Chicago's Disturbed emerged around the year 2000 with a unique and powerful sound that quickly set them apart in the hard rock scene. Their music is known for its inspirational drive, encouraging listeners to fight for what they believe in and never give up. This approach has propelled them to the top of 21st century rock, with over 17 million albums sold, nearly 8 billion streams, and sold-out shows worldwide.

Disturbed has achieved remarkable success, earning two GRAMMY® nominations and achieving five consecutive #1 albums on the Billboard Top 200, a feat shared only with Metallica in the hard rock genre. Their influential debut album "The Sickness" (2000) went platinum five times, and they've continued to release a string of hit songs, including the platinum-selling "Stupify," "Inside The Fire," and "Land of Confusion," the double-platinum "Stricken," the six-time platinum "Down With The Sickness," and the astonishing seven-time platinum "The Sound of Silence." The latter was nominated for a GRAMMY® for "Best Rock Performance," and the band won "Best Rock Artist" at the 2017 iHeartRadio Music Awards.

Disturbed is a band that never stops evolving. Their 2022 album "Divisive" spawned three #1 hits on Rock Radio, including "Hey You" and "Unstoppable," proving they continue to push boundaries and captivate audiences.
Fan reviews:

The three bands were absolutely amazing, the energy of the crowd was fantastic and the venue was clean and easy to navigate. Here’s to hoping there will be many more rock shows!

This was one of the best show I have seen in years. Hopefully to see them all again.

A must see! I've seen some major concerts, but this one ranks near the top. Will definitely be trying to see these artists again.

Loved and lived every moment! We had a fabulous time, both Disturbed and Falling in Reverse gave amazing performances. We screamed and sang and danced all night, by the time we returned to our hotel we had no voices left. Worth every penny and will live on as a memory for our grands long after we are gone.

So much fun! A wonderful night of amazing rock music, humor, therapy sessions too. Hope to see them all again sometime for sure.
