DISTURBED Show Getting Bigger With Each Tour
- Dec. 10, 2008

The Pulse of Radio reports that DISTURBED just announced plans on Monday (December for a winter U.S. tour that will begin in mid-January and serve as a warm-up for the band's more extensive Music As A Weapon trek in the spring. Frontman David Draiman told The Pulse of Radio that while the first stretch of dates will feature the usual elaborate stage production, DISTURBED will go really crazy on the Weapon run. "We're gonna save big bells and whistles for Weapon," he said. "That's always where we kind of pull out all the stops and go full speed. The warm-up run prior to it will still be one hell of a show, still gonna be the big rock show that DISTURBED always brings, but when it comes for Music As A Weapon, we always try to take it up a notch or two."

DISTURBED's "warm-up run," as Draiman calls it, will begin on January 16 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and extend to the end of February. SEVENDUST will be direct support to DISTURBED on the tour.

The fourth edition of Music As A Weapon will kick off in March with KILLSWITCH ENGAGE and FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH joining the headliners.

DISTURBED is on the road behind "Indestructible", its fourth studio effort. The CD's first single, "Inside The Fire", has landed DISTURBED its first Grammy nomination, for "Best Hard Rock Performance".
