The new run of dates includes 17 new shows across the UK and Europe, set to kick off later this year. They all come in celebration of the band’s iconic debut album, which will be celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2025.

Support will come from metal icons Megadeth, and for their headline appearance, Disturbed will play two full sets: one where they break out the setlist to the seminal ‘Sickness’ album in full, and a second comprising the greatest hits from throughout their career.

Dates kick off with an opening night at the Royal Arena in Copenhagen on September 28, before continuing throughout October. These include shows in Dusseldorf, Stuttgart, Zurich, Budapest, Krakow, Paris and more throughout the first half of the month, before a number of UK and Ireland dates round off the latter part of October.

The announcement of the 25th anniversary tour comes just days after David Draiman and co. dropped their new single ‘I Will Not Break’ – marking their first new music since the 2022 album ‘Divisive’.

Released on Friday (February 21), the track previews forthcoming music from Disturbed and was described by the members as “a necessary song, about becoming stronger than the forces that constantly try to tear you down.”

Next month, the band will drop the new 25th anniversary edition of ‘The Sickness’ to mark the milestone. Arriving on March 7 – exactly a quarter of a century on from the original release date – the 2025 edition will arrive in box set, vinyl, and CD variants.

It will also include b-sides, demos, and previously unreleased songs. Visit here to pre-order.

In other news, earlier today it was reported that the frontman is keen on collaborating with Kendrick Lamar. In a new interview, he said the idea comes as the band have written a track that “needs a strong rapper”, and said that he thinks Kendrick Lamar would be a suitable candidate.

Later this summer, Draiman will also be heading to the UK to take part in Black Sabbath’s final-ever live show, which will take place in Birmingham with support from Metallica, Slayer, Pantera and more.
