Metal heads assemble, because Chicago metal band Disturbed, are returning to Australian and New Zealand to annihilate an arena near you. The four-piece will be smashing their way through Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and Auckland, for what is expected to be a face-melting show. After announcing a hiatus in 2011, Disturbed regrouped and jumped back into the studio to release Immortalized last year.

The tour surfaces as the band was booked to play Soundwave Festival in February/March – and we all know how that went. It went nowhere. For various reasons. However, after every rainy day comes a rainbow, and Australian fans will now get to see the iconic band play a monster headline tour – which hasn’t happened since 2011.

Joining Disturbed will be Melbourne’s own hard rockers, Twelve Foot Ninja. It’s going to mental.

Pre-sale tickets kick-off Wednesday 6 April. General public tickets will be released Friday 8 April. All of the info can be found here.
