DISTURBED Awarded Key To The City Of Tinley Park, Illinois

August 30, 2023

The four members of DISTURBED were presented with a key to the city earlier tonight (Wednesday, August 30) prior to their concert at Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre in Tinley Park, Illinois.

DISTURBED shared a couple of photos from the ceremony on social media and wrote in an accompanying message: "What an amazing honor receiving the key to the city in our hometown!

"Thank you to the Mayor of Tinley Park, @colleen.sullivan71 and to all of the trustees and board members for this sentimental moment."

Tinley Park mayor Colleen Sullivan shared a photo of the presentation on social media and wrote in an accompanying message: "What an amazing night recognizing DISTURBED in front of their hometown crowd of Tinley Park! It was an honor to present them with a Key to the City, on behalf of the Village Board & the Village of Tinley Park!"

Formed in Chicago in 1994, DISTURBED filmed the music video for its hit song "Down With The Sickness" at the Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre (then known as Tweeter Center) during Q101's Jamboree in May 2001.

DISTURBED's current lineup consists of vocalist David Draiman, guitarist/keyboardist Dan Donegan, drummer Mike Wengren and bassist John Moyer.

In a 2018 Chicago Sun-Times interview, Donegan, who is the only member of DISTURBED still residing in Illinois, reflected on the early days for the group, stating: "I love that little reminder of how it all started for us, playing those types of rooms. Places like the Vic, Metro and House Of Blues were bucket-list venues that we wanted to play as a local band, and it's nice to be able to return and give fans that intimate show and a little taste of the new DISTURBED music."

During the same chat, Donegan said that he still returns to those venues when not on tour, adding: "I'm still always looking for inspiration, especially from the younger bands. I like seeing the fire they have playing these clubs. It brings me back."

DISTURBED kicked off the summer 2023 leg of its "Take Back Your Life" North American tour on July 11 at the Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado. Support on the trek is coming from BREAKING BENJAMIN and JINJER.

Released in November, DISTURBED's latest album, "Divisive", was recorded early last year with producer Drew Fulk (MOTIONLESS IN WHITE, LIL PEEP, HIGHLY SUSPECT) in Nashville, Tennessee.

According to Billboard, "Divisive" sold 26,000 equivalent album units in its first week of release, with 22,000 units via album sales.

On the all-format Billboard 200 chart, "Divisive" debuted at No. 13.

DISTURBED has had five No. 1s on the all-genre chart, beginning with "Believe" in 2002.
