DISTURBED Wields 'Music As A Weapon' This Weekend

March 20, 2009

The Pulse of Radio reports: DISTURBED heads back on the road Saturday night (March 21) as the band kicks off the fourth edition of the Music As A Weapon tour in Waterloo, Iowa. The lineup this year also features KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, LACUNA COIL, and CHIMAIRA. DISTURBED frontman David Draiman told The Pulse of Radio a while back that finding the right balance of bands to appear under the headliner is always a challenge. "There aren't too many bands out there that are just a step down from us. There's a lot of bands out there that are doing similar business to us. You take a KORN, you take a GODSMACK, you take, you know, ROB ZOMBIE, you know, bands like that — it's hard to partner up with somebody who basically can go out and do the business on their own. So it's difficult building the bill."

The start of the tour was pushed back from Friday (March 20),where it was scheduled to begin with an outdoor show in Madison, Wisconsin, due to cold weather. The Madison gig has been rescheduled to May 10. More details are up at Disturbed1.com.

Earlier this week, DISTURBED announced that fans will be able to purchase a digital download of each date on the trek at bootlegs.disturbed1.com. The price will be $9.99 and each download will be available within three days after the show.

DISTURBED is touring behind its fourth album, 2008's "Indestructible", which has sold 952,000 copies since its release last June.
