DISTURBED TO BRING THE SICKNESS 25TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR TO THE O2

Multi-platinum rock band Disturbed has announced that they will be bringing The Sickness 25th Anniversary Tour to The O2 on Sunday 26 October 2025.

Priority Tickets are available to O2 and Virgin Media customers at https://priority.o2.co.uk/ from 10am on Wednesday 26 February and go on general sale at 10am on Friday 28 February via www.theo2.co.uk.

The tour celebrates 25 years of Disturbed’s seminal debut album which launched the band into public consciousness and is one of the most important and influential heavy metal albums of all time. Each night will feature two sets of music, opening with Disturbed playing the five times platinum The Sickness in full, followed by a full set of greatest hits.

On Friday, the band shared their new single “I Will Not Break” via Vertigo Music/UMG. Disturbed has become one of the most celebrated and commercially successful metal acts of all time and this marks the band’s first new music since their acclaimed 2022 album, Divisive. The song previews forthcoming music from Disturbed and they call it “a necessary song, about becoming stronger than the forces that constantly try to tear you down.” “I Will Not Break,” includes the stirring lyrics “I’ve had enough of feeling terrified, now I’m deciding that I won’t be hiding from anyone,” which encourages listeners to push back in the face of adversity and for the song, the band again teamed up with the Divisive’s producer WZRD BLD (Knocked Loose, Ice Nine Kills). Listen to “I Will Not Break” here.

Disturbed’s forthcoming 25th anniversary edition release of The Sickness will be released on March 7th via Warner. The Sickness, their seminal debut album, launched the band into public consciousness and is one of the most important and influential heavy metal albums of all time. To commemorate the 25th anniversary, the band will reissue their five-times RIAA®-Platinum certified debut album on March 7th, exactly 25 years to the date of their original release, in several box set, vinyl, and CD editions.

To date, Disturbed has seen record-breaking success with sales of over 17 million units and 14 billion streams. It all began with The Sickness, which includes their songs “Down With The Sickness” (recently certified 8x platinum), “Stupify” (2x platinum), “Voices” (Gold), and “The Game” (Gold). The album peaked at #29 on the Billboard Top 200 chart and spent a total of 106 weeks on the chart. To date, The Sickness has been streamed 2.5B times worldwide. It was included as #24 on Loudwire’s “Top 25 Debut Hard Rock Albums” list, one of Metal Hammer’s “20 Best Albums of 2000,” and was highlighted in Revolver Magazine’s “20 Essential Nu Metal Albums” list. Billboard said of the title track upon release: “‘Down With The Sickness” is, of course, the quintessential Disturbed song, harnessing all the band’s seethe and its now-famous tribal beat and guitar chug into three and a half minutes of alt-metal mayhem. It’s menacing, it’s rhythmic, it’s rebellious.”
