Disturbed rocked Arizona, with “The Sickness 25th Anniversary Tour”
Disturbed took the stage at PHX Arena in Phoenix, AZ on Thursday, May 15, 2025, as part of their The Sickness 25th Anniversary Tour. The remarkable performance featured two sets: the band played their album ‘The Sickness’ in its entirety, followed by a selection of their greatest hits. Special guests Daughtry and Nothing More opened the event.

The setlist included fan favorites such as ‘Stupify’, ‘Down with the Sickness’, ‘Indestructible’, ‘Inside the Fire’, and ‘The Light’. This tour commemorated the 25th anniversary of The Sickness, their debut album released in 2000, which has been certified five times platinum in the U.S.
The PHX arena was filled with energy and anticipation. ‘The Sickness’ is a crucial album in the nu metal alternative scene. It is one of those records that will always hold a special place in our hearts. Disturbed’s live performance is truly memorable, and after all these years, they continue to impress. The PHX arena served as the ideal venue for this concert, and while I am uncertain if it was sold out, it certainly sounded and appeared as though it was.
The performance commenced with a five-minute video showcasing the band’s historical journey, both past and present. As the lights faded and fog began to emerge from beneath the enormous backdrop, the moment had arrived for this unforgettable evening to commence. Subsequently, Draiman was introduced in his iconic Hannibal Lecter attire. Disturbed consistently delivers one of the most exceptional live performances, characterized by fire, fireworks, and the remarkable musical abilities of top-notch musicians. The audience was reluctant for this nostalgic evening to conclude, but regrettably, it did. This performance was truly memorable, and we eagerly anticipate what Disturbed will present in the future.
