Disturbed will be taking over the headlining slot recently vacated by Nine Inch Nails at this year’s ‘Louder Than Life‘ festival. Last week Nine Inch Nails announced that they would be scrapping all over their 2021 touring plans amid growing COVID-19 safety concerns.
Today (August 23rd) it was announced that Disturbed have since taken over the September 25th headlining spot of the ‘Louder Than Life‘ festival. In related news, Volbeat and Atreyu have both joined the festival as well.
‘Louder Than Life‘ organizer Danny Wimmer commented:
“I want to say a massive thank you to Disturbed, Volbeat and Atreyu for immediately stepping in when we called them last week on such short notice. The last few weeks have been a wild ride, but these bands made it clear how much they want to be out there playing for their fans and will be ready to take the stage.
We also talked to Metallica last week, who have confirmed their excitement to play Louder Than Life this September. The road is going to be bumpy, but the team at DWP is undeterred and will continue to adapt to any road blocks. We are committed to putting on the rock reunion we’ve all been waiting for. Keep On Keeping On.”
Disturbed previously cancelled their summer tour this year amid COVID-19 safety concerns. The group were due to hit the road in support of the 20th anniversary of their 5x multi-platinum debut album “The Sickness“.
