DISTURBED MOVED TO OZZFEST MAINSTAGE
AFTER OVERWHELMING CROWD RESPONSE
AT TOUR KICK-OFF IN CHICAGO
As a result of the overwhelming fan turn-out for DISTURBED‘s headlining second stage Ozzfest performance at the tour kick-off in Chicago last Friday (June 8), the group have been moved to the main stage. Even the newly expanded second stage area couldn’t accommodate the number of fans on hand for the Chicago-based group’s explosive set.
Ozzfest organizers decided to move DISTURBED to the 5:05 PM slot on the mainstage due to safety concerns. This new scenario took effect on Saturday, June 9 in Milwaukee.
As previously announced, DISTURBED were originally offered a spot on the mainstage months ago, but turned it down because they wanted to perform up front and close to their fans. While the band–DAVID DRAIMAN (vocals), DAN DONEGAN (guitar), FUZZ (bass) and MIKE WENGREN (drums, programming)–regret not being able to perform in a more intimate setting, they understand the need for them to appear on the mainstage in order for their fans to see their show in a comfortable and safe environment.
