Disturbed announced their first headline tour in over a decade on 27 October 2026, with The Sickness & Greatest Hits set for Australia and New Zealand. The seven-show run begins in Auckland on 22 April 2027 and ends in Perth on 9 May 2027.
Disturbed take The Sickness & Greatest Hits to seven arenas
The Sickness & Greatest Hits opens at Spark Arena in Auckland on 22 April 2027, followed by a New Zealand date at Wolfbrook Arena in Christchurch on 24 April 2027. Australia then receives dates in Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne and Perth, with the seven-city itinerary set out in full.
The Brisbane Entertainment Centre hosts the third show on 28 April 2027. Afterpay Arena in Sydney follows on 1 May 2027, while Adelaide’s Entertainment Centre hosts the band on 3 May 2027. Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne is dated for 5 May 2027, before RAC Arena in Perth closes the run on 9 May 2027.
Ticketmaster’s New Zealand listing describes the run as the band’s first headline tour there in over a decade.
Disturbed build the 2027 shows around The Sickness
Each concert is structured as two sets with an intermission between them. The first set presents The Sickness in full, while the second draws on the group’s greatest hits. The format connects the tour name with a full-album performance and a broader career selection.
The band’s identity remains anchored in modern metal and hard rock, while the planned programme joins a complete album performance with a separate hits set. That structure gives the New Zealand dates a clear place within a wider seven-city itinerary, rather than treating Auckland and Christchurch as isolated shows.
