Disturbed announced their first Australia and New Zealand headline tour on 26 October 2026, with seven arena dates set for April and May 2027. The run is billed as The Sickness & Greatest Hits and pairs a complete performance of The Sickness with a second set drawn from the band’s wider catalogue.
Disturbed’s 2027 Australia-NZ dates span seven arenas
The official tour announcement lists the New Zealand and Australian leg from 22 April 2027 at Spark Arena in Auckland to 9 May 2027 at RAC Arena in Perth. The route also includes Christchurch, Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide and Melbourne before reaching its final listed date.
Each show will feature two sets separated by an intermission. The first set will cover The Sickness in full, while the second will draw on the group’s greatest hits. Rolling Stone describes the return as the band’s first headline tour in the region in more than a decade.
The Sickness frames Disturbed’s two-set Australia-NZ return
The album-led design gives the announced run a clear musical structure: one set is devoted to a single Disturbed album, while the second opens out to the wider catalogue. That pairing connects the tour name with the programme rather than treating the album as a brief reference.
Disturbed are associated with nu-metal and modern hard rock, and the planned format places that catalogue beside a full performance of the album that anchors the tour title. The programme is therefore built around a complete album presentation and a separate hits set across arenas in two countries.
Asia extends the announced route through 25 May 2027
The same official update adds five Asian dates after the Australia and New Zealand run. They start on 13 May 2027 in Hong Kong and continue through Bangkok, Tokyo and Taipei before reaching Manila on 25 May 2027.
That extension keeps The Sickness at the centre of the 2027 programme while the route moves beyond the two-country headline leg. The official page identifies venues for each Asian stop, including AsiaWorld-Expo in Hong Kong and SM Mall of Asia Arena in Manila.
