As much as we all love the atmosphere of a music festival, sometimes you just need to get down and dirty with your favourite band with only 700 of your closest mates, not 40,000.
Which is why many people choose to just go to side shows from festival bands, and others do both.
Organisers of Knotfest 2024 have both sides of the musical fence covered with an assortment of side shows now released, and HEAVY has taken it upon ourselves to run through them in a bit more detail for you, show by show.
Today we focus on Disturbed.
Chicago hard rockers DISTURBED return to Australia for the first time in eight years and will be performing their only Australian headline show in Adelaide. Insidious, infectious and a band without comparison, DISTURBED have quietly claimed a place at the forefront of modern rock along with record-breaking success since first emerging out of Chicago at the turn of the century. With two Grammy nominations, millions of record sales and five consecutive #1 debuts on the Billboard Top 200, the latter of which places the quartet in the same rarefied air as Metallica, DISTURBED also wield a bulletproof catalogue that ranges from 2000s The Sickness through to 2018’s Asylum, 2018’s Evolution and the triumph that was Divisive in 2022.
Special guests are Florida mainstays, WAGE WAR. Through an unwavering dedication to progression, WAGE WAR are ready to sharpen their patented hybrid of heavy pit-starting technicality and their hummable hypnotic melodies.
