Beastwars Join the Bill for Disturbed's Only NZ Concert

Beastwars Join the Bill for Disturbed's Only NZ Concert

Last week Frontier Touring announced Killswitch Engage would join Disturbed as special guests at their Auckland concert, and this week we've added another mammoth rock group to the bill! New Zealand's very own Beastwars will kick off proceedings at this ultimate metal and hard-rock lovers event!

Beastwars are well known throughout New Zealand for their high-intensity, possessive live shows and their darkly appealing recordings. They've toured with the likes of Mastodon, Windhand, Kyuss, High On Fire and Fumanchu and are widely regarded as one of the country's greatest hard-rock assets. The band are currently working on their third studio album which will be released early 2016.

Killswitch Engage burst onto the scene with the genre-defining Alive or Just Breathing, notching a Grammy nomination in 2005 for the title track from 2004's gold-certified The End of Heartache and following up that landmark album with the Gold-selling As Daylight Dies and gracing the covers of countless metal and rock magazines around the world.

This is the Disturbed's fourth NZ appearance since 2003 and will once again prove their absolute loyalty to their kiwi fans when they play one show only at Auckland's Vector Arena on Thursday 28th January.

"Disturbed are huge in New Zealand. The American metallers have topped the charts here...- a fact that singer David Draiman was quick to thank the crowd for.

They've achieved that success by keeping things simple... good, honest - and bloody loud - rock". - Fairfax NZ

From their quadruple-platinum 2000 debut The Sickness to now having sold over 12 million records globally, the band's new album Immortalized is living up to its title and fortifying Disturbed legacy even further. They became only the third band in history to debut five consecutive albums at #1 in America after Immortalized topped the Billboard 200 earlier this year and have remained one of the most relevant bands in heavy rock music of all time.

Disturbed, live in New Zealand this January with Killswitch Engage and now Beastwars! Buy your tickets before this show sells out.
