After much anticipation, Disturbed took the stage for a spectacle of sound, visuals, and raw emotion that had the Enterprise Center buzzing from start to finish. The band treated fans to a full playthrough of their landmark 2000 album The Sickness, followed by a slew of their greatest hits. The show began with a jaw-dropping entrance. Lead singer David Draiman was wheeled onto the stage in a straight jacket wearing a mask as the crowd erupted into cheers. Slowly unraveling, Draiman’s transformation into the fiery frontman immediately set the tone for the night. As the band went into their set, flames shot up from the stage, amplifying the intensity of the moment.
As the Disturbed set progressed through the album, fans were ecstatic to hear iconic tracks like “Stupify” and “Down with the Sickness”. Each song was met with deafening cheers, the energy in the arena palpable. When they hit the album’s last track “Meaning of Life”, Draiman was strapped into an electric chair, and as fireworks shot into the air “electrocuting” him, the crowd’s excitement reached its peak.
After a quick intermission, Disturbed dove into their greatest hits, including “The Light” and “Ten Thousand Fists”. The most memorable moment came during their iconic cover of Simon & Garfunkel’s “The Sound of Silence”. As the haunting piano intro began, an orchestra was brought out on stage, and fire shot up from the piano as the drums built to a crescendo. It was a striking contrast to the high-energy tracks before it. Yet sharing the same intensity between fans and the band. Visually stunning and musically powerful, the Disturbed anniversary show was a celebration of both their legacy and the connection with their fans, 25 years after their biggest hits were released. This was a concert that will be remembered as a true highlight of their career.
Sevendust
Sevendust opened with a powerhouse performance on Disturbed’s The Sickness 25th Anniversary Tour at the Enterprise Center. As fans continued to fill the venue, their quick, hit-packed set had the crowd on their feet. Their set included all their biggest hits, such as “Denial” and “Enemy”. The energy was electric, with the audience feeding off the band’s commanding stage presence.
A particularly touching moment came when lead singer Lajon Witherspoon reflected on St. Louis’ significance in Sevendust’s career. He expressed genuine awe at the size of the crowd at our largest arena, remembering when the band played at Pop’s, one of the city’s smallest venues. The moment was humble and heartwarming, reminding everyone how far the band had come.
Sevendust didn’t need elaborate visuals, their performance spoke for itself. They set the perfect tone for the night, leaving the crowd fired up for the rest of the night.
Three Days Grace
Next to take the stage was Three Days Grace. This was an electrifying moment for fans, especially as it marked a historic collaboration. For the first time in the band’s history, current lead singer Matt Walst was joined by the band’s original vocalist, Adam Gontier, creating an unforgettable dynamic. The highly anticipated set showcased the best of both worlds, as Gontier and Walst performed songs from across the band’s career—sometimes together, and sometimes each taking the lead on the songs they made famous. Gontier took the reins on fan favorites like “Riot” and “Never Too Late”, delivering his signature vocal power and stirring the crowd into a frenzy. Walst owned the spotlight on newer tracks such as “So Called Life” and “Painkiller”—the latter marking his first song as the band’s lead singer back in 2015. The balance between the two voices gave the set an incredible energy, merging past and present seamlessly.
The peak of their performance came mid-set when they performed “I Hate Everything About You”. As the band hit the opening notes, the audience’s roar drowned out the singers. Fans sang every word in unison, creating a moment of connection between the band and the crowd. It was clear that this song, their most famous, held a special place in everyone’s hearts.
To close the set, Three Days Grace gave a nod to St. Louis with a fun, memorable moment. Walst and Gontier rocked St. Louis Blues gear while the team’s mascot, Louie, joined them on stage as they performed “Riot”. Three Days Grace didn’t just put on a great show; they gave fans a unique experience that blended their past and present. Fans are looking forward to a new album set to be released this year.
