Opening up the tour performances for Disturbed, is San Antonio, Texas rock outfit Nothing More. The group’s recent album, “CARNAL,” featured the track “ANGEL SONG,” a collaboration with Disturbed frontman David Draiman alongside their heavy-hitting number-one single on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay charts with “IF IT DOESN’T HURT.”
“Having Draiman sing on our new single ‘ANGEL SONG’ was a dream come true,” said Nothing More frontman Jonny Hawkins in a press release. “We are experiencing what it is like to have a dream within a dream come true…we are supporting Disturbed on their 25th anniversary to 25th anniversary of ‘THE SICKNESS!’ This tour is going to crush! “If we could go back in time and tell our younger selves this tour would be happening, then we would have prematurely died from excessive levels of excitement.”
The group will also have their own pre-sale tickets, which will go on sale Thursday, Oct. 17, at 10 am at nothingmore.net . Fans can use the password CARNAL to access the sale.
