I remember a few months ago, I heard a song on the radio and asked "This is what Disturbed sounds like now?" and turns out it was actually Breaking Benjamin. I was shocked that there is a Disturbed-derivative out in the marketplace that is just as big as its influence. Even more shocking was Disturbed has been around so long that it has the power to do that.
Well, their management teams are smart because earlier today, Disturbed frontman David Draiman and Breaking Benjamin frontman Benjamin Burnley announced on SiriusXM Octane that the two bands will be hitting the road this summer on a co-headlining tour. Support will come from Alter Bridge and Saint Asonia. Cities have been announced but no official venues yet.
