Disturbed is slated to replace Nine Inch Nails at Louder Than Life 2021 after the latter cancelled all their touring plans this year. Volbeat and Atreyu have also been added to the festival, though they're not replacing anyone.
"I want to say a massive thank you to Disturbed, Volbeat and Atreyu for immediately stepping in when we called them last week on such short notice," said organizer Danny Wimmer. "The last few weeks have been a wild ride, but these bands made it clear how much they want to be out there playing for their fans and will be ready to take the stage.
"We also talked to Metallica last week, who have confirmed their excitement to play Louder Than Life this September. The road is going to be bumpy, but the team at DWP is undeterred and will continue to adapt to any road blocks. We are committed to putting on the rock reunion we've all been waiting for. Keep On Keeping On."
