In a Really? moment, I saw over at MetalSucks that DISTURBED has tapped KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, CHIMARIA and LACUNA COIL as openers for their fourth (poorly named) Music As A Weapon tour. I guess they realized bands like Spineshank are not going to bring the kids out, so why not try something new? And for the actually tolerable bands (everybody else) this serves as an opportunity to reach an audience who probably never heard them before (or any other band that isn't blasted on their local rock station) thus this is a win for everybody (except me, but I can leave early). No tour itinerary has officially been announced yet, but as soon as we get those, we'll post them.
Update 02/06/09 – 2nd stage bands and full tour dates have been posted. Check it out
