Chart-topping metal act Disturbed will headline an all-metal line-up also featuring P.O.D and Alter Bridge during a three-date New Zealand tour in September.
The band - led by gravelly-voiced front man David Draiman - will play Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch with metal acts P.O.D, Alter Bridge and Redline in support.
The tour hits Auckland's Vector Arena on September 9, Wellington's TSB Arena on September 10 and ends in Christchurch on September 12.
Disturbed are a hugely popular metal act and have sold more than 10 million albums world wide, thanks to anthemic singles like Down with the Sickness and Ten Thousand Fists. Their most recent album Indestructable topped the New Zealand album charts. Christian nu-metallers P.O.D have just released their seventh album, When Angels & Serpents Dance, while Alter Bridge features former members of rock act Creed.
Kiwi rock act Redline have supported Disturbed on previous tours, and have also performed with Evanescence.
Tickets for all shows go on sale on Thursday, July 10.
