ANAHEIM, Calif. — It's time to get down with the sickness.

The Chicago-based heavy metal band Disturbed is celebrating the 25-year anniversary of their debut album, "The Sickness," with a 34-date North American tour kicking off in late February. Each night will feature two sets of music, opening with Disturbed playing "The Sickness" in full, followed by a set of their greatest hits.

Tickets will be available starting with an artist presale on Tuesday, Oct. 15, at 10 a.m. Fans can preregister for presale tickets at disturbed.live. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on-sale on Friday, Oct. 18, at 10 a.m. at disturbed1.com/tour.

Since its release in 2000, "The Sickness" has been certified five times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America and spent 106 weeks on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart. Revolver named it one of the Top 25 debut hard rock albums.

Opening up the tour performances for Disturbed is San Antonio 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 No. 1 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 presale tickets, which will go on sale Thursday, Oct. 17, at 10 a.m. at nothingmore.net. Fans can use the password CARNAL to access the sale.
