Before Disturbed hit the stage, there was a video montage of their  career up until now.  They kicked off their fiery set with “Are You Ready” off their latest album, Evolution. The parts of their set that really got to be were the more stripped down songs like “Hold On to Memories” and “A Reason to Fight”. With “Hold On to Memories”, they showed photos and videos of friends and families, including towards the end, people who passed away recently like Chester Bennington and Chris Cornell.  “A Reason to Fight” was dedicated to those who have battled with mental health, a  subject prominent within the music community. They also performed their haunting cover of “The Sound of Silence”. “Inside the Fire” put the emphasis on fire as their was pyro engulfed the stage, especially during the guitar solo, where fire was coming down from the ceiling through flammable ropes. Disturbed returned to the stage for an encore, performing “The Light”, which required some crowd participation with the use of cell phone flashlights and lighters, “No More”, and last, but certainly not least, their staple song, “Down With the Sickness”.
