DISTURBED will be making their debut appearance at Rock Fest in July 2018. Disturbed have made good on every promise since their genesis. Their quadruple-platinum 2000 debut, The Sickness, formally announced their arrival as hard rock leaders. Throughout their career, they received a Grammy Award nomination in the category of “Best Hard Rock Performance” for “Inside the Fire” in 2009 and churned out nine No. 1 singles at Active Rock Radio, while selling over 12 million records globally. Immortalized (2015) lived up to its title and fortified their legacy further.
Following a tradition of outside-the-box covers, Disturbed tackled Simon & Garfunkel’s classic “The Sound of Silence” for Immortalized (2015). Rather than amplifying it, they went the other direction, tapping into vocalist David Draiman’s classical training and guitarist Dan Donegan’s knack for arrangement. With an orchestral expanse, acoustic leads, and chilling delivery, it’s unlike anything in the group’s catalog.
INCUBUS will be performing at Rock Fest for their first time. Since their formation in 1991, iconic multiplatinum Los Angeles rock band Incubus have consciously and continually shifted their perspective with each subsequent album, preserving the spirit that initially drove them and simultaneously challenging themselves as artists and human beings. Their eighth full-length, the aptly titled 8, arrives at a significant milestone for Incubus—releasing exactly 20 years since their major label debut S.C.I.E.N.C.E. landed back in 1997. A little older, a lot wiser, quite tighter, but equally ready to challenge themselves and rock music at large, Incubus change their perspective once more in 2017.
By 2017, the band’s sales exceeded 23 million worldwide, while landing four Top 5 debuts on the Billboard Top 200 and one #1 album. They’ve graced the stages of festivals everywhere from Lollapalooza and Air + Style to Download Festival and Pinkpop in addition to touring with Linkin Park, OutKast, Moby, Jane’s Addiction, Queens of the Stone Age and many more.
GODSMACK returns to Rock Fest after headlining in 2015. Twenty years since the release of their debut album and 20 million album sales later, Godsmack are an even stronger animal than before. The proof is in the grooves of When Legends Rise, their first album in four years that’s due out April 27, 2018. “Bulletproof,” the first single off the new album doubles down on their combination of tightly wound riffs, rhythmic fury, naked emotions and pushed-to-the-edge vocals, with melodic precision and tight songcraft. When Legends Rise, the band’s seventh studio album, is produced by Erik Ron and Sully Erna.
The band’s strong live performances, coupled with high record sales and growing number of fans, landed them time slots on Ozzfest 1999 and 2000, a European tour with Black Sabbath and an appearance at Woodstock 1999. In 2000, Godsmack released their second CD, Awake. This album’s title track dominated rock radio and broke chart records throughout 2000 and 2001. The CD’s instrumental track “Vampires” earned the band its first Grammy nomination!
