The Chicago Tribune reports that DISTURBED‘s pyrotechnic display during their concert on Saturday (March 8) at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois, caused “minor damage” to the Chicago Bulls‘ championship banners.
As a result, the banners, which celebrate the Bulls‘ six NBA titles, had to be removed for the rest of the season. The damage occurred because the pyrotechnics were positioned directly beneath them.
United Center communications said in a statement: “United Center is currently working with the Bulls to explore options to repair these banners. While the banners will not be in place for the remainder of this season, we do anticipate them being back in place next season.”
DISTURBED launched the U.S. leg of “The Sickness 25th Anniversary Tour” on February 25 at the Ford Idaho Center Arena in Nampa, Idaho. This tour commemorates 25 years of the band’s groundbreaking debut album, which propelled them into the spotlight and remains one of the most significant and influential heavy metal records of all time.
Each night will feature two sets of music, opening with DISTURBED playing the five times platinum The Sickness in full, followed by a full set of greatest hits. The first half of the tour will feature support from special guests THREE DAYS GRACE, featuring the return of original singer Adam Gontier, and opener SEVENDUST, and the second half will feature special guests DAUGHTRY with opener NOTHING MORE.
