It's never too early to plan ahead! And as of right now, we've got a frontrunner for the first major tour of 2016. Though most acts have yet to reveal their 2016 tour plans, Disturbed are letting fans know that they will be back on the road next year in support of their sixth studio album, Immortalized.

Up until the announcement, Disturbed only had a one-off record release show at their hometown House of Blues in Chicago on the Immortalized album's street date (Aug. 21), but they'll be reaching many more markets in the U.S. and Canada next March and April. The tour gets underway March 11 in Vancouver, British Columbia, and continues through an April 10 finale in Memphis.

Fans who pre-order the band's new album via the group's website will have exclusive access to the tour pre-sale, which begins Aug. 18 at 10AM local time. Tickets will be available to the general public on Aug. 21.

"Our return from hiatus was for one reason: we are dying for our fix of the live experience," says David Draiman. "We need to satisfy our addiction to the feeling you get when you play to the most dedicated and vibrant fan base in existence, the Disturbed ones. We know the arena shows will come, but we wanted to start out feeling like it did in the old days. Intimate, hot, and intense. We can't wait. Prepare yourselves. The Leviathan has risen."

Disturbed have already rocketed up the charts with their lead single "The Vengeful One" and they've also unleashed the songs "What Are You Waiting For," "Fire It Up" and the title track ahead of the album's release. In addition to the band's website, the album is also available to pre-order via Amazon and iTunes.
