Disturbed Concert Pyrotechnics Damage Chicago Bulls’ Championship Banners
Disturbed’s concert pyrotechnics have damaged six of the Chicago Bulls’ championship banners. The United Center reported that the damage occurred during a March 8 performance. The banners will be restored by next season, although they are absent for the current season. Meanwhile, Disturbed plans a 25th-anniversary tour with other notable bands.
Recently, pyrotechnics from a Disturbed concert caused damage to six NBA championship banners belonging to the Chicago Bulls at the United Center. The banners, which commemorate the Bulls’ achievements during Michael Jordan’s era in the 1990s, sustained “minor damage,” as stated by the United Center on March 14. The incident occurred during a performance on March 8, which featured Disturbed along with Three Days Grace and Sevendust.
Concert attendees shared videos on social media that showed flames near the banners. A spokesperson for the United Center indicated that they are collaborating with the Bulls to explore repair options, expressing hope that the banners could be reinstated by the next season. Unfortunately, they will remain absent for the remainder of the 2024-25 season.
As Disturbed prepares for a new tour across the UK and Europe, they plan to celebrate their 25th anniversary of their debut album, scheduled for this year. The band will perform 17 new shows, with metal legends Megadeth providing support. The concerts will feature a special two-set performance, including the complete setlist from their acclaimed album “Sickness” along with greatest hits from their extensive catalog.
Furthermore, frontman David Draiman has expressed a desire to collaborate with rapper Kendrick Lamar, noting that the band has created a track that could benefit from a powerful rap verse. In addition, Draiman is set to join Black Sabbath during their final live show later this summer in Birmingham, supported by renowned bands like Metallica and Slayer.
In conclusion, the pyrotechnics from a recent Disturbed concert have resulted in minor damage to the Chicago Bulls’ championship banners, which will be absent for the rest of the season. The United Center is working on repairs to restore the banners by the next season. Meanwhile, Disturbed is focused on their upcoming anniversary tour and potential collaborations, marking significant milestones in their musical journey.
