Watch: Disturbed get drenched for second time as pyro sets off sprinkler system

They're down with the slickness...

Author: Paul TraversPublished 22nd Aug 2023

Disturbed have been soaked for the second time in a matter of weeks, after pyrotechnics at their show set off emergency sprinkler systems.

The sprinklers were set off during closing number ‘Inside The Fire’, at the end of the band's set at Freedom Mortgage Pavilion in Camden, New Jersey Monday night (21 August).

Water poured all over the stage and the four members of the band and was captured for posterity in a fan-filmed video.

Watch: Disturbed's pyro sets off the sprinkler system

A similar thing happened at Disturbed’s 27 July concert at Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion outside of Houston, Texas.

Following that show vocalist David Draiman tweeted: "Well, last night in Houston was a first. Our pyro set off the fire suppression system onstage at the end of the set for a surprise rain shower onstage lol."

Guitarist and keyboardist Dan Donegan also posted a picture of the band caught in the deluge.

He wrote: “Houston, we have a problem! Take a close look. This was another first in our career! Literally burning the house down.

“During our encore we fired off so much pyro that it set off the sprinkler system and rained down buckets on top of us for the entire end of the show.

“This goes down as one of the most memorable shows for sure. Plus destroyed my in ears and (microphone emoji) and possibly other gear. What a night!”
