Disturbed warms up for Ozzfest with spring concerts

Before setting out on this summer's Ozzfest tour, rockers Disturbed will get their chops in shape with a brief round of North American shows.

The group, which spent the winter headlining the Jagermeister Music Tour, launches the trek in late May, and is so far scheduled to play 10 US and Canadian dates by early June. Details are included below.

After that, the band gears up for Ozzfest's late-June kick-off, and will grace that outing's main-stage roster through mid-August.

Meanwhile, the group heads down under later this month for a pair of New Zealand concerts and a trio of Australian dates . More information about those shows is posted at the band's website.

Disturbed continues to back its latest album, "Ten Thousand Fists," which surfaced in late September and debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 chart thanks to first-week sales of about 240,000 copies. The Chicago-based group recorded the disc in its hometown, and co-produced the set with Johnny K, who oversaw the group's multi-platinum 2000 release, "The Sickness," and 2002's platinum-plus-selling "Believe," which also debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200.

"Ten Thousand Fists" features the cut "Just Stop," the music video for which is streaming at the band's website.
