Ever wonder what rock bands played in Maine the most over the years? Although not confirmed, these 14 bands have shown our state plenty of love over the years, with a couple playing here close to 50 times.
Excluding our talented local acts, here’s a rundown of the bands that I found to have played the most shows in the state and I’m pretty confident that we have two clear winners:
On April 18, 2009, Disturbed brought their "Music as a Weapon IV" tour to town with Killswitch Engage, Lacuna Coil, and Chimaira. Before the band gave Portland the show that they had come to love, singer David Draiman opened up about what was an trying and emotional year.
Disturbed's David Draiman has proposed a conversation with Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong after the singer's lyric change favoring Palestine at Coachella.
Disturbed kicked off their tour celebrating the 25th anniversary of 'The Sickness,' with special guests Three Days Grace and Sevendust. See setlists and video.
David Draiman celebrates Disturbed's new song, "I Will Not Break," the band's upcoming tour and what it means to him to be part of Ozzy Osbourne's final show.
Back in 2000, the WCYY Holiday Bizarre brought Orgy, Disturbed, and Maine’s own Rustic Overtones and 6Gig to a sold-out crowd of 7,500 at the Cumberland County Civic Center. It was a night of adrenaline, chaos, and unforgettable rock energy.
WCYY's 2006 Holiday Bizarre was a big one. We welcomed back Disturbed along with Stone Sour, Flyleaf and Nonpoint. We had all 4 bands come by the radio station to chat on the air and perform for some lucky winners before the big event at the Cumberland County Civic Center.
Welcome to Rockville provided plenty of memories, with Foo Fighters, Limp Bizkit, Falling in Reverse, Disturbed and Joey Belladonna all having fun moments.
