Asylum Tour is a current concert tour by American heavy metal band Disturbed in support of the group's fifth studio album, Asylum, which was released in August 2010.^[1]

The tour began in mid-August 2010 with an appearance as part of a series of concerts held during the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in Sturgis, South Dakota, United States.^[2] This was followed by the commencement of the Uproar Festival, a North American touring event which features Disturbed as headliners and includes acts such as Avenged Sevenfold, Stone Sour and Hellyeah.^[3] The festival began in Minneapolis and culminated in Madison, Wisconsin in early October.

In mid-November, a European leg will commence in Helsinki. The European dates are part of the "Taste of Chaos" package tour, which will feature Papa Roach, Buckcherry and Halestorm, as well as Disturbed.^[4] The leg will wrap up in Nottingham, United Kingdom in mid-December.

Lead singer David Draiman has indicated that the production levels for the tour will surpass those on previous tours, stating that there will be an aspect "that no one has ever seen from Disturbed live — very theatrical, very dramatic, very visually stimulating".^[5] Radio show hardDrive commented on the stage show, calling it "a total assault of the senses".^[6]

On October 8, 2010, it was reported that David Draiman was diagnosed with a "serious throat condition" and—as a result—all of the band's U.S. headline dates following the Uproar Festival had been canceled.^[7]
