On The Road wit Disturbed Episode 2 - Merch Hustles & Stage Muscle
In Episode 2 of On The Road with Disturbed, we dive into the heartbeat of the tour’s day-to-day hustle — the merch table and the main stage.
Meet Nick Engle, the stage manager who ensures every pyro hit, riser cue, and stage change happens with precision. From pre-show chaos to post-show teardown, Nick’s the one keeping the engine running behind the scenes.
Then there’s Bubba Geurts, the merch mastermind and unsung road warrior. While fans line up for shirts, vinyl, and hoodies, Bubba’s handling inventory, venue logistics, and fan interactions — all while hauling serious weight on and off the truck.
This episode is a raw look at the blue-collar grind that powers a massive arena tour. It’s loud. It’s fast. It’s real.
Welcome to the merch hustle and stage muscle of Disturbed.
