Dream Theater have announced a 2024-2025 40th anniversary tour, kicking off with a UK/European leg this fall.
The outing — presented as “An Evening with Dream Theater” — will mark the first time in 14 years since the prog-metal legends have toured with original drummer Mike Portnoy, who returned to the band back in October.
Dates for the fall leg kick off October 20th in London and run through November 24th in Amsterdam, hitting cities in numerous European countries along the way. Tickets are available here.
Commented Dream Theater in a press statement: “This tour is going to be incredibly special for all of us! Each show will surely be filled with anticipation and a variety of emotions. We can’t wait to step on stage together once again and begin this historic celebration of 40 years with everyone this Fall. This is just the beginning, and we will have plenty of more exciting Dream Theater news to share in the coming months.”
Dream Theater also recently revealed that they have hit the studio to begin work on their 16th studio album and first new material since Portnoy’s return. “DT16 is officially underway!” remarked the band on social media.
