The Dream Theater Tour Dates & Setlists Thread (UPDATED 04/23)

[hefdaddy42]

I am breathless with anticipation.

[cyberdrummer]

Another question will be if the  North American tour will be the 'Evening With' format.   

Trust me, it's not in question.

In answer to the OP: soon.

I can't tell you much about the NA tour dates.....but what I can tell you with 100% certainty backed by a Lords of London Insurance Policy is that there will NOT be a show played in St. Louis, Missouri. You can take that to the bank.

So Chicago, Kansas City, Milwaukee.....I'll see one, or heck....maybe all three of you in 2014.

Same for Nashville.  Seems like St. Louis would be a large enough market to support a DT concert.

[Grizz]

They haven't played there since some drunken idiot fell onto someone from the balcony trying to catch a drumhead and then ran off.

Also, if they skip CT again I won't be happy. It would be even worse if they played at that shit shack called the meadows.

John Petrucci in a recent loudwire.com interview, regarding the upcoming tour:

John, you're in the midst of planning the world tour that kicks off this coming January. How is it coming so far?

Really well. Were calling it "An Evening with Dream Theater" and it will be two full sets with an intermission. Just a ton of music. Our goal is to make it the best Dream Theater live experience ever and when you enter the venue, our plan is to just take you into our world. In addition to the music, there will be a complex video and lighting component that really will create this kind of parallel universe where we live. There will be many musical surprises. The goal is always to raise the bar from the previous tour but this time I think were really going little bit crazy. I have to add to that it's been extra exciting for our drummer Mike Mangini because there's plenty of music in our back catalog that he's never played before so for him a lot of this really is going to be a new experience. But I promise you this will be unlike any other Dream Theater show you've ever seen or experienced and it's going to be very special.

MANY MUSICAL SURPRISES 

[wasteland]

MANY MUSICAL SURPRISES 

Most likely an acoustic set or the return of the Galactic Cowboys 

[Lucien]

I was thinking more along the lines of the little funny things they do in the middle of songs, twinkle twinkle little star in Endless Sacrifice, etc.

[wasteland]

Nah, that would be a bit underwhelming, if only because it wouldn't be a surprise at all! I am seriously hoping for a few of the lesser known (to the wider audiene) songs to take one or two slots somewhere in the set, to showcase the forgotten side of the Dream. You know, songs like Eve, Mike Thinks He's Dee Dee Ramone Introducing a Song Song, or Space-Dye Vest!

[GasparXR]

That interview made me even more excited for the tour! I really want to get NA tour dates and get my ticket NOW!

[cosmicwxdude]

Buddy of mine linked the news via FB this morning.  Well not really news yet but 'soon' 

[Zydar]

[King Postwhore]

I NEED TO KNOW........





Soon.

[TheGreatPretender]

I don't suppose by U.S. dates, they mean Canada too.

[cosmicwxdude]

Well it says, US not North America....but you never know.

[JayOctavarium]

I don't suppose by U.S. dates, they mean Canada too.

No. Fuck Canada

[rumborak]

I don't suppose by U.S. dates, they mean Canada too.

I think they treat Canada as "US dates where we missed an exit".

[Cable]

I don't suppose by U.S. dates, they mean Canada too.

No. Fuck Canada

Ok.

[Shadow2222]

^ Yeah, I'm really hoping we get the US Tour Dates before Christmas.

[Theme Dreater]

Can't wait for the dates! I hope i can make it to one of the shows.

[cramx3]

Hoping for a Friday/Saturday show in the NY/NJ area. I hate going to concerts during the week since I need to wake up so damn early.

Also, might as well hope for the Beacon Theater. I love that place.

[Prog Snob]

When will then be now?

[Tick]

When will then be now?

soon....

Prepare a coarse for the moon of Vega!

[Prog Snob]

[Shadow2222]

I'm eagerly awaiting this tour more than any previous ones since I've been a fan. Bring on the dates!!
