Dream Theater
Parasomnia Tour
GRAMMY®-winning, progressive music titans Dream Theater return to Clearwater for their BayCare Sound debut! To celebrate the band’s recent chart-topping 16th studio album Parasomnia, Dream Theater presents An Evening With Dream Theater that showcases what has earned the band a loyal following for four decades. An album that was fifteen years in the making, Parasomnia debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top Hard Rock Albums, featuring tracks like the opening song In The Arms Of Morpheus to the closer of The Shadow Man Incident. Beyond selling millions of records worldwide and gathering a billion-plus streams, Dream Theater have quietly evolved into progressive metal trailblazers over the course of an unprecedented journey earmarked by one unforgettable milestone after another. The career-launching Images & Words graced Rolling Stone’s “100 Greatest Metal Albums of All-Time,” while Awake claimed #1 on Guitar World’s “Superunknown: 50 Iconic Albums That Defined 1994.” In addition to emerging as Classic Rock’s “15th Greatest Concept Album,” Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory toppled a fan-voted Rolling Stone poll as the “Number One All-Time Progressive Rock Album.”
Now, Dream Theater have returned to their roots as James LaBrie [vocals], John Petrucci [guitar], John Myung [bass], and Jordan Rudess [keyboards] reunite with Mike Portnoy [drums] during their fortieth anniversary. Simultaneously, these five old friends enter a bold new era fueled by some of the most focused, formidable, and fiery music of their career. Don’t miss Dream Theatre perform their latest release as well as classics and fan favorites from their catalog in what promises to be an unforgettable evening of music!
