Dream Theater have confirmed a North American tour for 2016, to feature performances of The Astonishing in full.
The run begins on April 14, following a series of theatre appointments across Europe, starting with the debut of their 13th album in London on February 18 and 19.
The follow-up to 2013’s self-titled work is released on January 29. The band recently described it as “a sonic story that is our most ambitious creative work to date.” They continue to reveal elements of the concept via their website.
