Dream Theater - USA Parasomnia Tour Dates 2025

[Setlist Scotty]

Hey all

just FYI, for the back to back Atlanta shows, they will be very different. MP has been trying to post wherever possible that September 13 will be a Parasomnia show, and September 14 will be the make up 40th Anniversary show that was cancelled a few months ago when JL got sick.

That's a ridiculous back to back night of Dream Theater!  If I were closer to Atlanta this would be an amazing weekend

I'm thinking about doing it, Atlanta is about a 4 hour drive from me and it's on the weekend.

This will be the closest I've been for DT! Was bummed the show wasn't closer but so happy to get to see them for the third time this year.

I was WAY OFF in my venue predictions for the Parasomnia N.A. dates. I expected the L.I. shows to be 2 nights at the Paramount. I expected the NJ show to be at the Newark PAC and probably a date in AC, and the PA show to be at Wind Creek in Bethlehem! NOT EVEN CLOSE!

[Metro]

Probably gonna sit this one out. Not hyped about Parasomnia much anymore, not enough to make me wanna go to Baltimore.

Sure, I dropped $$$ for the front row Oceanside tickets.  Also got the M&G VIP for this show, why not.

Oh, also nabbed front row for Long Beach.

Looking forward to some killer Parasomnia tracks.  Hoping for some rare gems too.  Wither needs more U.S. exposure.  And would be great for a nice ballad for the Mrs.

[ProgLee]

It really sucks that they're skipping Dallas.

Amen to that dualpalmpilots! I hoped that our boys would have returned to our beloved Grand Prairie theater, but guess not. Road trip to Colorado instead (just snagged my tix).

Nice!

I'm hoping to grab a meet and greet for the long island show. I was able to grab a 7th row center ticket, but had to hold off on the meet and greet for now because dropping more than $300 on a ticket is the most I could do right now! lol

Hopefully a few weeks from now it's still available.

This is great news.  I was thinking that the Atlanta fall gig would either be a makeup for the 40th Anniversary show or the new album. In no way did I expect them to do both back to back.  Kudos to the band for taking care of their Atlanta fans.

Don't... Tempt... Me...

[dualpalmpilots]

As much as I complained about not having a date near my city, it's good that the band is hitting other markets.

As a point of comparison, here's the tour poster of Steven Wilson, same age as MP, JP and JM.

Yes, it probably won't mean that they will player larger venues, but it's not that hard to do something better, or more expensive for that matter. I know that you do not disagree, it's just that the whole "That'll do." attitude gives me the shits. It's an easy way out to just say "Oh, they're riding into the sunset and they're happy." I just think they deserve better, and the fans do too.

It's all a matter of taste.  I don't consider that Wilson poster to be anything special, certainly not better than the Dream Theater one.  I mean... do either of these artists have fans that are going to base a ticket purchase consideration on their perceived quality of tour poster? 

[WilliamMunny]

We're so back! Can't wait to snatch it up with the boys in Dream Theater again. Twice in one year! Un-fucking-believable!

Where ya been?

Bingo!

The DT artwork this cycle has been questionable.  So I think that's probably why people are continuing to harp on any new art even if it's pretty meaningless for this case.  As someone who's been skeptical, I didn't even look at the art for this because I just care about the dates so I'm in agreement that it's not really going to sell any tickets, nor likely cause someone not to go.

Not a matter of taste though, not what I mean. The DT one is sloppy and amateur. It's an execution issue, not a matter of aesthetics. I reject this "That'll do." attitude.  It does not matter to you, but I think everyone deserves better and it isn't hard to do. Times have changed, these things matter now. It'd be great for DT to attract new fans and these things matter. Maybe not in your world, but it'd be great if DT could attract younger fans and even one matters.

Yeah, I hear ya. I just get a seat in the back and stand so no ones behind me.  Worked in the last row at RCMH, I was one of only like 4 peole standing in the top balcony.  Philly I got away with it too because I bought a side seat with no one directly behind me.

I've stated many times, DT are a front row or last row band because of this. I see little joy in sitting the in the middle for a metal concert.

My whole section at RCMH stood the entire show. I'm thinking most the old farts sat in your section lol (no offence to the forums old farts ❤️)

It was the top balcony thats why

[Skeever]

None of the locations are really convenient for me. I suppose Reading PA is closest, but not an ideal week. Baltimore is a little further, but I think it's a Saturday, so that works better. And it would be cool to see DT play in arena if it sells well, so Nassau is furthest but probably the best for the experience and potential meetups. If it sells.

I'll keep an eye on tickets. If they wind up selling the bottom ring it would be cool to go.
