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

"will be announced as soon as they are confirmed"

[bosk1]

There's an announcement that there's going to be an announcement?

Yes.  It is a pre-announcement.



Hey, look, all I know is, when DT Marketing sends me an email saying to post something, I post it when they tell me to.  There usually isn't much more of an explanation other than the date and time to post it.  I am but a lowly minion.  A mere cog in the machine. 

[Prog Snob]

Please come to NC!

And it begins....   

[Mebert78]

Hope the dates go on sale after the holidays.  Between Christmas gifts and tax bills being due, people need to replenish their bank accounts a bit.

You run the Facebook page for DT?

[bosk1]

No. I'm talking about posting it here.

"will be announced as soon as they are confirmed"

....and once they are confirmed we will release an announcement confirming the confirmation that will allow us to announce we can release an announcement that will detail the release date in which we will announce our upcoming tour dates.

[emtee]

Hopefully the shows are well attended across the country. Profitability and success would mean they could do it again in the
future.

This is why you are angry.

Wait...what?    You are aware that they have toured many, many times before, right?

And see here I thought I was being 'funny' and it must have come off as 'angry'. It's no wonder I was nominated for most angry because generally I try to do my best to inject some humor into the mix and it must end up looking like anger. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr I'm angry man Miller Grrrrrrrrrr

Guess I'll just be that angry guy.

Maybe he emtee was speaking 'Evening With' format? If it's successful this tour then they'd just stick with it rather than have supporting acts to draw in folks?

Certainly. It's been awhile since an evening with format though. If it goes well they will feel confident about doing it again.
If not they will probably opt for an opener or two than can help fill the seats.

pleeeeeeease add some Aussie dates later      We missed out on the ADTOE tour and if we miss out this time I might need to channel my inner Yngwie and unleash the f&*$ing  fury 

Sydney and their pathetic turnouts are reducing the attractiveness of touring Australia but a few acts have figured out what to do - concentrate on Melbourne and (for wolfking) Brisbane.   Hell - Steel panther can pack in 7,500 down here no probs (and the other night packed out Myer Music Bowl on the same night as Bon Jovi had 45,000 at Docklands).

[Nick]

Soon.

[KevShmev]

10 days later, still nothing.

[Shadow2222]

10 days later, still nothing.

Unfortunately, that is how DT has been operating lately. At least we don't have to wait months like for the DVD (unless they delay the whole US tour  ).

[RoeDent]

It says something that DT's definition of "SOON" has become something of an in-joke round here.

There's nothing pathetic about Sydney's turnouts, and that has nothing to do with bands not coming here. The problem is just that we're a shithole country to tour in general, due to only having a handful of real cities (Sydney easily being one of the biggest and most important to play for any band that tours here), and a whole bunch of nothing inbetween, meaning it's a lot of travel for very few shows.

If you build it, they will come.

That's a lie. I built a stage in my backyard for DT to play, and they never came. I even posted arrow signs and everything so they knew where to go.

They were too busy being fascinated pink Lake Hiller.

I just hope they play the Beacon Theatre since I'll be living in NYC by then.

[Prog Snob]

To where in NYC are you moving?

[Perpetual Change]

Hope they play somewhere better in Philly this time. I'm not driving through the murder capitol of the world (Camden) and several areas of Philly which are probably just as bad / if not worse to see DT again.

[senecadawg2]

Yeah, the lack of news on the tour is somewhat disheartening. I hope they get a NC show in, but I'll definitely be attending at least one show regardless

[JayOctavarium]

My fingers are crossed for a show either at the Greek Theater again in Hollywood (like in '09) or for the Santa Barbara Bowl in Santa Barbara (a little smaller than the Greek but just as beautiful).

[gmillerdrake]

I can tell you one place they WON'T be playing......St. Louis, MO.
2004 was their last gig here.....since then it's been a lot of road trips and DVDS.

[TheAtliator]

Just to make sure... DT would never skip southern California, right?

[cyberdrummer]

No, not a chance they'd skip it.

[JayOctavarium]

Just to make sure... DT would never skip southern California, right?

Last tour they played here 3? 4 times? Once at the Nokia Theater (LA) and The Grove (Anahiem), and then the Grove again and then at The Gibson in Studio City


I'm just tired of driving down to / through LA. Santa Barbara would be AWESOME...
