Looks like tour dates. I clicked on the link in yesterdays announcement of the announcement and it took me to tour dates on DTs website.

Well, there is a new event on their Facebook page showing a concert in Albany, New York on April 18, and I actually saw while browsing that a venue in Greensburg, PA already posted that Dream Theater will be there on April 26.

TicketMaster has them in Boston on the 19th of April as well. Doesn't leave room for an added show in NY, unless it's prior to the 18th.
I don't want MP playing with DT unless they were making a drummer change. If they let MM go and bring back MP, then fine, but no guest appearance please.
WELP.

This thing?



If it's the announcement of a US tour (which judging by the event and lack of an official announcement, it probably is), that would be three times that info has unintentionally leaked before an official announcement from this album cycle (The name of the album, Arhys' portrait, and this).

SquareEnix is putting on hold the release of Final Fantasy VII & Kingdom Hearts III to develop the new epic adventure RPG "The Astonishing". Like no game ever before, "The Astonishing" promises endless hours of fun while you free this nation of its lack of music!

 :lol

I was just thinking along the lines of: Bethesda Studios announces that during the past 2 years they have been collaborating with John Petrucci in making a total conversion project for Skyrim set in the world of "The Astonishing."

At this point, the sky is the limit. Anyways, I'll be patiently waiting for the Seattle dates :)

I'm guessing, if your (larger) town has a "Theatre", there's a good chance you're getting (Dream) Theater.

IF the announcement is just NA tour dates, I'll be very disappointed. No need to tease like that to announce new tour dates. Well, wait and see...

I've often seen bands say there's going to be an announcement, and then it turns out to be tour dates. I suppose to those in NA who want to go and see them live, it is something to get excited about.

Maybe not a huge surprise, but one of the dates has it as "Dream theater presents 'The Astonishing'", which would imply NA is also getting the full album.

Anyone else have a fear that it won't be good news?? Like maybe a band member is leaving? I don't know why this thought occurred to me, but it could be that Jordan is leaving the band after this tour....



God that would suck.

I don't think they would do it in this format if Jordan was leaving and the band would be with him. It is definately not related to a band member leaving. They would never do that at the start of an album cycle too

Fuck. April 19 in Boston. Not only is that our anniversary, but we will be in Disney that week. Fuck.
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

Just for kicks, looked at the ticket prices in Albany NY and man are they cheap.  26.75 - 56.75.  I tried to see how many the theater holds, but could not find.

Like someone else pointed out, it looks like they are going for the theater setting. 

Yesterday, someone posted a pic of a theater in St. Louis and it was beautiful.  I would make that drive from Nashville, Tennessee.

Looks like tour dates. I'm surprised that Jordan is going to live stream an announcement of North American tour dates. I'm still kind of thinking they might be something else to this live stream. Maybe NA tour dates and something else?

I just don't see how tour dates by themselves are worth a video live stream annnouncement.

So... Dumb question (I'm not that into FB), do you just go to the DT Facebook page and the live stream will show up?

It should. I was able to pull up their page without signing in, so you should be able to do the same.

I imagine it'll be some exterior link posted on their FB.

Jordan is jamming. Nice little improv while waiting for some people to get on to watch. It's already over 4,000 viewers.

I guess it's not surprising, but I expected something a bit more considering no one really does any live streams to announce tour dates.
