Grammy-nominated progressive metal titans DREAM THEATER have announced the first leg of their European tour which marks the first self-titled release in the band's nearly three-decade career.
The upcoming tour will include dates at O2 Apollo Manchester and Wembley Arena in February 2014.
In 2012 the band received its first-ever Grammy nomination for “On The Backs Of Angels” in the Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance category. The song was the first single from their eleventh studio album A Dramatic Turn Of Events (released September 13, 2011 on Roadrunner Records), which had fourteen top 10 debuts around the world (including the U.S., where it entered at #8 on the Billboard Top 200 album chart).
In 2012, DREAM THEATER wrapped up a massive worldwide, headline tour in support of 'A Dramatic Turn of Event's and will release a new album in September 2013. To date, the legendary progressive metal masters have sold in excess of ten million records and DVDs worldwide.
