More about Dream Theater
Dream Theater is an American progressive metal band that was created in 1985 as Majesty. John Petrucci, John Myung, and Mike Portnoy formed the band while attending Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts. Members of the band dropped out of college to concentrate on their band, which ultimately became popular as Dream Theater.
The band currently consists of guitarist Petrucci, Myung, vocalist James LaBrie, keyboardist Jordan Rudess, and drummer Mike Mangini. Petrucci and Myung are the only founding members who have continued to perform with the band since its inception. Portnoy resigned in 2010.
The group has so far released fifteen studio albums, with 1992's Images and Words being their best-selling work. The band most recently took home their first Grammy for Best Metal Performance for the song The Alien from their 2021 album, A View from Top of the World.
Dream Theater separately performed a show on August 10 in Indonesia. They are also set to perform at the Download Festival in Japan on August 14, following which they will embark on the South American leg of their tour. However, Portnoy will join John Petrucci only for the North American leg of the tour.
