In the wake of their triumphant headline slot at this year’s High Voltage Festival, progressive rock overlords, Dream Theater have announced their ‘A Dramatic Tour Of Events’ UK tour for early 2012.
Guitarist John Petrucci is looking forward to the run, commenting “I couldn't be more excited about our upcoming winter 2012 European tour. It was great getting our feet wet this past summer with our new drummer Mike Mangini during the open air festival season, but now it's time for the real deal! 'A Dramatic Tour Of Events' promises to be our best ever, as we'll present a broad coverage of songs from the new album along with a healthy dose of older material as well. Our newly expanded light and video show as well as our awesome opening band, Periphery will make this a truly special and memorable tour. Can't wait to see and play for all of our amazing European fans!”
Dream Theater UK Tour Dates are as follows:
February 2012
Feb 8th - Glasgow, Clyde Auditorium

Support comes from Roadrunner label mates, Periphery, who have been picking up stellar reviews for their self-titled debut album. The band are thrilled to be invited to play with their heroes, stating; "We’re so excited that Dream Theater has chosen Periphery to open their European tour in 2012! This has been a dream come true for us because we've all been huge fans of Dream Theater since we were kids! Periphery received such a great reception on our last European tour that to come back with a larger than life band like Dream Theater is a tremendous honour and we're very excited to show Dream Theater fans what we're all about." Periphery’s self titled debut album is out now!
