Dream Theater turns 40 and is heading for a big tour to celebrate the anniversary, the European days of which will be published today. The An Evening With Dream Theater 40th Anniversary Tour also arrives in Finland, where the band will be seen at Espoo’s Metro Areena on November 6.

The tour starting in October is meaningful for the band in many ways, and a special reason for joy is Dream Theater traveling again in the lineup from 14 years ago, with drummer Mike Portnoy returning to the band’s ranks alongside James LaBrie, John Myung, John Petrucci and Jordan Rudess. Portnoy and the rest of the band parted ways after the Black Clouds & Silver Linings album released in 2009, so today’s tour news has been long awaited.

Dream Theater, which has won countless awards in its career and has also been awarded a Grammy, says that the upcoming nights will include the band’s classics over the years, but also the band’s own favorites, so it will be an unforgettable evening.

“This tour is going to be incredibly special for all of us. Each show is sure to be full of anticipation and different emotions. We can’t wait to get on stage together again and start celebrating our historic 40-year career with everyone this fall. And this is just the beginning, coming up there’s a lot of exciting news in the coming months,” the band says.

Dream Theater, who have sold more than 15 million albums during their career so far, have recently been enjoying themselves in their own DTHQ studio, where the band, working again in the classic line-up, is working on their 16th studio album in a row. More information about the upcoming release will be available in the near future.
