Dream Theater performs rarities in a changed setlist for their summer tour

The spring/summer 2025 leg of progressive metal legends Dream Theater‘s “40th Anniversary European Tour” began Tuesday night, June 3, at Logomo in Turku, Finland. Below is a fan-shot video of the performance. Many of the songs on Dream Theater‘s set list for the Turku performance had not been performed in a long time.

Our summer 2025 European tour is gonna be a great cross section of festival dates and some very special ‘Evening With’ headlining shows in some incredibly gorgeous & unique settings! (I’m personally so excited about playing the legendary venue in Pompeii where Pink Floyd filmed their film over 50 years ago…as well as the 2-night stand w different setlists at the gorgeous amphitheater in Plovdiv). Places we haven’t played yet (Greece, Turkey, Romania, Bulgaria, etc) will get a https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAQz6iemGEAvariation of the DT40 show…places we are returning to since the last EU leg (Italy, Germany, Finland, Poland etc) will get a new setlist…and the festivals will each have their own variations based on set times…and just to re-iterate, the formal ‘Parasomnia Tour’ will begin in the US in Sept and continue around the world into 2026… Mike Portnoy
