Dream Theater postpones European dates in 2027-2028

Author Benedetta Baldin - 9.10.2025

Progressive metal giants Dream Theater have made an announcement that they will not be performing in Europe during the rest of this year and 2026. You can read the full statement below.

ATTENTION all EU/UK DT fans

We know we promised we’d be back in 2026 with our full Parasomnia show, but sadly sometimes plans change… after much discussion, after 2 European legs on our 40th Anniversary Tour in 2024 and 2025 (as well as EU tours the previous two years in 2022 & 2023 as well), we’ve made the hard decision to skip a return to EU/UK in 2026.

We are currently on the final 3 weeks of our US Parasomnia/ACOS Tour, so there’s still time to come on over to the States to catch this show if you are so inclined… it really is an amazing show! And if we can’t bring it over to you, we at least wanted to give the heads up so you’d have the option of coming to us to catch it.

We look forward to returning to EU/UK when we begin our next tour cycle in either 2027 or 2028!

Dream Theater is currently on tour in the United States continuing their “An Evening With Dream Theater” run that will celebrate the band’s recent chart-topping 16th studio album, “Parasomnia”. Dream Theater will be performing their latest album in its entirety, as well as performing the entire 7-movement masterpiece “A Change of Seasons” for the first time since Mike Portnoy’s return as well as other classics and fan favorites from their catalog. The tour is scheduled for 30 cities across the United States, kicked off September 5th in Reading, PA and runs through October 25th where it wraps in Long Island, NY.  The tour promises to be an unforgettable evening of music.
