Prog-metal fans, make sure to swallow your drink before you read any further. Dream Theater have announced that they're spearheading an annual, traveling prog-metal festival called Dreamsonic, and for the inaugural tour, they're hitting North America this summer with Devin Townsend and Animals as Leaders.
"We are all so incredibly excited to present Dream Theater's very own prog-metal music festival, Dreamsonic 2023," the band wrote on Instagram. "On our inaugural run this summer we will be joined by special guest Devin Townsend and Animals as Leaders. Dreamsonic promises to be a reoccurring musical event that will deliver history-making nights of amazing music for many years to come."
The tour begins June 16th in Austin, Texas, and will snake around the U.S. — and up into Canada — for the next month before concluding July 26th in Phoenix, Arizona. Tickets go on sale Friday April 14th at 10 a.m. local time, and you can get yours here.
