Following a successful 40th Anniversary North American tour earlier this year, progressive music titans Dream Theater have released a new trailer to promote their upcoming “Parasomnia” U.S. tour this fall. The video underscores the band’s excitement for these dates, which will heavily feature their recently released 16th studio album, Parasomnia, performed in its entirety.
The Grammy-winning quintet took to social media to share the trailer, announcing: “USA! We are back this fall with the Parasomnia tour. Playing the new album in its entirety plus A Change Of Seasons, as well as other fan favorites. Tickets are on sale now.” This confirms that fans can expect an extensive “Evening With Dream Theater” format, promising a deep dive into both their latest critically acclaimed work and cherished classics.
The “Parasomnia” tour is set to span 30 cities across the United States, kicking off on September 5th in Reading, PA, and concluding on October 25th in Long Island, NY. Key stops include Orlando, FL; Detroit, MI; Kansas City, MO; and Providence, RI, among others. The band’s official website provides comprehensive information on tickets and VIP packages for all dates.
Released on February 7, 2025, via Inside Out Music/Sony Music, Parasomnia marks a significant addition to Dream Theater‘s four-decade-long career. The album, which was fifteen years in the making, has been well-received, debuting at #1 on the Billboard Top Hard Rock Albums, Hard Music Albums, and Current Rock Albums charts, selling over 18,000 combined units in its first week. Clocking in at 71 minutes, Parasomnia — from its opening track “In The Arms Of Morpheus” to the closer “The Shadow Man Incident” — showcases the intricate songwriting and instrumental prowess that has cultivated Dream Theater‘s dedicated global following. The album’s strong chart performance for a progressive metal band, including a #41 debut on the Billboard 200, further solidifies their enduring popularity.
