Dream Theater

The progressive metal quintet and Grammy-winning titans, Dream Theater, has reason to be celebrating, and us with them: they’ve given us 40 years of the best progressive metal in the industry, and is also set to release a new album, "Parasomnia," in February 2025, continuing their rock-solid legacy.

Dream Theater is hitting the ground running with the Northern America leg of the 40th Anniversary Tour kicking off in Philadelphia early February 2025, canvassing all the major venues before wrapping up in New York in March 2025. And here is the good news: Dream Theater is slated to shred through their classics, fan favorites, and some new tracks from “Parasomnia” at the Arizona Federal Theatre on 18 February 2025!

Tickets are priced from only $82 and are flying faster than John Petrucci’s fingers over a fretboard, so hit that ‘get tickets’ button right now and secure yours for the night of your dreams!

It’s not just an ordinary gig.

It’s Dream Theater in concert. They are progressive metal legends, and while the words “thrilling” and “mind-blowing” come to mind, words can’t truly do them any justice.

Dream Theater in concert is far from anything ordinary.

The music is excellent, and there is an overall sense of grandiosity and spectacle. They are masters of their craft – from the tasteful songwriting to performing incredibly tight as a unit, down to every last semiquaver, from insane versatility and accuracy to dazzling strength and technicality. Guitarist John Petrucci’s solos are full of wild technicalities and lightning-fast shreds, yet tasteful and melodic. Drummer Mike Portnoy, who will be joining the band on tour for the first time since 2010, is an absolute beast behind a drumkit, raising the roof every single time.

Ordinary doesn’t exist when it comes to Dream Theater.

From the quirky intro, frantic rhythms, and crazy instrumentation of “The Alien” to the jaunty opening groove, deft key changes, and impressive instrumental sections of “Sleeping Giant," from heaviness balanced with a super-melodic chorus in “Bridges in the Sky” to the thrilling, exceptional guitar solo and keys-sections built upon melodic volume swells and gentle melodies of “Count Of Tuscany," - it is larger than life, standing head and shoulders above the rest.

Since Dream Theater released their debut album, “When Day and Dream Unite," and following the commercial success of the 1992 album, “Images and Words," they catapulted into the ‘big three’ of progressive metal, alongside Queensrÿche and Fates Warning. Their fifth album, “Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory," has been hailed by Guitar World as one of the top 100 guitar albums of all time. Their accolades include a Grammy Award and an induction into the Long Island Music Hall of Fame.

The 5,000-seat Arizona Federal Theatre is the hottest spot for top-notch entertainment in Phoenix. It’s acoustics, state-of-the-art lighting, and sound systems guarantee a sonic and visual experience that will leave you speechless. With seating spread across the main floor, club seating area, VIP suites and boxes, and balcony, there is a seat for every taste and budget.

To quote vocalist James LaBrie: “You gotta see this show!”
