As part of their world tour, the American progressive metal band, Dream Theater, will hold a concert at the Dražen Petrović Basketball Centre on February 3rd 2014. The band is scheduled to start the tour in Europe, where they will visit thirty cities in sixteen countries, and then continue on to North America. On this tour, for the first time the band will promote their latest studio album, which is named “Dream Theater” after the band.

The progressive metal band Dream Theater was founded in 1985 by John Petruci (guitar), John Myung (bass) and Mike Portnoy (drums), who initially called themselves Majesty. Although the band line-up has changed several times, all three co-founders, as well as James LaBrie (vocals) and Jordan Rudess (keyboards), worked together until 2010 when Mike Portnoy left the group. He was replaced by another excellent drummer, Mike Mangini.

Besides being famous for the technical precision of its multiply awarded musicians, Dream Theater ended last year with one of the largest world tours in history, which consisted of 110 concerts in 34 countries. They have recorded eleven albums and sold more than a million CDs and DVDs. They have announced the release of their twelfth album in September. Last year, the band received its first Grammy Award nomination for the song “On the Backs of Angels”, in the category for best hard rock/metal performance. The song was the first single from their eleventh studio album, “A Dramatic Turn of Events”, which made it to 14 top-ten charts worldwide, including the prestigious American Billboard chart.
