Dream Theater Undercover In The UK!
News1 min read
New York Rockers Dream Theater return to the UK for two special shows in January and March.
The first of these – at Ronnie Scotts Club in London on January 31st – will be an early evening, invite-only affair going under the banner of ‘Dream Theater Uncovered’. For this particular event (a first for the band), they are planning to put together a complete set of covers, featuring songs originally recorded by artists influential to the group’s career – given the breadth of Dream Theater’s musical taste, this includes people as diverse as Marillion, Ozzy Osbourne and Led Zeppelin.
Tickets will be distributed via the band’s UK Fan Club, plus press and radio competitions (including the new Radio One Rock Show to be hosted by ex-Iron Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson, a big DT fan), and with a number of Special Guests also scheduled to appear, the entire show will be recorded for future use.
After the Ronnie Scotts event, Dream Theater head off on a full European tour climaxing with a one-off UK appearance at the London Forum on March 15th. A support band for the show will be announced in due course, and tickets – priced at £9 – will be available from the box office and usual outlets.
Dream Theater’s second East West album ‘Awake’ was released in October ‘94, with the group’s first ever UK single ‘Lie’ following in November.
