Dream Theater Announce “Images and Words” 25th Anniversary North American Tour

Months of promises have now been confirmed: after a successful run in Europe this past winter, Dream Theater will be bringing the 25th anniversary tour of their breakthrough album Images and Words — on which they’ll play the album start to finish, as well as other selected classics — to the States this coming fall.

Says the venerable Mr. Petruch:

“We are so psyched to bring our Images, Words & Beyond tour to North America this Fall! It’s hard to believe that it’s already been 25 years since Images was released! We’ve been having a blast playing those songs each night, and sharing memories and stories from our time in the studio back in 1992. We know that this is such an important album to so many of our fans, both old and new, so we plan on making this a really special night by playing I&W in its entirety as well as breaking out some rare material, and a few of our latest tunes, in order to make this landmark evening compete. We hope to see all of you there! Don’t miss it.”
