Dream Theater at Wacken Open Air 2015

Dream Theater is an American progressive metal and progressive rock band formed in 1985. The band is well known for the technical proficiency of its instrumentalists, who have won many awards from music instruction magazines. Dream Theater has sold over two million albums in the United States alone and over ten million albums around the world. Sharing stages with musical titans Deep Purple, Iron Maiden, Porcupine Tree, Megadeth and Emerson, Lake & Palmer (to name a few) has contributed to the rightful perception of Dream Theater as one of rock’s greatest live acts. Petrucci and Myung have known each other since before they were in high school. They assembled what would become one of the world’s most impressive musical collectives together with fellow Berklee College of Music student Mike Portnoy.
