Dream Theater’s Return with Mike Portnoy
This marks the band’s second appearance in Malta, following their electrifying sold-out show in 2019. What makes this performance even more special is the return of their original drummer, Mike Portnoy, who rejoined the band in 2023 after a 14-year hiatus. Known for his intricate drumming and charismatic stage presence, Portnoy’s return has rekindled the classic Dream Theater lineup, bringing a fresh energy to their live performances.
Celebrating Four Decades of Progressive Metal Excellence
Since their formation in 1985 by John Petrucci, John Myung, and Mike Portnoy while studying at Berklee College of Music, Dream Theater has redefined the boundaries of progressive metal. With their innovative compositions, technical brilliance, and emotionally charged storytelling, they’ve earned a devoted global fanbase.
Over the years, the band has released iconic albums like Images and Words, Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory, and A View from the Top of the World. In 2022, they added another milestone to their legacy by winning their first Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance with the track “The Alien” from A View from the Top of the World.
A Showcase of New and Classic Music
Fans in Malta will be treated to a mix of Dream Theater’s legendary tracks and fresh material from their latest album, Parasomnia, released in February 2025. This critically acclaimed album further pushes the boundaries of their sound, blending their signature technical precision with innovative elements.
Expect a setlist packed with fan-favorite classics, awe-inspiring instrumentals, and the kind of storytelling that only Dream Theater can deliver. With the 40th Anniversary Tour, the band promises a performance that celebrates their past while offering a glimpse into the future of progressive metal.
