DREAM THEATER return, stronger than ever, with their most powerful album yet, titled A Dramatic Turn Of Events, featuring 'On The Backs Of Angels'. The much-anticipated platter, which marks new drummer Mike Mangini's recorded debut, will be released via Roadrunner Records on September 13th and will be supported by an initial string of North American dates with TRIVIUM in tow.

"We are all very pumped about the release of A Dramatic Turn of Events this September, as well as the world tour we'll embark upon in support of the album," said guitarist John Petrucci. "Our first leg will bring us throughout North America where we'll showcase songs from the new album along with tons of fan favorites and a brand new tour production unlike any other that we've done before. We're equally excited to have our friends in Trivium join us. It's sure to be an incredible tour. We're looking forward to seeing all of our friends on the road this fall!"
