Frak The Dramatic Turn of Events

Metal giant's Dream Theater have decided not only to add Periphery to a few of their North American tour dates (aka New York and Philly), but decided to bring them on their entire European leg of their 2011/2012 world tour!

(Periphery circa 2011.  Now minus Alex Bois though)


(Periphery - Jetpacks Was Yes!)

"To say that the chance for Periphery to open for Dream Theater is a dream come true would be a gross understatement. Dream Theater has been one of my favorite bands for about as long as I can remember. I started taking guitar seriously and bought my first seven-string because of John Petrucci. If it weren't for Dream Theater, Periphery simply would not exist. I can't express in words just how excited we are for the opportunity to share the stage with them." -Misha Mansoor
