Metal Assault has posted quality photos from DREAM THEATER's June 19th set opening for IRON MAIDEN on San Bernardino, CA. Check them out at this location.
Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy recently commented on the tour with Iron Maiden via a press release found on his official website:
“It is a bit of a dream come true for us. After 25 years together, at this stage in our career, there's honestly only three bands Dream Theater would consider opening for and Maiden is one of them. It is an absolute honor. Through the years, we've done many one-off shows with Maiden and they've almost all been overseas. It is very exciting to finally be doing a full tour with them and on our side of the pond no less. These are gonna be amazing shows that the fans won't want to miss. Up the f***ing irons!”
