MIKE PORTNOY returns to DREAM THEATER! ...but what's next?

Mike Portnoy returns to Dream Theater… this is the sentence I didn’t think I would ever pronounce!
So yes, after almost 13 years apart, the legendary drummer Mike Portnoy returns to the band he co-founded together with John Petrucci and John Myung in 1985. And even more: together with Mike already Dream Theater is set to hit the studio and start the work on their sixteenth studio album, which will be the first record together with the original drummer since the 2009 Black Clouds & Silver Linings.

“I am overwhelmed with joy to be returning home and reuniting with my brothers! There is so much shared history between us all…so many memories, so much music…to think we’re coming up on 40 years since this journey began! The idea of creating new music together is so exciting and I absolutely cannot wait to hit the road and get to play live for a whole new generation of fans that weren’t ever able to see this lineup before…There’s no place like home!!” said Mike Portnoy in the official statement.
