What in the world is Queensryche doing on the bill for the D.C. show? I thought Dream Theater had a huge beef with them as a result of the tour they did together in 2003.

FINALLY DREAM THEATER WILL COME TO NC!!!!
Asheville is cool, but I am hoping for something maybe in Charlotte or Winston-Salem/Greensboro as far as driving distance. They have 2 open dates after Asheville so who knows. Grady Cole in Charlotte would work or LJVMC Annex in Winston or War Memorial in Greensboro also would be nice.

I will be going just to see PoS... very glad they're making a stop in Atlanta.
And yes, color me surprised about the Queensrÿche guest appearance as well.

No Detroit date yet, it's probably just as well since the lineup is not all that appealing (except for DT of course.) I would've paid a bunch of money to see one band I love and three I either don't know or can't stand (POS).
Sorry guys but it's time for me to vent a little. I wish DT would go back to the Evening With Dream Theater 3 hour shows. There are 2 bands that when I go to see them I really don't want an undercard, just the main event - DT and Metallica. I understand there is a financial motivation to having additional bands, but isn't this tour going to bring in mostly DT fans.
Just as an example, DT usually plays the State Theater in Detroit, last year's Prog Nation had just as many people as an evening with DT show. So it doesn't appear that DT benefited from having a diverse bands such as Opeth and Between the Buried and Me play with them. I've always wondered why such diverse bands are put together in a line-up. The majority of people (this board not included) will not pay the money to see a band they like perform a 30 minute set, they only go to the show if they like the headliner. So wouldn't it make more sense to include bands that have more of a crossover appeal for DT fans such as Sym X, Pagan's Mind, Circus Maximus, Dreamscape, Evergrey, or Vanden Plas. It seems like everyone would benefit more from this. Anyway...just my two cents

Iced Guardian was taken:)
Even though its 30 minute sets for the other bands I do think fans would go see them. Especially since such bands usually do not get such an extensive tour. For example, last year I went to see pognation mostly for 3 (Opeth come to south florida pretty regularly, and DT has a dvd coming out almost every release these days) and this year I want to see prognation again for beardfish and Pain of Salvation. Yeah the sets are really short but that's the only way I get to see them come to my town...
I do this regularly, but then again I am not renowned for my sense of financial responsibility. I hear you though. I think they could alternate tour types - a package followed by an evening-with, etc.

Or make it a two day thing and have the support bands play one night (with longer sets and maybe one more band) and have an evening with DT the next night.
New dates added, as well as a change in plans for me. I'll be at the Vegas show.
