Devin Townsend: PowerNerd Tour!

Queen Elizabeth Theatre

Dreamsonic Tour 2023

Dream Theater

<p>Doors 6:00 Show 7:00 PM<br /><br /></p>
<p><strong>DreamSonic 2023</strong>&nbsp;is&nbsp;this summer&rsquo;s ultimate prog-metal music festival featuring Dream Theater plus special guests, Devin Townsend and Animals As Leaders.'<br /><br /></p>
<p><strong>Dream Theater</strong><br />Even after hundreds of shows, 15 million records sold, three GRAMMY&reg; Award nominations including one GRAMMY&reg; Award win for Best Metal Performance in 2022, and almost four decades together, Dream Theater continue to look ahead. Their collective gaze never wavers from the future. Instead, the progressive metal trailblazers &mdash;James LaBrie (Vocals), John Petrucci (Guitars), Jordan Rudess (Keyboards), John Myung (Bass), and Mike Mangini (Drums)&mdash;consistently explore uncharted territory with the same spirit of sonic adventurousness.</p>

<div><strong>Devin Townsend<br /></strong>After a few exceptionally long years full of personal change and near manic levels of creative activity, Canadian musician Devin Townsend releases his follow-up to 2019&rsquo;s well-received &lsquo;Empath&rsquo; in the form of his new release: &lsquo;LIGHTWORK&rsquo;<br /><br />Assembled from a barrage of material written during the pandemic, &lsquo;LIGHTWORK&rsquo; (and its companion album of B-sides and demos; &rsquo;Nightwork&rsquo;) represents Devin at this stage of his life, post-pandemic, and his reflections on what he (and many of us) all gone through.</div>

<div><strong>Animals as Leaders<br /></strong>&ldquo;As satisfying in their visceral kick as they are in dazzling displays of dexterity.&rdquo; &ndash; Rolling Stone<br /><br />It might sound strange to associate &ldquo;storytelling&rdquo; with instrumental music. But ANIMALS AS LEADERS jettisoned the rules, limitations, and boundaries of conventional rock music from the start.<br /><br />Armed with palette-expanding eight-string guitars, rich synths, and pummeling percussive grooves, the trio is beloved by metalheads, aspiring virtuosos, jazz fanatics, and casual listeners alike. As Pitchfork observed, &ldquo;Animals As Leaders have walked the tightrope between sheer technical virtuosity and actual emotional resonance.&rdquo; Even without vocals, this is intimate, myth-making music.</div>
