Band will perform landmark album in its entirety alongside classic tracks and selections from their latest release Distance Over Time

Over their 30+ year career, progressive rockers Dream Theater have redefined hard rock and heavy metal - selling more than 15 million records worldwide along the way - and on October 18, 2019, the two-time GRAMMY nominees will bring their “The Distance Over Time Tour – Celebrating 20 Years of Scenes From A Memory” to the Soundstage at Graceland. 

Since their early days performing as Majesty, the progressive metal pioneers—James LaBrie (Vocals), John Petrucci (Guitars), Jordan Rudess (Keyboards), John Myung (Bass), and Mike Mangini (Drums)— have shared a unique bond with one of the most passionate fan bases around the globe. Their chart-topping hits “Take the Time” and “Pull Me Under” served as an introduction to Dream Theater for the masses, and they remain fan-favorites today. The band has shown no signs of slowing down, as they recently released their critically acclaimed, 14th full-length album, Distance Over Time, and showcase a newfound creativity for Dream Theater while maintaining the elements that have garnered them devoted fans for more 30 years.
