The band were originally scheduled to play at Allianz Ecopark Ancol in Jakarta in 2020 as part of their ‘Distance Over Time – Celebrating 20 Years Of Scenes From A Memory’ tour, but it was postponed indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dream Theater is set to begin production on their sixteenth studio album in late 2023, with guitarist John Petrucci sharing: “We’re still working on the last record. I can’t see us being back in the studio until roughly this time next year. If you kind of just look forward to next year, you see the way it’s gonna lay out, and we’ve got festivals. Before you know it, it’s August.

“There’s not gonna be any studio work done before the fall; I highly doubt it. So a new record wouldn’t be [released before] the following year,” he added.

The new record will follow their fifteenth studio album ‘A View From The Top Of The World’, which was released in 2021. Album track ‘The Alien’ would go on to win Dream Theater their first-ever Grammy in the ‘Best Metal Performance’ category at the 64th annual Grammy Awards in 2022.
