European tour cancelation announcement

Attention all EU/UK DT fans

We know we promised we’d be back in 2026 with our full Parasomnia show, but sadly sometimes plans change... after much discussion, after 2 European legs on our 40th Anniversary Tour in 2024 and 2025 (as well as EU tours the previous two years in 2022 & 2023 as well), we’ve made the hard decision to skip a return to EU/UK in 2026.

We are currently on the final 3 weeks of our US Parasomnia/ACOS Tour, so there’s still time to come on over to the States to catch this show if you are so inclined... it really is an amazing show! And if we can’t bring it over to you, we at least wanted to give the heads up so you’d have the option of coming to us to catch it.

We look forward to returning to EU/UK when we begin our next tour cycle in either 2027 or 2028!

Post from Mike Portnoy in response:

Seeing alot of concern and speculation...for the record:

There’s absolutely no cause for alarm whatsoever‼️

Basically, it was a hard decision...but “the powers that be” decided a 3rd run through EU would be overkill after going there 4 years in a row...and we felt it very important to be transparent w the fans that were promised/expecting a return in the spring...

All is 100% awesome in the band and camp...nothing to be concerned about....honestly, the past year has been the biggest and best DT tour ever!! We will still do our Asia/Oz tour Jan thru March...and there may still a little something after that as well...😉

PS - The “suggestion” of pointing out the possibility of still catching a US show was merely made out of offering a courtesy heads up for those inclined to still try to catch a show (rather than finding out we're not gonna bring the show to EU and it's too late to catch it anywhere else)...obviously we know it's expensive and not an option for alot of people...just trying to point out the option for those inclined
