Mike Portnoy To Play Dream Theater's Twelve-Step Suite At Festival

(Prog) Mike Portnoy has confirmed he'll perform Dream Theater's Twelve-Step Suite at next year's ProgPower USA. The two-day event in Atlanta, Georgia, on September 8-9, will see the drummer perform the material he wrote and recorded with his former band in full under the Mike Portnoy's Shattered Fortress banner.

Portnoy says: "I'm so excited to make my ProgPower debut in 2017. Between 2001 and 2009 I wrote five very personal interconnecting songs with Dream Theater and I never got to play them live� until now.

"I'm going to be playing this with an incredible band of some of the best musicians in prog today. We've got a lot of cool stuff in store and I can't wait to be doing this exclusively at ProgPower 2017. See you there." Read more here.
