On this day, 20 November 1993, American progressive metal band Dream Theater played Cardiff’s St David’s Hall on their Music In Progress Tour. Support was provided by Damn The Machine.
Formed in 1985 under the name Majesty by John Petrucci, John Myung and Mike Portnoy — all natives of Long Island, New York — while they attended Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts. They subsequently dropped out of their studies to concentrate further on the band that would eventually become Dream Theater. Their current lineup consists of Petrucci, Myung, Portnoy, vocalist James LaBrie, and keyboardist Jordan Rudess.
Over the course of various lineup changes, Petrucci and Myung have been the only two constant members. Portnoy remained with the band until 2010, when he was replaced by Mike Mangini after deciding to leave to pursue other musical endeavors before rejoining Dream Theater in October 2023.
