DREAM THEATER has always had strong fan support outside of the United States, and in order to bring their international fans closer to the band, they have reached out to fan sites all over the world to create translated versions of the DREAM THEATER news page. Argentina, Israel, Italy and Venezuela are the first to join the band in creating and making available these localized news pages.

While on tour recently in South America, John Petrucci heard from a number of fans about the need for an official DREAM THEATER connection. John states, "Our efforts to further unite our online international community have only just begun. We are very fortunate to have so much incredible support and devotion from fans in many different countries around the world, and we hope that more and more fan communities will participate in this ongoing endeavor. We look forward to hearing from fans interested in having the news page translated for their countries." Jordan Rudess adds, "We are excited to be working with these first four fan sites, and can't wait for others from around the world to reach out to us on Facebook."

As DREAM THEATER continues work on their next album, Live At Luna Park, a live concert captured on 2DVD, Blu-ray, Digital Video, 2DVD/3CD, Blu-ray/3CD, and a deluxe edition (2DVD/Blu-ray/3CD), will drop in May 2013. To whet the appetite of their fans, DREAM THEATER have released this trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NndiL9seZSI.

Live At Luna Park was filmed over two nights in South America, home to one of DREAM THEATER’s most ardent fanbases. The DVD was filmed after a 15-month world tour, hitting 35 countries. “This is without a doubt the closest a viewer at home will come to experiencing a live Dream Theater concert,” states guitarist and founding member John Petrucci. “Between the hi-def and 3D video, the huge audio mix and the documentary style behind the scenes footage, you are truly transported to the arena and completely immersed in the entire live experience.”
