MP 2010 Tour Dates - Master List (Updated 8/31/10)

 
As 2010 is shaping up to be one of my busiest years in quite some time, I've compiled all of the dates here in one place, for easy one-stop shopping........
 
An interesting note (or should I say an INSANE one?) is at the end of July, I am going to be playing live with 3 different bands in 3 different countries in the course of less than a week!!
 
(The Dream Theater/Iron Maiden tour ends on July 20th in Washington DC, I then have a Transatlantic gig at the High Voltage Festival in London on July 24th and then I am playing with Avenged Sevenfold the very next night in Montreal on July 25th....and on top of that, I am to be rehearsing with A7X in LA on July 21st and 22nd in between the DT & TA shows...)  

Just call me the Phil Collins of metal!  
(anybody have a Conchord I can borrow???)

Quite astonishing really...and even moreso the amount of material your brain has had to absorb. It wasn't that long ago that you even knew of
A7X and now you will be playing their material live. Counting all the DT material, TA material and numerous covers, it is mind baffling how much
has to be memorized. Very few people could pull that off.

Christ on a bike.  Wonder how long the A7X shows will be?

There's a possibility of what... 100+ shows with 4 bands? You are one insane mofo, Mike.

OCT/NOV/DEC - Further dates with A7X??

 
 
 
 
 

 
Somebody had some free time yesterday!
 
Man, you are working like CRAZY (not to mention...raking it in$$$$$)
 
Good for you dude!

now that we take a closer look...man, you are a workoholic!
yet, you forgot to inlcude the dates in Mexico, last march.

Carpe Diem !

The most insane-workaholic thing is not the busy schedule itself (wich is crazy btw) but it's that he spent a day off compiling this list!
Truly an inspiration sir, but get some friggin rest for christ sake!

OCT/NOV/DEC - Further dates with A7X??

 
 

OMG, more A7X dates.... Europe Please!

Holy fuck. Tell the other DT guys to release an acoustic album without drums.  You'll need a break after this.

I'm curious as to what kind of investment is going into rock juice this year...

Maybe the A7X touring will lead to an endorsement deal with Rockstar

I guess after 2010 all the Rock Juice supply will be gone.

Well, this really elevates "Constant Motion" to a whole new level. Man, you'll better take a well deserved break in 2011.

In the other hand, no MP for Puerto Rico in 2010, I hope i can see you here 2011... PLEASE (after the well deserved break, of course!).

With all due respect MP, you're fuckin nuts!!!!

I'm in my early 40's as well, and I piss & moan about back pain and popping joints just waking up after playing a softball game the night before!! I can't even fathom a touring schedule like this at this age (with the jetlag, hotel checkin & out, trying to memorize all this music, sneakin in gettin laid once in a while, etc).

This is why you make the big bucks!! I honestly wish you the best and you're a fuckin machine, dude!!

The Starbucks investments are also pretty promising, especially with all the jetlags MP will be encountering with this crazy tour schedule!! Please Mike, don't forget to get some well deserved rest and family time - I mean it.

Maybe Mike doesn't know this, but is there a possible Atlanta, GA date for A7X at (possibly) the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre between Sept. 4th and 10th?

Well, at least when flying from London to Montreal he'll be gaining  back all that travel time in Jet lag.

It's been said before, but I will say it again, Mike Portnoy is a MACHINE! It's unreal!

One thing on the downside though, no Atlanta, GA dates on any of those tours. I know Birmingham is close but....ah, oh well. :)

Still love ya Mike!

maybe a silly question, but can Mike drink energy drinks?

YES BUFFALO! Town Ballroom is a good venue too, pretty small and intimate and it's easy to see the stage from pretty much anywhere. I saw Trivium there last year, and Porcupine Tree there last week. I'm definitely gonna be there.

Cheers, see you all there. DT twice in 3 days

MP three times in Montreal for 2010...we are lucky. Will it become a love story like Peter Gabriel and Montreal?  All I know is I'm enjoying it....kind of catching up for all the years it took DT to come back in Montreal after the Images & Words tour.

OCT/NOV/DEC - Further dates with A7X??

Does that mean touring with A7X in Europe?
Man, that list is just beyond insane!

 
  
 
 

phew..... WOW

must've been hungry when I chose my profile name

After viewing the dates and seeing all of the different states/countries etc. that MP travels to, I got to wondering, how the heck does MP (and other musicians for that matter) file taxes?
All those states, international shows and so on, that has to be a nightmare. Or is that something RoadRunner takes care of? It seems very scary to undertake.

maybe a silly question, but can Mike drink energy drinks?

He drinks rock juice! 

It's a real shame that I'm saving my money and can't catch these shows here in NY, at least I saw HAIL!

9.17.07 || Reaper || Blood Obsession

Hey Mike, Do you need a personal assistant? 

I've counted 96 shows in MP's list + Bufalo...... It is crazy....

Wait. Mike! According to your show-list I suppouse we should not wait ''Progressive Nation 2010'', is it???

YEAH!!!!!)

Haha I've had a few of those experiences like the London/Montreal trip.  That flight isn't THAT long.  It's 5-6 hours with a 5 hour time difference.  

Mike, you are the most hard working dedicated musician on the planet - hands down!!

This is not normal though!...You're gonna end up in one of those super-hero movies soon - I dunno, did you have an oddly shaped bass drum when you were younger that bit you and has given you super human powers?!

But, take it easy Mike, I know you are a machine, but machines also need oil to work properly - keep healthy and take care of your body (especially with the strain you will be putting your muscles through).

This is my new signature. Enjoy.

OCT/NOV/DEC - Further dates with A7X??

Does that mean touring with A7X in Europe?
Man, that list is just beyond insane!

The list is beyond insane already, but  I wish for a Europe tour with A7X and especially in Denmark!
 
You are amazing, Mike

4 - 8 - 15 - 16 - 23 - 42 - Are you lost??

Wow..
Respect to you Mike!

Mon July 5th - Buffalo, NY - Town Ballroom
With Special Guests Z02

Thank you so much, Mike! I was planning to go to the show with DT and Maiden in Toronto, but there weren't any good seats available by the time I got to buy the tickets, plus I had to deal with the cancellation of the Between the Buried and Me concert in Rochester as well, so I was really bummed. Now I can see you guys in a month or so without having to go far at all! I can't wait!

cue Track 6 of Octavarium.

Stunning list. I can't believe how much your going to play this year. It is really incredible.
Love the fact that you're going to be so very much on the top of your game after all those shows.

Seriously, you see that list and say "where are Europe's dates"?

That's pretty rude, man.

It looks like the Cleveland date for Avenged Sevenfold has moved to Columbus : http://www.rockstaruproar.com/tour-dates

yes, I just bought my tickets today, woooo! I am excited for the change, since not only is it closer, but the LC is better than the parking lot with a tent that is Time Warner Cable Amphitheater...

Well, at least when flying from London to Montreal he'll be gaining  back all that travel time in Jet lag.

Exactly. The miracle of the timezones. But still insane!

we will fly to the empire of seagulls!

There are maybe all other places but where are all scandinavian tour dates??

Yo mike, I'll have the Conchord 'liberated' from the air museum in a couple of days. Much love and support for you and the lads (in all related groups) during the touring season.

Unlike the rest, I'm actually this much of a jerk in real life.
