(April in North America and July in EU\/UK)&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em> These are the ONLY shows we will be doing in support of The Absolute Universe&nbsp;so if we can\u2019t make it to your area, it may be worth traveling to come see us and&nbsp;share these special shows with us. While we wish we could do a full proper tour, getting to play ANY shows for this album is an unexpected treat that we weren\u2019t sure would ever happen so better late than never!? ?&nbsp;<\/em>Mike Portnoy.<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>North America dates:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">April 15th \u2013 Glenside, PA &#8211;
