With the worldwide excitement around the recently completed European tour, GRAMMY®-winning, progressive music titans Dream Theater have announced their 40th Anniversary Tour 2026 leg for Australia. The tour will be An Evening With Dream Theater and will be the first tour of Australia since drummer Mike Portnoy's return to the lineup, joining vocalist James LaBrie, bassist John Myung, guitarist John Petrucci, and keyboardist Jordan Rudess.Simultaneously, these five old friends enter a bold new era fuelled by some of the most focused, formidable, and fiery music of their career. They're harnessing the memories of the past and the promise of the future in order to make the most of the present. Ultimately, the group's sixteenth full-length album, Parasomnia [Inside Out Music/Sony Music], represents both where they came from and where they're going as not only bandmates, but as brothers. HEAVY spent some time with Rudess to find out more.In the interview, we spoke about the band's upcoming Australian tour in February 2026, marking their first tour with Mike Portnoy on drums in 15 years. Jordan highlighted Portnoy's significant contributions to the band's sound and described how his return has enhanced their live performances with his unique skills as a drummer and creative director. The tour will kick off in Adelaide on February 10 and conclude in Brisbane on February 15th, following a year-long world tour.Jordan discussed joining Dream Theater after playing with John and Mike in Liquid Tension Experiment, initially declining the offer before later accepting it. He described the transition as a significant life change, noting the differences between Liquid Tension's open creative style and Dream Theater's structured approach, as well as the band's international fan base and media presence. He discussed the challenges of joining Dream Theater, a band known for its distinct sound and brand identity. He acknowledged that while the band is not strictly limited to three-chord rock, there is an expectation to remain true to the established style that fans appreciate. Jordan noted that while the band has evolved over time, there is a balance between innovation and respecting the band's heritage.Jordan explained that Dream Theater's appeal lies in their ability to combine technical virtuosity with emotional depth, creating music that appeals both to serious musicians and general audiences. He noted that the band's shows often feature accessible melodies that engage fans, as demonstrated by their experiences performing in Italy where audiences sing along and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Interview by Angela CroudaceAfter years of anticipation, Born of Osiris are finally set to return to Australia this coming March and for drummer Cameron Losch, the excitement is doubled. While the band last toured the country six years ago, Cameron himself hasn't performed on Australian soil for roughly a decade due to an injury during their previous run. “I am just so excited. It's been way too long,” he says, reflecting on how much he loved every visit in the past.Some of his clearest memories include being pranked about “drop bears” moments after landing, and wandering through bushland stunned by wild kangaroos an experience far removed from his Midwest home. This time, he's hoping for more of those uniquely Australian moments, plus a chance to reconnect with fans face-to-face, something he's grown to treasure deeply on recent tours.Australia will also be among the first to witness a major milestone: the 15-year anniversary celebration of The Discovery. The band is performing eight tracks from the beloved album, reworked with fresh flair. Cameron promises surprises, intensity, and some of the most challenging drumming of his career.Sharing the bill with the crushing Signs of the Swarm, Born of Osiris' March run is shaping up to be an unmissable blend of nostalgia, evolution, and explosive energy. Australia, get ready, they're coming back stronger than ever.BORN OF OSIRIS and SIGNS OF THE SWARM 2026 Australian Tour DatesWednesday 18th March ADELAIDE, Lion Arts FactoryThursday 19th March MELBOURNE, Max WattsFriday 20th March BRISBANE, Brightside OutdoorsSaturday 21st March SYDNEY, Manning BarTickets From: https://thephoenix.au/born-of-osiris-2026/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

By Angela CroudaceWith their ninth studio album Another Miracle landing on November 14, Of Mice & Men are stepping boldly into their next era—one defined by emotional depth, creative freedom, and an unshakeable bond with their fans. Drummer Valentino Arteaga speaks about the record with a mix of pride and awe, describing it as a “journey” built on layered soundscapes, soaring melodies, and crushing heaviness. It's an album meant to be absorbed front to back, not just thrown on a playlist.Self-produced and richly textured, Another Miracle reflects a band continually pushing their own boundaries. Valentino compares its intricate sonic layers to “ten wedding cakes stacked on top of each other,” each one representing experimentation, growth, and the group's ever-expanding musical vocabulary. Songs were crafted during a period of major life changes, including frontman Aaron Pauley discovering he was about to become a father, which brought a new emotional dimension to the writing.Valentino's current favourite track, Troubled Water, mirrors the album's dynamic energy with groove-driven drumming and bold performances. Yet he insists each song offers something different: “With Of Mice & Men, there's something for everybody.”Despite their evolution, one thing remains firmly intact; their connection to fans. Community is at the heart of their legacy, and it's something the band is determined to honour. “When you come to an Of Mice & Men show, you're there with family,” Valentino says. That spirit will follow them to Australia in May 2026, where they'll tour with genre-blurring heavyweights Crystal Lake for what promises to be an explosive run of shows.With Another Miracle, Of Mice & Men aren't just reinventing their sound, they're reaffirming why their music continues to resonate so deeply after 16 years: honesty, passion, and a commitment to constant elevation.OF MICE & MEN + CRYSTAL LAKE May 2026 Australian Tour DatesTuesday 5th May - PERTH, Magnet HouseThursday 7th May - ADELAIDE, Lion Arts FactoryFriday 8th May - MELBOURNE, 170 RussellSaturday 9th May - SYDNEY, Manning BarSunday 10th May - BRISBANE, The TriffidTickets: Pre-Sale: Friday October 31st @ 1:00pm LocalGeneral Public On Sale: Monday November 3rd @ 9:00am LocalFrom: https://thephoenix.au/of-mice-and-men-2026-2/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.
