Progressive metal band Dream Theater will release its latest live album on Nov. 28, 2025, via Inside Out Music/Sony Music. “Quarantième: Live à Paris” documents the iconic lineup of vocalist James LaBrie, guitarist John Petrucci, bassist John Myung, keyboardist Jordan Rudess and drummer Mike Portnoy’s sold-out show from Paris, France, on their 40th anniversary headline tour of Europe.
The release features a set list that spans the band’s entire career with classics such as “Metropolis Pt. 1,” “Panic Attack,” “Octavarium” and “Pull Me Under” represented among other fan favorites. The show was recorded in front of a capacity crowd at the Adidas Arena. To coincide with the announcement, the band has released the live version of “Overture 1928/Strange Déjà Vu” via all DSPs, and a video of the performance can be seen below.
“From the moment we announced our 40th anniversary tour, we knew it would be a very special event for both the band and our fans and must be captured,” Petrucci said. “With this release, our performance in Paris is presented so beautifully in both stunning audio and video and really encapsulates this momentous occasion for all to enjoy.”
Portnoy said: “We always knew this tour would be unforgettable because not only were we celebrating four decades since forming the band, but also the reunion of the band’s classic lineup. The excitement and emotions between us and our fans at each and every show were palpable and totally off the charts! The night captured here in Paris was an epic evening that we can now share with the whole world to celebrate this incredible tour.”
Presented in several formats, with artwork by longtime collaborator Hugh Syme, “Quarantième: Live à Paris” will be available as a Limited Deluxe 3CD+3Blu-ray artbook, including 68 pages of photos and artwork, as well as an additional Blu-ray of bonus material.
