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 THEATERnews 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."
