Progressive Nation 2009

Progressive Nation 2009 was a North American and European tour headlined by the progressive metal band Dream Theater. The tour's concept was created by the drummer Mike Portnoy. The first leg of the tour began on July 24, 2009 in Miami and ended on August 29, 2009 in Los Angeles.[1] The second leg began on September 23 in Helsinki, Finland and ended on October 31 in Ljublijana, Slovenia.[2] This tour was part of the Dream Theater Black Clouds & Silver Linings World Tour, which included a previous European summer tour and following legs in Oceania, South America, North America (supporting Iron Maiden) and two final shows in Japan. It is also the band’s last official tour that featured their founding member and drummer Mike Portnoy before his departure from the group in September 2010.
