General onsale date is April 17th for all dates, except Boston/Chicago (4/18) and San Fran (4/19). If you’re a PT “ROABP” fanclub member, you can get tickets earlier (4/10)… but most are probably GA venues anyway… so… yeah… you do the math.
I’d kind of hope to see the PT / KX bill, but I guess I’ll settle for PT/T1G. And who the heck is Big Elf?

Bigelf are a psychedelic hard rock band from Los Angeles, CA… Mike Portnoy is taking them out on the Prog Nation tour in Europe.
Cool… good to know.
…and they SUCK!!!! Big Elf that is. Saw them in Chicago last month at Prog Nation. In the name of all that is good and holy, what the heck are they doing soiling the same stage as Dweezil and DT? Simply the worst “real” band at a “real” venue I have ever seen/heard. Truly awful. Amazingly, horribly, unfathomably bad. Can you tell I didn’t like them?
Bummer… I’m glad I got T1G. My Portland review of Porcupine Tree & T1G is at:
