Dream Theater have officially relaunched their Lost Not Forgotten Archives series with the announcement of Live In Tokyo, 2010, set for release on March 13, 2026.
Recorded during the band’s appearance at Summer Sonic Festival in Tokyo, the album captures a historically significant moment in Dream Theater’s legacy. The performance would ultimately become Mike Portnoy’s final show with the band before his return in 2023, making this release far more than a standard live document.
Featuring James LaBrie, John Petrucci, John Myung, Jordan Rudess and Mike Portnoy, Live In Tokyo, 2010 showcases the band delivering a powerful six-song set drawn from different eras of their catalog. With extended compositions, technical precision and emotional weight, the performance stands as a time capsule of Dream Theater at the end of one chapter and unknowingly on the edge of another.
The release highlights long-form classics such as A Nightmare To Remember and The Count Of Tuscany, alongside fan favorites like Pull Me Under and Metropolis, all captured with the intensity of a festival-stage performance.

Beyond its musical value, Live In Tokyo, 2010 documents the closing of an era. In hindsight, the show represents the last moment of the classic lineup before Portnoy’s departure, and now exists as an essential archival release following his return during the band’s 40th anniversary era.
As Dream Theater continue forward with renewed momentum, the Lost Not Forgotten Archives series once again proves its importance in preserving key moments from the band’s vast history.
