International Band Of The Year

Dream Theater

John Petrucci: “We’re a band from America, where prog wasn’t really taken seriously, so to get this recognition in this arena is amazing for us. I met Nick Mason!”

Jordan Rudess: “I met Tony Banks for the first time! In a room like this, with all these heroes, it really means something. Progressive rock is my favourite genre, and it opened up my life. I was going to be a classical pianist until I discovered prog, and the road changed.”
