Dream Theater made an announcement today that the Beijing concert at Century Theatre on May 4 is cancelled because the promoters failed to prepare the band’s visas on time. The official statement from the Dream Theater camp is below:

The Beijing show is reluctantly cancelled.

Due to circumstances beyond the control of Dream Theater we are forced to cancel the show on May 4, 2012, at the Century Theatre.

Unfortunately the local organizers of the show were not able to secure the necessary working visas in time for the Band to properly enter the country.

We at Dream Theater are truly sorry for any inconveniences.
