A big, bucket-list stage
April 22
When I read that TesseracT were going to open for Dream Theater on their UK dates I could hardly contain my excitement. This was going to be a huge event. Personally and professionally, this event was going to be extremely meaninful. I grew up with Dream Theater music in the late 00’s and am still attached to their old music. At the same time, TesseracT are hands down my favourite band and certainly represent my present and future musically. So, when I managed to obtain a press pass for the London show you can understand why I was over the moon.
The Wembley Arena was a challenging stage because of its size. It was my first time shooting in such a huge venue and was very nervous for the high stakes involved. Shooting for TesseracT and Dream Theater on the same night was a real bucket list event for me. Similarly, the guys in TesseracT were very excited to play on such a big stage because opportunities like that have not come to pass very often so far in their career. I felt very proud of them.
It was an unforgettable night.
