Dream Theater switches slots at Gods of Metal

From the band:

"DREAM THEATER have respectfully offered to swap positions on the bill for Italy's Gods Of Metal festival and offer our closing slot to HEAVEN AND HELL. We will both play equal set lengths, but out of our respect for the BLACK SABBATH legacy, we thought it was appropriate that HEAVEN AND HELL close the show."
