Please note that the list of singers isn\u2019t final yet and could still change.

We\u2019ll of course let you know if there are any casting changes. If your favourite singer isn\u2019t on the list, please understand that some singers simply weren\u2019t available due to scheduling conflicts.<\/p>\n

Arjen says: \u201cI\u2019m also excited to announce a new addition to the Ayreon family: Dino Jelusick! For those of you who might not know Dino yet, he\u2019s an amazing singer who has worked with bands like Whitesnake, TSO, and Michael Romeo. He is widely considered to be one of the best singers in his field at the moment, and I agree. Dino recorded a track for me on the last Star One album, but due to some contractual issues, we couldn\u2019t release it at the time. Luckily, that song will be coming out soon as a single, complete with a video! I highly recommend checking him out on YouTube. We're honoured to work with him and hope you will enjoy this super talented addition to the Ayreon family!\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n
