On April 14th, US prog-metal legends FATES WARNING will be performing in São Paulo, Brazil as very special guests to QUEENSRŸCHE.

FATES WARNING have now confirmed that Mike Portnoy (ADRENALINE MOB, TRANSATLANTIC, DREAM THEATER, AVENGED SEVENFOLD) will be once again joining the band as stand-in drummer on their show in Brazil.

The band states: “We're pleased and excited to announce that Mike Portnoy will be our special guest drummer for our April 14th show in Sao Paulo, Brazil. We had a great time playing with Mike back in 2005 at the Headway festival in Holland and we're happy that he's able to help us out again.

"We'd also like to make it clear that Bobby Jarzombek is still the drummer for Fates and will be with us for our European shows in March as well as on the new record we're currently working on. Unfortunately, Bobby committed to another gig on the same day (ironically, in the same city) before this show was planned."

FATES WARNING are set to play in Sofia, Bulgaria on March 22. The gig at the *MIXTAPE 5* club will be on the occasion of radio Tangra Mega Rock SIXTH Anniversary bash.
