Roy Orbison and Buddy Holly will be back onstage – as holograms, that is.

Following last year's "In Dreams: Roy Orbison in Concert," which played the Fox Theatre, BASE Hologram is sending the two rock legends on the road.

The "Rock 'N' Roll Dream Tour" will play Atlanta Symphony Hall at 8 p.m. Nov. 8. Tickets, priced at $39.50-$79.50, will go on sale at 10 a.m. June 21 via www.ticketmaster.com and the Woodruff Arts Center box office.

During the show, the holograms will be accompanied by a live band and back-up singers, as well as remastered audio during the multi-media holographic performance. The “Dream Tour” will be directed by Eric Schaeffer, who also helmed the Orbison “In Dreams” event.
