Devin Townsend Discusses Solo Tour

Legendary metal mastermind Devin Townsend has just released details in regards to his first ever solo tour. The tour will include over 15 years of Devin Townsend material ranging from Strapping Young Lad, Ziltoid and some songs from his more obscure releases.

Devin Townsend commented by saying:
"Sitting here at the airport after months of preparation for the European festivals, getting this material ready to be heard the way it’s meant to be heard, has been a pretty mean task.
Last night’s epic rehearsal was one of those moments when you realize the work put into making it right results in an awesome sound. I have been given the opportunity now to bring this music to North America in my first-ever solo headlining tour. It’s not a huge tour, but I really would appreciate seeing some of the familiar faces and hopefully some new ones as well.

It’s cheesy to announce your touring plans as ‘the biggest or best’ of anything, but I love this music, we’ve worked really hard to get it right. If you’re one of the folks that dig it, then this should be a great, heavy and fun time that sounds the way it should. I’m honored to be able to play for you after all these years. There’s a ton of great tours coming up, and here is my contribution."
