Devin Townsend has revealed he is set to return to the road later this year. The Canadian prog rocker previously took a step back from touring last spring, stating he needed to be more present back at home for his loved ones.
With his new proverbial rock opera “The Moth” now completed and on course for a May 29th release date, and his home life more stable, he’s revealed the dates for a solo European/UK trek this September/October.
Townsend said of this comeback:
“After spending the past couple of years working through things at home and the logistics of it all, it now feels like time to step back out into the wild. I’m heading out at the end of the year for a run of one man performances, and I’m very excited about it. Twenty three shows in ten countries across Europe.
Expect something different. The set will change from night to night, but the idea is simple: a modern take on a one man band. Just me, the music, a stage full of weirdness, and the stories behind it all.
So what do you say? Do you want to spend some time together?”
