Devin Townsend Announces First Ever Solo Headlining Tour
One of metal’s most intriguing, ominous and immensely talented figures, the mighty Devin Townsend, is extremely excited to announce that for the first time in his solo career he will be embarking on a headlining tour. This will be a special evening exploring a 15 year musical journey with Townsend performing songs spanning his entire vast catalog. Supporting acts will be announced soon along with East Coast shows, but see below or visit the Tour Dates page to view the initial headlining tour itinerary.
Special VIP Packages and Presale Tickets will be available for the tour. Please visit https://tixx1.artistarena.com/devintownsend for more information.
Addicted was released in Nov. 2009 and has become his fastest selling solo record in his career. Townsend is currently working on two new albums for 2011. The new, mind-blowing offering, Addicted, was met with worldwide critical praise and scored very impressive first week numbers debuting at #168 on the Billboard Top 200 chart and #2 on the Billboard Heatseakers chart.
Townsend further states: “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. Rock the fuck out, stay positive.”

I used to live near the SF Bay Area, and used to see tons of show's at Slim's. Just another reason to be pissed at myself for leaving. Grrrrrr!

Ah, just the west coast? Dev, you think you can maybe nab a show or two in Denver or Kansas City? Me and three of my friends will definitely be there, and even if we're the only ones there, we'll still be the loudest crowd you guys jam in front of during the tour

Hopefully he'll use the west coast shows to test the waters and see just how much the US loves him, then he'll say: "Damn, what a killer turn-out! I guess we should add another month of shows in the US...most of which being in the OH-PA region."

Im SO hopping for him and the boys to come to Dallas.

I really want to do the VIP packages.

For select shows, there will be an inclusive VIP Package with a concert ticket. Each VIP Package is $60 and includes:
- A General Admission Ticket
- Pre-Show Acoustic Performance & Meet and Greet
- Early Entry Into The Venue
- A VIP Fan Exclusive T-Shirt
- A VIP Exclusive Commemorative Laminate


Its AMAZING!

Can't wait!!!

Tha's GREAT value for money. For 60 dollars you can't even see a well-established artist from the worst seat in the venue, yet with Dev you get TWO shows, a chance to say hi and an exclusive T-shirt? Damn, sign me up.
