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.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nSpecial VIP Packages and Presale Tickets will be available for the tour.

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.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nTownsend further states: &#8220;Sitting here at the airport after months of preparation for the European festivals, getting this material ready to be heard the way it&#8217;s meant to be heard has been a pretty mean task. Last night&#8217;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&#8217;s not a huge tour, but I really would appreciate seeing some of the familiar faces and hopefully some new ones as well. It&#8217;s cheesy to announce your touring plans as &#8216;the biggest or best&#8217; of anything, but I love this music, we&#8217;ve worked really hard to get it right. If you&#8217;re one of the folks that dig it, then this should be a great, heavy and fun time that sounds the way it should.&#8221;<br \/>\n<br \/>\n10\/8\/10 Vancouver, BC @ Richshaw Theater<br \/>\n10\/9\/10 Seattle, WA @ Studio Seven<br \/>\n10\/10\/10 Portland, OR @ Hawthorne Theater<br \/>\n10\/12\/10 San Francisco, CA @ Slim&#8217;s<br \/>\n10\/14\/10 Hollywood, CA @ Key Club<br \/>\n10\/15\/10 San Diego, CA @ Ramona Mainstage<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/devintownsenddtb\">http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/devintownsenddtb<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of metal&#8217;s most intriguing, ominous and immensely talented figures, the mighty Devin Townsend, is&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14467","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14467","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=14467"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14467\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=14467"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=14467"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=14467"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
