Devin Townsend Project Announce Australia/New Zealand Tour

After a sold-out tour in 2015 in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, The Devin Townsend Project are returning, only this time Perth and Auckland are on the budget as well. The guitar virtoso is one of the most celebrated singer/songwriters in heavy music. The Devin Townsend Project’s live show never fails to satisfy and amaze. Tickets are on sale now through MJR Presents.

The tour is celebrating Townsend’s 2016 release, ‘Transcendence’.

‘Transcendence’ was the first ARIA charting album for the band, coming in at #10 in its first week on the charts. The album was recorded at The Armoury Studios in Vancouver, Canada. ‘Transcendence’ sound is absolutely massive. From the moment Truth—a re-work from the ‘Infinity’ album—monstrously blends into the soul-stirring Stormbending to the undulating cool of mid-point jam Secret Sciences and Ween cover Transdermal Celebration, Townsend and crew have engineered a modern-day classic. The sheer scale of tracks like Failure, Higher, and the majestic title track is at once daunting and inviting. ‘Transcendence’ pulls the listener in like a movie score. It has the emotional heft of Rosenman’s Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home and the mega-riff power of Black-era Metallica.

The Devin Townsend Project will be playing in Auckland, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth throughout May 2017. Tickets are on sale now through MJR Presents.
