Following last week´s more than highly successful album shows in London, Devin Townsend has announced a brand new London date…the biggest show he's ever done.
Speaking about the recent London shows, Hevy Devy said: “This last week was probably THE defining moment in my life, let alone my career in many ways. I've had some intense gigs and experiences in music before, but all pale in comparison to the 4 sold out shows in London where we played all four DTP records, with four different bands, night after night.
Everyone worked incredibly hard, and each of us gave 100% to pull it off, bands, players, management, label, and audience. It was awesome!”
Continuing to reveal details about the next landmark shows, Devin announced: “So here's the next big gig: Next October 27th, at the amazing Roundhouse in London, We're putting on the most definitive 'Devin' show to date. A culmination of my ENTIRE career with a star line up and full supporting cast.
The show is being called 'The Retinal Circus', (named after an old Vancouver club in the 60's, famous for psychedelic rock shows) and will be more than just a musical performance… there will be an art exhibition, actors, Ziltoid, stilt walkers, fire breathers…you name it. My goal has always been to make SHOWS, and this is the first opportunity I have been given to do a high-end production that puts it all together! It's the closest Saturday to Halloween, and the goal is to make something amazing that we can all enjoy…details to come…psychedelic!
My career has been full of amazing musicians, and there will be plenty of them present at this show, and I'll be playing music that has never been attempted due to the size of the songs and the need for certain things.”
The new show is also set to be recorded for DVD: “It will be recorded for a DVD of course, and it's going to be a pretty intense experience… we have a year to make it perfect, so I just wanted to give you some hints! The VIP package will be available with special goodies among other exclusive things.
Anyways, I'm back to work here…I hope to see you there, I'm beyond excited to have this opportunity, we're not taking it lightly!”
