Devin Townsend Confirms Australian Acoustic Tour

Progressive heavy music maestro Devin Townsend will return to Australia this September for a run of special headline shows.

The Canadian artist’s An Evening With solo acoustic tour will see him play intimate versions of songs across his catalogue while also taking part in Q&A sessions.

“Before I tour with a band again, I wanted to have the opportunity to play for you, and meet up with the people who not only have made my work possible, but inspire me to continue,” Townsend said.

“In a world of computers and social media, to be stripped of all the bells and whistles is a very important step for my reintroduction to the live concert world. I truly hope you'll join me and I look forward to being the most honest I can be with you at these special shows."

The tour kicks off in Adelaide on September 10 before taking on Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth in the days that follow; check out theGuide for all the details.

Townsend’s latest album, Empath, dropped earlier this year.
