Devin Townsend Reveals 2027 Australian Tour Dates

Devin Townsend returns to Australia in 2027 for intimate, one-man-only shows with changing setlists and more.

Devin Townsend returns to Australia in March and April 2027, following his run of tour dates in November 2023.

This time around, though, fans will see the Canadian multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, and producer present shows in an intimate, one-man-only format. His forthcoming Metamorphosis Tour spans four decades of music, with each night featuring different setlists, stories, and other surprises.

The tour begins with a stop in New Zealand, with the progressive metal visionary performing at Auckland’s Powerstation on Sunday, 28 March. From there, he heads to Australia.

Townsend’s Australian dates take place at Brisbane’s Princess Theatre on Wednesday, 31 March, Sydney’s Liberty Hall on Friday, 2 April, Melbourne’s Northcote Theatre on Saturday, 3 April, Adelaide’s The Gov on Monday, 5 April, and Fremantle’s Freo.Social on Tuesday, 6 April.

Pre-sale tickets will be available on Friday, 13 November, at 9 am local time, followed by the general sale on Monday, 16 November, at 9 am local time. Head to The Phoenix for more details.

Townsend is recognised for his many projects, such as the extreme metal of Strapping Young Lad, the progressive and atmospheric work of the Devin Townsend Project and Casualties of Cool, as well as his solo catalogue.

Known for his technical virtuosity, genre-defying vision, emotional range and powerful live shows, Townsend distilled all those elements into his latest project, The Moth, an ambitious rock opera released earlier this year.

A press release notes that setlists are expected to change each night, with Townsend drawing on his vast catalogue. His many bands, as well as music made for The Moth, will appear across the tour.

Reviewing Townsend’s 2023 show at Melbourne’s Forum, The Music’s Rod Whitfield wrote, “With an artist like Devin Townsend, it doesn’t seem to matter as much that you don’t hear everything you wanted to hear; you simply take what you can get and enjoy every living second of it.

“What stands out tonight is that this show highlights the sheer schizophrenic genius of the man’s career so far, the sheer contrast in sounds and the neck-snapping juxtaposition of styles inherent in his catalogue.”
