Epic Kings & Idols Tour - Devin Townsend Project and Katatonia in Los Angeles

Epic Kings & Idols Tour - Devin Townsend Project and Katatonia

This September, the DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT and KATATONIA will team-up for the “Epic Kings & Idols Tour”, a co-headlining North American run featuringPARADISELOST as direct support and STOLEN BABIES as openers (DTP and KATATONIA will alternate in headlining each show).

In regards to this upcoming trek, Devin Townsend comments: “So after a break in which we've managed to finish the live DVDs from the London shows (‘By A Thread’) as well as our surprisingly epic new record, 'Epicloud'...We're about to start getting into touring mode again, and it pleases me to announce that we'll be with some wonderful bands this Fall. I think this package pretty much covers the gamut of emotional heavy music, and really...It'll be nice to share the stage with some passionate folks who live for their music as much as we do. Again, we can't thank you enough for supporting what we do and allowing us to play for you. It will be nice to catch up, and we hope to see you there!”

KATATONIA’s Anders Nystrom adds: “A better bill than this will be hard to find!”

Renowned multi-instrumentalist Devin Townsend will be touring in support of DTP’s forthcoming CD/DVD-set, By A Thread - Live in London 2011, due out June 19^th (InsideOut Music)-- as well as the next chapter in DTP’s career, Epicloud, set to be released on Sept 18^th (InsideOut Music).
