Awesome, saw him years ago with SYL in Birmingham, can't WAIT =D

Mushy · 18-06-2011 3:15pm

Tickets cannot be bought fast enough

Passenger · 18-06-2011 3:15pm

Wow! Been hoping I'd see him live at some point. Not hugely impressed with the venue choice though it should be a good gig.

rainbow kirby · 18-06-2011 3:51pm

I believe I speak for a lot of people here when I say...

**** YEAH.

Takemyscars72 · 18-06-2011 7:49pm

Numina · 19-06-2011 5:24am

Sweet.Jesus.

Edit: Funny that I'm listening to "Oh My Fúcking God" right now, I think that sums it up pretty well.

Jelle1880 · 19-06-2011 12:09pm

CrazyTalk · 19-06-2011 9:48pm

Oh yes. I didn't think he would be coming here at all. Today is indeed a good day.

Planemo · 20-06-2011 11:12am

Dates confirmed on Dev's facebook - Venues changed to The Academy and Spring & Airbrake (I hate Whelans so this is great news!)

Brilliant News. Academy is a much better venue imo.

Wow, that is an incredible version of the song!

I'll admit I've never even heard of Turisas - but would really like to see Devin Townsend

rainbow kirby · 20-06-2011 7:02pm

Turisas are great craic live, saw them as a support act a few years back and they were better than the main act :pac:

They were great at Sonisphere last year so that's convinced me to buy a ticket and see them later this year - I interviewed the violinist at the time and he was a good laugh:D

Passenger · 22-06-2011 2:47pm

Got my ticket anyway. It appears that Turisas are getting top billing and DTP are support.

Planemo · 22-06-2011 5:28pm

It's a co-headling gig. Devin is playing last on both dates. Got my tickets today - can't fúcking wait!

Ronan|Raven · 22-06-2011 8:42pm

Devin!? and Turisas? oh hell yes!

Ticket purchased.

Richy06 · 23-06-2011 12:10am

Just Saw Turisas at the weekend in France great live band but their slot was only 30mins (4 songs) so it will be great to see a full set. Also cant wait to see Devin, will see him twice this year as he is returning to Bloodstock this year because last year there were tech problems! So thats pretty sweet!

TheHumanOnion · 24-06-2011 4:41pm

Have never heard any of Devin Townsend's stuff.... can anyone suggest a few decent songs to look up?

Richy06 · 24-06-2011 5:02pm

Dunno would I go about recommending songs, but for albums I'd go for the likes of Terria, Accelerated Evolution, Ziltoid The Omniscient, Ki, Addicted....SYL's stuff can be hit or miss but try City, if you don't like them after that you won't at all.

The man has such a bursting back catalogue that it can be hard to get into him or at least a little daunting. I'd suggest just picking up afew albums and getting stuck in.

Terria is my favourite thing he's done, for the record.

honru · 24-06-2011 5:19pm

Bummer that Turisas are headlining... not my thing at all.

It's a co-headline. Devin is closing.

CrazyTalk · 01-07-2011 4:48pm

Just booked my ticket, it's months away but I can't wait!

Try Christeen, Storm, Hyperdrive (two versions, but reasonably different to each other), Juular, Blackberry, Ki, Heaven Send (<- those last 2 are 7-ish minutes long each, but totally pay off by the end.) Each of these songs are off different albums so expect these to range from pretty heavy to very soft.

The shows just announced in Belfast and Dublin will be co-headline with TURISAS, DTP closing the show.

He said that on his facebook.

120_Minutes · 01-11-2011 1:23am

Just saw on the x music Facebook page that their trying to have a devin clinic on the tuesday at 1 pm, but they need confirmed numbers, so show your interest over on their page..

Motley Crue · 01-11-2011 4:06pm

I'm off to see Turisas tomorrow, look forward to their set, they have Kiuas and Chthonic with them - never seen a Metal band from Taiwan before

Fi H · 02-11-2011 12:01am

Anyone received their ticket for this yet?

bradlente · 02-11-2011 9:43pm

I got mine ages ago via post

Richy06 · 03-11-2011 1:11am

Collecting it at the box office so eh...nope!

Video's from last night's performance in Newcastle

Somnus · 08-11-2011 11:03am

So I'll be going to this tonight (Haven't got a ticket but I'll pay in at the door) Just wondering does anyone know who is the main act? Like is Devin playing last or are Turisas?

Gonna be a class gig

That's deadly. Thanks

Hope Devin hangs around after. It'd be cool to meet him

Somnus · 08-11-2011 5:16pm

This is completely sold out

Mushy · 08-11-2011 8:15pm

Cant believe im missing it

Passenger · 09-11-2011 12:31am

Devin Townsend is without doubt one of the best showmen in Rock/Metal. His interaction and banter with the crowd was very entertaining. The gig itself was superb. Would've liked a few additions to the setlist from my favourite album Synchestra but all in all a good set and a great perfomance from the band too.

bigbadcon · 09-11-2011 9:21am

I think its fair to say that Devin townsend is officially insane. (but very entertaining)

As a live band I thought they were excellent.

Undergod · 10-11-2011 1:35pm

Turisas weren't what I'd call good, but they were a lot more fun than I expected.

Devin Townsend was fantastic! I'd love to see him perform with a keyboardist rather than backing tracks, but that's just a personal gripe - musically he's so impressive.

Was thinking the same thing during the gig. I was looking for a Keyboardist at the side of the stage or something but there was none. Having that extra member might add another dimension to the sound too.

120_Minutes · 10-11-2011 8:52pm

Who's his backing band now? Is mean gene back on drums or is he still with fear factory?
