NERDFEST USA: MORE DEVIN TOWNSEND SOLO TOUR DATES ANNOUNCED W/ TESSERACT!

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010 at 10:00am by

Disappointed that Devin Townsend’s previously announced fall tour would only play a handful of West Coast dates? Fret no more; Heavy Devy has finally delivered on his promise to take his first ever U.S. solo headlining tour to other parts of the country, and he’ll be bringing longtime Internet darlings and recent Century Media signees Tesseract along with him as support.

Devin performed like a headliner when we saw him open for Cynic and BTBAM earlier this year, but his performance was way too short for us to get our fix; to say his show was powerful and incredibly captivating would be a gross understatement. Now we’ll finally have the opportunity to see him play an extended set of material from his many excellent solo albums live and in the flesh, along with a few hundred other equally stoned and equally nerdy metalheads. Yee gads!

As for Tesseract, it looks like they’ll actually be delivering on that promise for an official release in 2010, even if it’s an EP. According to a source at Century Media, Concealing Fate will come out October 12th online, and there will be a limited edition pressing of it available at shows, at CM Distro and at the band’s webstore. Djent fans everywhere have gotta be muy excited.

You’ll find that complete list of confirmed Devin Towsend / Tesseract dates after el jumpo.

  • Hot Donut

    The Note is in West Chester, not Philly.

    • msv81

      I was wondering about that; never heard of the place. Is it the venue that dude from Jackass owns or something?

      • Hot Donut

        Yeah it’s owned by Bam Margera (Jackass, Viva La Bam). I saw Steel Panther there last year and it’s actually a decent place. Pretty small, good sound, reasonable prices/selection at the bar.

        The only bad thing I could say about the place is that it’s not easily accessible via mass transit (compared to venues in Philly). Not a problem for me, but could be a problem for some.

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Justin-Ashley/894695456 Justin Ashley

      I agree. While the House of Blues in Boston seems to have better sound quality than The Palladium, I really can’t get over the constant presence of 20+ security guards standing around the pit and the audience. A little too nanny for me.

      That and the 35+ dollar parking any time there is a fucking baseball game playing.

      • inhumanrampager

        Agreed, Justin…I HATE HOB security. That and driving through Boston is a bitch….sure it may be closer for me, but it’s easier to drive through Worcester since the Palladium is close to the highway. I am soooo asking for this day off from work.

  • UnrealInsanityX

    Is this his project or solo act?

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Devon-Czekaj/550092101 Devon Czekaj

      I just read The Note’s listinf for the show and I was right…

      DEVIN IF YOU ARE READING THESE COMMENTS PLEASE GET ME INTO YOUR SHOW THERE! I’LL DO ANYTHING INCLUDING SELLING MY SOUL TO THE ZILTOID PUPPET!

  • Jon

    Where did you guys get these dates from? I’m not seeing Toronto on Devin’s website, the ticketing website, or in the email I got this morning… The venue site has no mention of it either.. I need some clarification.. :(

    • Beauzaque

      Yeah same here. I signed up for Twitter just so I could ask him. Hoping for an answer soon. There is a big gap in the dates on his site where the Canadian dates would be, so maybe it was supposed to be a surprise. Way to blow it MS.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Lance-Zeran/100000142665110 Lance Zeran

    Fuck you Devin for not booking Grand Rapids.

    • foobear

      It’s not listed there, but the official site says he’s coming to Flint. That’s the best you get. It’s payback for you guys getting the Mastodon+BTBAM+Baroness tour.

  • Xenochrist

    I would give my left testicle to see Tesseract. Come to fucking Texas!

  • Mos TesseracT

    haha…you guys have scooped our release date even before we knew!

    Love TesseracT

  • PaxlRose

    I wish Anneke would perform with him on tour.

  • v4twint

  • MJS

    So Tesseract decide to drop an EP when they have been sitting on a full album for OVER A YEAR! Nice way of doing over your fans

  • Lady Siara
