This September, the DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT and KATATONIA will team-up for the \u201cEpic Kings & Idols Tour\u201d, a co-headlining North American run featuring PARADISE LOST as direct support and STOLEN BABIES as openers (DTP and KATATONIA will alternate in headlining each show).\u00a0<\/p>\n

In regards to this upcoming trek, Devin Townsend comments: \u201cSo after a break in which we’ve managed to finish the live DVDs from the London shows (\u2018By A Thread\u2019) 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!\u201d<\/p>\n

KATATONIA\u2019s Anders Nystrom adds: \u201cA better bill than this will be hard to find!\u201d<\/p>\n

Renowned multi-instrumentalist Devin Townsend will be touring in support of DTP\u2019s forthcoming CD\/DVD-set, By A Thread – Live in London 2011, due out June 19th (InsideOut Music)– as well as the next chapter in DTP\u2019s career, Epicloud, set to be released on Sept 18th (InsideOut Music).
