Canadian eclectic metal artist Devin Townsend will return to Australia in November, just in case you didn’t already have enough gigs lined up that month with Paramore , Bloc Party and Interpol , and Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls .
Dubbed a “genius, an eccentric mastermind, an orchestrator, and a comedian all rolled into one,” Townsend’s body of work is formidable – from the raw intensity of Strapping Young Lad to the otherworldly beauty of Ocean Machine , from Infinity to The Devin Townsend Project , from the tranquillity of Casualties Of Cool to the wild universe of Ziltoid , Devin Townsend is an artist who doesn’t stop creating.
Promoting his new progressive metal album Lightwork , Townsend will also bring out some old-school classics when Aussie fans catch him at Perth’s Magnet House on Wednesday, 8 November, Melbourne’s Forum on Friday, 10 November, Sydney’s Metro Theatre on Saturday, 11 November, and Brisbane’s Tivoli on Sunday, 12 November.
Tickets go on sale on Thursday, 13 July, at 9 am AEST via The Phoenix .
Kill Your Stereo reviewed Townsend’s 25 th album, Empath , in 2019, which we called his most “mind-blowing effort to date”.
“ Empath is something special that I urge everyone to check out, especially those who aren’t particularly into metal,” Kill Your Stereo ’s review continued. “To deny the insane amount of musical talent shown on Empath would be to reject reality.

“If the progressive and metal communities were to create some sort of time capsule for future ears, made up of the scene's greatest artistic achievements, you can bet Empath would rightfully earn such a spot.”
Townsend’s most recent Australian stop, in September 2019, resulted in an epic three-and-a-half-hour show at Melbourne’s Thornbury Theatre.
Keeping 700 punters spellbound, Townsend played stripped-back acoustic versions of his genre-smashing tunes and even offered Q&A sections during the show, giving invaluable advice to young artists (and, indeed, parents).
The Music ’s review concluded, “Tonight is a rare, raw glimpse into the mind, soul and life of an individual with endless creativity and talent - a deep-thinking, switched on and philosophical mind with so much to give to the world.”

Devin Townsend Announces 2023 Australian Tour
By Jules LeFevre
Metal legend Devin Townsend will return to Australia later this year for a run around the country in support of his new album Lightwork. Townsend will begin the tour in Perth at Magnet House on Wednesday, 8th November, with shows in Melbourne and Sydney to follow before he finishes up in Brisbane at the Tivoli on Sunday, 12th November.
Townsend’s last trip to the country was pre-COVID in 2019, famously playing a three-hour show at Melbourne’s Thornbury Theatre that was part-gig, part-Q&A .
Devin Townsend: ‘Call Of The Void’
Lightwork, released late in 2022, was a world away from Townsend’s previous record The Puzzle , which landed in 2021. This is entirely in keeping with the whole of the Canadian artist’s career, having twisted and turned on every release through every one of his many projects since he broke out with the band Strapping Young Lad in the mid-90s.
“There were a lot of times I would try to take it in a direction that, after getting almost to the conclusion of that idea, I was like, ‘well that doesn’t work’,” Townsend told Wall Of Sound about Lightwork . “I had to pull back and say I was losing the vibe of it and it was just turning into this abstract chaos. By the time it was done, I was just so relieved that I was okay with it. That’s not a ringing endorsement, I guess (laughs), but it’s my criteria still, so I’ll stick with it.”
“The acceleration of differences between each record over the past decade, I think is more indicative of an accelerated rate of change in my personal life over the past 10 years,” he continued. “The music is just a reflection of that, in the same way that it was during City or Alien or Infinity . It’s the same process, it’s exactly the same thing, it’s just that the age of 40 to 50 was really different, I had kids, and then of course you throw in the pandemic and war and all this stuff, and the grist for the mill is just plentiful, it’s everywhere.

November 2023 Australian Tour
“tonight should cement beyond any doubt – if any was left – that he’s not just a spectacle but his body of work is near peerless in its creativity and sheer life-affirming splendour.” 10/10 Distorted Sound Magazine
Devin Townsend is a relentless force, fearlessly pushing the boundaries of artistic expression. A genius, an eccentric mastermind, an orchestrator, and a comedian all rolled into one.
His ability to seamlessly transition from creating crushingly heavy sounds to crafting ethereal and otherworldly ambience is not merely a display of immense talent; it lies at the very core of his being. Each album he releases provides a glimpse into the depths of his soul, a tormented spirit finding solace and therapy in his own creations.
From the raw intensity of Strapping Young Lad to the ethereal beauty of Ocean Machine , from Infinity to The Devin Townsend Project , from the atmospheric tranquility of Casualties Of Cool to the zany universe of Ziltoid , his repertoire is an infinite spectrum of exploration.
Townsend’s connection to music, where he perceives notes as vibrant colours and captivating shapes, serves as a cornerstone of his creativity. It breathes new life into his sonic landscapes, immersing listeners in a world that evokes profound emotional responses. Attending a Devin Townsend concert is not a mere event, it is a transcendental experience that leaves you with more questions than answers, yet undeniably humbled.
The current tour has seen Townsend curate a set list that celebrates his legendary career, drawing not only from his brilliant new album Lightwork , but delving all the way to bring back some fan favourites and surprises.

TOUR DATES Wed, Nov 8: Magnet House, Perth Fri, Nov 10: The Forum, Melbourne Sat, Nov 11: The Metro, Sydney Sun, Nov 12: The Tivoli, Brisbane
Devin has decades of work under his belt, from work with Steve Vai in the early 90s, moving through Strapping Young Lad in the 2000s and more solo focused work under his own name, as well as The Devin Townsend Band and The Devin Townsend Project. Devin’s own brand operatic, anthemic rock and metal transcends genre, bringing metal, opera, rock, pop and electronic together in a melting pot of influences.
A sight to behold, Devin’s stage shows rival his music, elevating his guitar playing and arrangement. Devin is also a seasoned producer, and his own music takes cues from the mountains of records he’s overseen, produced and engineered, while also being informed by his own influences. Devin Townsend has produced for Misery Signals, Darkest Hour, Bleeding Through, Gwar and Lamb of God.
Devin Townsend’s is not a show to be missed, his take on contemporary music inspiring everyone anew. He sees music in a whole new way, shifting seamlessly from heavy, boisterous riffs to ethereal, magical ambience that needs to be seen, felt, heard and experienced to be believed.
The tour so far has seen Devin pull songs from his entire catalogue to help promote the stellar work that is Lightwork . A show not to be missed.

Live reviews
That was the most impressively diverse and yet hilariously random show I've seen. They had four different costumes and ambiences. At one point Devin was wearing a tutu and had a pick stuck on his head. His stage presence is incredible. I feel like I watched four different bands for the price of one, and that's without including Haken who opened (and were great too!). 17/10 would recommend
Report as inappropriate
Even if you're not a huge devin fan, he really puts on an impressive show. Great gig!
Lots of visuals, costume changes, amazing musicians, great atmosphere. Musicians look like they're having a great time. Wish the venue had been a touch bigger...it was packed!!
He is not just a great singer, but a great comedian. His voice was so beautiful I cried and it was the first time I did at a concert when he did his acoustic set before Avatar. I also laughed so hard I cried. Thanks Dev.
