Avatar will continue celebrating their new record Avatar Country with a North American tour this May and June, and they're taking Devin Townsend along with them. Townsend will perform an acoustic set, likely featuring some new songs off his coming Empath record, and will be opened for by Dance With The Dead and ’68.
Here's what Avatar vocalist Johannes Eckerström had to say about the trek.
“This tour is extra special to us and me personally as we’ve not only amazing hand-picked openers to showcase what we think deserves more eyes and ears in ’68 and Dance With The Dead, but we also have the extreme pleasure and privilege to share the stage with Devin Townsend at an exciting phase of his career.”
I am a life long fan, and I genuinely feel that people who appreciate our willingness to experiment and walk that extra mile to be true to our vision and integrity have Mr. Townsend to thank for a lot. It will be a bucket list experience for me, and I hope we get to share it with as many people as possible.”
