Dream Theater has announced Devin Townsend as the opener for their upcoming European tour. Townsend said he had to push aside a handful of already-planned headlining shows to accommodate the tour and will announce rescheduled dates soon.
"Hey all, Devin here. As absurd as it may sound in this day and age, I am (cautiously) pleased to announce a tour with Dream Theater. Over the past few years, I've found myself in the company of those cats, and I think they're good people and of course, a monster band. I look forward to playing things from the multiple new releases coming up, as well as from my entire catalog. It's a tour that will be sure to yield great musical moments, and confusion for all ? Thanks for the opportunity DT… see you soon with DT featuring DT ?
"Also: I know so many of you have been understanding and patient as we reschedule the headline shows from more than a year ago. It has been chaos on every level, but it's beginning to see the dawn as dates as being proposed. Please hang on just a little longer and we'll have information for you soon.
"This does mean that most of the European 'Lightwork' headline shows will now be rescheduled to a later date. Tickets already purchased will remain vaild. Please check with your ticketing vendor for their refund policy.
"Devin's headline shows in Dublin, Glasgow and London are unaffected. More info and ticket links can be found here: https://hevydevy.com/tourdates"
