Prog-rock visionary Devin Townsend is bringing his Metamorphosis Tour to Australia and New Zealand in 2027.

Following 23 sold-out shows in 13 countries across Europe and the UK this year, Townsend brings his Metamorphosis Tour our way in March next year, performing songs from not only his solo albums, but also projects released with Strapping Young Lad, Devin Townsend Project, Casualties of Cool and more.

These intimate one-man solo performances span Townshead's four decades in music, with changing setlists, stories and surprises.

Townsend kicks things off in New Zealand at the Powerstation in Auckland on Sunday 28 March. He then makes his way to Australia for concerts at Brisbane's Princes Theatre on Wednesday 31 March, Sydney's Liberty Hall on Friday 2 April, Melbourne's Northcote Theatre on Saturday 3 April and Adelaide's The Gov on Monday 5 April, wrapping things up on Tuesday 6 April at Perth's Fremantle Social Club.

Townsend has been writing and performing since the '80s, first coming to people's attention in the '90s with the extreme metal band Strapping Young Lad.

He's since gone on to front several bands, including Devin Townsend Project, The Devin Townsend Band and Casualties of Cool, while also releasing a stack of solo albums, including this year's The Moth, a record that has been universally praised.

With so much material under his belt and a promise that every show will be different, tickets are sure to be a hot item once they officially go on sale next week.

Catch Devin Townsend performing at The Gov on Monday 5 April. Ticketing information is available at thephoenix.au.
