While there’s no release date for Devin Townsend’s forthcoming Epicloud album yet, Devy fans have reason to rejoice, as it was announced today that he’ll be co-headlining the “Epic Kings & Idols tour” along with Katatonia. Paradise Lost and Stolen Babies will be opening. “So after a break in which we’ve managed to finish the live DVDs from the London shows (By A Thread) 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,” Townsend comments. “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!”
