An official teaser has been released to promote the upcoming Devin Townsend Project/Ziltoid double album Z² which you can see after the jump. The official press release included a tour announcement for a 2015 European/UK tour with Periphery and Norway’s Shining, you can find the dates below. The official press release reads:
Following the announcement of the long-awaited new Devin Townsend Project album Z² and the subsequent lightning-fast sell out of London’s prestigious Royal Albert Hall venue for his show on the 13th April next year, they can now reveal an extensive run of European shows for 2015 which will include support from Periphery and Shining. Devin had this to say:
‘Now that the recording and mixing for Z2 is finished, it’s time to gear up for touring again! There’s a bunch of events coming up, and one of them that I’m extremely proud to announce is a European headlining tour with support from the incredible Periphery and the insane Shining!
That’s a heck of a line -up I think, each band is doing something unique from each other, yet are really well defined. It will be an opportunity for us to explore our back catalog as well as the Z2 albums, Sky Blue and Dark Matters (from the upcoming double album, Z2)
One of the greatest things about doing this for as long as I have is that we get to do these sorts of awesome events. I can’t even begin to express how honored I am to share the stage with these incredible bands, and to have such overwhelming support from the audience lately. It’s honestly just an absolute pleasure to do this.
So it is with great pride I invite you to the show! Hopefully we come near you, let’s do this!
Devin =)’
