Devin Townsend will take an indefinite break from touring after his upcoming North American concerts in May, citing personal and logistical challenges. In his video message, he reflected on his 35-year journey in music, influenced by countless creative pursuits. He mentioned how the pandemic complicated tour arrangements, emphasizing the dwindling number of venues and crews. Furthermore, personal obligations, including family responsibilities and a need for personal reflection, have led him to prioritize a reset. While he plans to stop touring, Townsend reassured fans he'll continue performing, stating, "I'll be performing until my final breath."
For nearly 35 years, I've followed a creative path guided by instinct - each album, each tour, each project a new chapter in a story I've felt compelled to tell.
Booking tours has become more challenging... fewer venues, fewer crews, and a saturated touring circuit.
I've made the decision to take a break from touring - an indefinite one. This upcoming North American run will be the last time you'll see me on stage for the foreseeable future.
Touring has been a beautiful, exhausting constant in my life, and for once, I'm listening to the voice that says: slow down.
