Devin Townsend Announces ‘Indefinite’ Break From Touring

Devin Townsend has revealed his forthcoming run of tour dates will be his last for the “foreseeable future” as he takes a “vacation” from touring.

“Over the years, I’ve heard it countless times: ‘Dev, take a break… please.’ But the flood of ideas, the excitement, and the support of incredible musicians and listeners have kept me going, kept me touring, and kept me grateful for a life on the road. As a result, Townsend explained that when he wraps up his upcoming run of dates in Los Angeles on May 23, it will be the “last time you’ll see me on stage for the foreseeable future.” Continuing, he noted that his extended period of rest will see him taking time to “breathe and recalibrate” as he deals with the necessities of life and he tends to the “dozen things that I’ve been waiting to do for all these years that have to be pushed aside due to the constant touring.” Townsend also added that he would be taking the time to launch a new YouTube series called The Ruby Quaker Show where he explores the numerous creative ventures he has had on the back burner for years.
