The DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT and MESHUGGAH have announced a co-headline show with support from PERIPHERY, at the 02 Brixton Academy in London, England on May 3rd. Townsend has checked in with the following update:

"Brixton Academy, May 3rd co-headline with Meshuggah date is now up for fan-club pre-sale. There's also a very limited number of DTP (only) VIP packages available that include some pretty cool and one-off event items so go check it out here .

Devin had this to say about the not-to-be-missed show: "Well this is an intense turn of events... it's no secret how much love and respect I have for Meshuggah. They are an anomaly in life, let alone in music, as being a perfectly developed entity that only evolves as a result of there being nothing but honesty in their vision. If you have not experienced Meshuggah live, I truly believe you have not witnessed the elite that this genre has to offer, and to be playing alongside of them again is an honour that I don't take lightly.

Periphery are a band and a musical entity as well in which I cannot say enough good things about. The potential that band of humans demonstrates together is truly unlimited, and they have a perspective on music that very few folks do, unlimited scope and astounding musicianship. Their new record is beautiful and the people in the band are a constant source of inspiration to me.

To be allowed to participate in this bill is humbling beyond all explanation, and the Brixton Academy is a historic venue that has been on my 'bucket-list' to play. By being the best version of myself that I can be we hope to do this show the justice it deserves. An honour and a privilege. We hope to see you there, and the three bands will do you proud. Peace."

Tickets officially go on sale February 1st, pre-sale started on January 31st priced at £28.50 (subject to booking fee) at Livenation.co.uk or Ticketmaster.co.uk.
