On October 27th, the DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT will play a one-off show dubbed The Retinal Circus at the Roundhouse in London, England. According to an update from Townsend, they will be playing two warm-up shows on October 23rd in Newcastle and October 24th in Cambridge. Tickets are now available at this location.
Townsend recently issued the following update on The Retinal Circus:
"So here's the next big gig: Next October 27th (2012), at the amazing Roundhouse in London, We're putting on the most definitive 'Devin' show to date. A culmination of my ENTIRE career with a star line up and full supporting cast.The show is being called The Retinal Circus, (named after an old Vancouver club in the 60's, famous for psychedelic rock shows) and will be more than just a musical performance... there will be an art exhibition, actors, Ziltoid, stilt walkers, fire breathers... you name it. My goal has always been to make SHOWS, and this is the first opportunity I have been given to do a high-end production that puts it all together! It's the closest Saturday to Halloween, and the goal is to make something amazing that we can all enjoy…details to come... psychedelic!
My career has been full of amazing musicians, and there will be plenty of them present at this show, and I'll be playing music that has never been attempted due to the size of the songs and the need for certain things.
It will be recorded for a DVD of course, and it's going to be a pretty intense experience... we have a year to make it perfect, so I just wanted to give you some hints! The VIP package will be available with special goodies among other exclusive things.
Anyways, I'm back to work here... I hope to see you there, I'm beyond excited to have this opportunity, we're not taking it lightly!"
