Thank you for this! Do you have any information on what the difference will be in set times between Katatonia headlining or not?

Anthony3 · June 1st, 2012, 03:21 PM

Set length will be the same.

Coma323 · June 1st, 2012, 03:24 PM

Cool that Devin is headlining NYC, means I can leave right after Katatonia.

Your loss, friendo.

Coma323 · June 1st, 2012, 03:46 PM

I've tried to get into him and really can't. I'll be seeing him for sure at the Worcester show but since NYC is on a work night that just means I'll get home earlier.

Perhaps I'll get into him by then.

Anthony3 · June 1st, 2012, 03:55 PM

Devin is awesome.

scentofdeath · June 1st, 2012, 04:37 PM

This year just gets better and better.
Every other week is full of awesome news, music, tours. I don't know what could make it better (except for some more money perhaps...).
Loving this tour announcement right now.
I've smoked two cigarettes just staring at the poster making sure Vancouver is in the loop. Crazy!

<<Sept. 18--Pittsburgh, PA--Mr. Smalls - Katatonia>>

Seriously, this is just insane. Just as i'm really getting back into Paradise Lost... I'm not really too much into Devin's music, I would rather see PL headlining with Katatonia. Wasn't Katatonia only recently opening for Paradise Lost in Europe?

kokevinny · June 1st, 2012, 05:28 PM

Devin Townsend is a genius, first of all. Also absolutely insane, perhaps it is a bit hard to understand him...

Did ya know that Paradise Lost is going to be on the metal cruise this year also??? I've heard some cool stuff about the metal cruise that happens every year...

Yep I was at that tour in London, PL were they're usual shite self, although that should be Nick was his usual boring cant be arsed twat self which ruins nearly every gig they do. Apparently PL have managed to put on one or two decent live shows recently but dont expect too much, if Nick cant be bothered then you might as well visit the merch or the bar.

Defiance · June 1st, 2012, 08:36 PM

I'll do everything in my power to get to the Montréal date. I've already seen Katatonia and DTP, but not PL. Ohhhhhh this is mental, really. And I agree, PL should be headlining with Kata, not DTP, but oh well me not complain, this is really amazing. I can't wait to see them again!!!

Anthony3 · June 1st, 2012, 08:37 PM

I have seen Paradise Lost a bunch of times, they have always been great.

Anthony · June 2nd, 2012, 06:11 AM

I have seen Paradise Lost once and I was surprised how boring they were. And not only me - the whole audience was disappointed.

Code Against The Code · June 2nd, 2012, 09:20 PM

Devin rarely disappoints on his studio work, and never disappoints live. Brilliant, creative, hilarious.

shadowNINE · June 5th, 2012, 01:43 AM

This is quite a package! Good on you for posting about this here, Anthony3. I'll see you in Worcester.

scentofdeath · June 6th, 2012, 02:28 PM

Got my ticket. Time warp now!!!

Lisra · June 6th, 2012, 02:31 PM

Please announce Europe tour nao!

Swany · June 6th, 2012, 04:38 PM

Ah, well, unfortunately I'm writing my final thesis this summer so there's no way I could make a trip over... but I wish all our friends on the other side of the ocean much fun!

Those vip packages are a motherfucking joke. 140 and you only meet one band?! Yeah okay, that's an easy pass. Whoever put these packages together needs to get their head checked out. Anywhoo, just bought two general admission tickets. Total price 53.00. See ya in Philly YeYeah!!

weinerdog · June 7th, 2012, 05:59 PM

Wow - $140 is a bit more than I was expecting too. I'd love to meet PL as well and wish they had a more inclusive VIP option. I get that they need these packages to make the tours more viable from a $ standpoint, but I don't think they're doing themselves any favors with that price point. No reason they had to more than double the VIP price from their last NA tour, which was (at most) $60 for the Twin Cities show.

insidethefall · June 7th, 2012, 10:40 PM

Even when I had heard the live stuff from the Draconian Times tour, Nick was pretty bad...I guess I'll just have to accept it. They should really get Gregor to sing Gothic (if they do it) or maybe even invite Anders out for that !!

Gregor should sneak some Vallenfyre into their set.
