Devin Townsend has announced his Metamorphosis solo UK and European tour for 2026, marking his return to the stage following a previously declared hiatus. The tour supports his upcoming album The Moth, released on 29 May, and will see Townsend perform across 23 dates in 10 countries.
Known for his boundary-pushing approach to Heavy Metal and progressive music, Townsend will deliver an intimate and unpredictable solo performance, drawing from his extensive catalogue including Strapping Young Lad, Devin Townsend Project and more.
Townsend describes The Moth as the culmination of his musical journey, representing both personal evolution and artistic reflection.
“The Moth feels like the culmination of all my musical experiences and my journey in life so far,” Devin Townsend said. “And as The Moth spreads its wings, I’m also aware of how much I’ve changed, and consequently how much remains to be expressed.
“The making of this album took me on quite a journey of self-exploration. This opportunity to get out there, tell my story with this renewed clarity, celebrate my entire anthology of music across a variety of projects (and the stories behind them), offers an opportunity to connect with the audience who made this all happen and do what I love in the process: Play music.
“I’ve been told The Moth seems like my life’s work and I would agree, though it was a life that no longer exists. Moving into this new life is the path now, and these events offer an introduction to that.”
Fans can expect varied setlists, storytelling and unique performances throughout the run, offering a rare and unfiltered live experience.
Devin Townsend’s latest studio album, The Moth, is out worldwide on 29 May 2026 via Inside Out Music (Sony Music). Pre-orders are available from dvn.lnk.to/TheMoth.
Tickets for the Metamorphosis Solo UK & European Tour 2026 are on general sale on 8 May 2026 at 10 am BST. For more details, visit www.hevydevy.com.
