Devin Townsend - To Perform A Special Show Next October

Canadian progressive metal mastermind Devin Townsend has announced a special show, The Retinal Circus, for October 27th, 2012, at the Roundhouse in London.

Here's what Devin has to say about the show: "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!"
