Watch: DEVIN TOWNSEND Performs In London During 'Metamorphosis' 2026 European Solo Tour

On September 6, Canadian visionary musician, composer, and producer Devin Townsend performed at Union Chapel in London, United Kingdom as part of his "Metamorphosis" European solo tour. Fan-filmed video of the concert can be seen in the YouTube playlist below. (Note: After each song, the YouTube player automatically jumps to the next song in the playlist.)

The "Metamorphosis" solo tour offers a rare unfiltered opportunity to see Devin back on stage, performing solo at 23 shows across 10 different countries in Europe. In typical Devin Townsend fashion, expect the unexpected with a varied setlist that will doubtless change night by night, and, of course, a few (bizarre) surprises along the way.

This welcomed change of heart should likely appeal to a legion of loyal fans worldwide, who now have the opportunity to watch Devin Townsend perform a range of tracks from his 31-strong studio album discography across a range of different artist projects, including PUNKY BRÜSTER, CASUALTIES OF COOL, DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT and the genre-defining STRAPPING YOUNG LAD.

Townsend released his ambitious, orchestral metal opus "The Moth" in May via InsideOut Music. This 24-track record began as a vague vision more than a decade ago. It existed in the back of Townsend's mind as his "life's work". Then, about six years ago, after an acoustic show in Amsterdam, Townsend was approached by the head of the Noord Nederlands Orkest (North Netherlands Symphony Orchestra) with an offer: bring orchestral grandeur to Devin's extensive discography.

"The Moth" constitutes three distinct parts across its release. In addition to the main album, "The Moth - The Afterlife" highlights the grandeur of the orchestra and choir, in what might be considered a more pure version of "The Moth" experience. "The Moth - The War" is a recording of the live musical debut that took place in March 2025 in The Netherlands, showcasing the raw emotion of performing "The Moth" for the very first time.

Townsend is a visionary musician, producer, and multi-instrumentalist whose career spans extreme metal, ambient music, and orchestral rock. From his early days as the frontman of STRAPPING YOUNG LAD to his expansive solo career, Townsend's work is known for its grandeur, humor, and emotional intensity. Albums like "Ocean Machine" (1997),"Empath" (2019) and "Lightwork" (2022) showcase his ability to shift between brutal heaviness and ethereal beauty. Townsend's sonic experiments and powerful live performances have earned him a devoted fanbase, cementing him as one of progressive metal's most unique voices.
