I think I had a wet dream I was at a show with this lineup (well minus STS) and honestly I still am shock from hearing this.

Fixed.

Sweet!  Something that isn't country or pop is finally coming to Birmingham!

Cynic is on the line up, So it has to be good!

I wish it were just Devin and BTBAM, really.  I don't like STS too much, maybe I should try getting into Cynic again.

DT without hair PLUS three other totally awesome bands!! too bad I'll miss this one :(

LONDON PLZ! LONDON PLZ!!!!!!

I had dream about this situation last night. Wouldn't it suck if it's only this one date?

Anyways, it's indeed a GREAT bill....I love all the bands and artists on it (musically and personally), I consider them all friends of mine and wish them all the best....

So, does that mean DT for PN10?

I'll take what I can get, but I hope we get evening with soon.  I think 2000 was the last year we got an evening with in Florida. I have never been to one and I hope to go to one one day.  Regardless of what it is, I'll be there!

Haha, that would be so disappointing.

wait so is BTBAM really headlining because i was hoping that they won't be because personally i can't stand them. don't get me wrong, they're great musicians and all but the vocalist ruins the music in my opinion.

^^Look at it this way, Since they are headlining you won't have to sit through them and hate it. 

But honestly, the lineup posted by the OP is the most likely scenario.  What an amazing set of bands!  I'm optimistic that this tour will go west coast since we got shafted on the BTBAM/Animals as Leaders tour.

well, i guess. you got a point there. but yeah i do have to agree the line up is pretty killer. i would also love to animals as leaders as well. i found out about them a while ago and i really dig their stuff. i seriously hope that devin, cynic and sts will also come over to the west coast.

I read Dev's forum, and he mentioned that his band is in rehearsals, and he'll be playing both old (solo project) and new (Ziltoid, Ki, Addicted) material. He especially mentioned wanting to do some of the stuff on Physicist "right".

The Dev
Rehearsals are going great, I'll tell you what, the Ziltoid material is insane. After the DTP, I have a pretty solid feeling there will be a new chapter of Ziltoid...there's some very interesting things going on in his 'live' world...I'll keep you posted.

*Orgasams....Dies*

I read that thing about another Ziltoid album this morning
GOD I LOVE DEVIN
so much

ANOTHER ZILTOID!??!?

It is awesome that Devin is getting Ziltoid to do another album. I was starting to think it wasn't going to happen.

I wonder the travel costs for Ziltoid to get here... maybe he wants to be paid in coffee?

I don't like anyone in the lineup except Devin Townsend, but I'd still go to this show anyway just for him.  As long as Devin Townsend somehow ends up playing in Chicago, I'll be a happy camper.

the plot thickens...

was bored and did a search on ticketmaster... this is what came up...

Fuck, I won't see this line-up in Canada then? Oh well, a long as I see Devin and his mates...

I'm fairly confident that there will at least be one off-date where some of these bands (specifically Devy) come up to Canada. I know SYL did it last time they were on Ozzfest, so I could see Devy doing it again for this tour if they don't have a full lineup date up here.

That being said, this lineup is AMAZING. I'm almost more excited for this than I was for the original Prog Nation '09 lineup.

It's not often I miss the US. On the rare occasion I want to shop at 4AM. Or that I want decent Mexican food (or hamburger....or steak....or anything non-fondue-food-related)

It's even far, far less often I miss living in Kentucky. But that moment has struck.

I'm not familiar with Scale the Summit. I saw Cynic open for DT and I dig Traced in Air.

But the other two.....just, damn.

Why do bands always skip NJ or NYC?!!!  Fucking annoying!!!!


Looks like I'll be taking a road trip to Philly.

Keep in mind, the full dates haven't been announced yet.

Might do Baltimore, but Monday night... that's rough.

Kind of sucks the Chicago show is on a Sunday.  I will be on my new work schedule then and will get off at 6:30pm.  Hopefully the show starts late enough to where I can get there in time for Devin Townsend, because he's really the only one I have any interest in seeing.
