With Transcendence out soon, the DTP are heading out to play it live already! It's been almost a year since the last tour... This time around, they'll play together with Fallujah and Between The Buried & Me (well, for most of the gigs anyway). First weekend of October Dev will pop over to London to take over HeavyCon, but afterwards they'll resume touring for another two weeks.

So... setlists, pictures, videos, gig stories... if it's related to this tour, please share it here! Thanks!

I think you missed an Edmonton date on September 4th.

Someone on Reddit said that the setlists on stage also listed Ih-Ah as the first encore, but that they skipped it.

Gotta say, it's a neat setlist but I'm a little disappointed. The guys all talked about how they were digging into the back catalogue and Dev even said they were rehearsing songs that he "never thought would see the light of day." This was a pretty solid set but didn't have anything new or that they haven't played in a long time, besides the Transcendence songs of course. Maybe 'cause it was technically a festival?

Yeah aside from the Transcendence tracks (and they picked some great ones from that album), there's not much there that's really new.

Looks like Ih-Ah is back as the first of the encores.

Perhaps they'll add a few more Transcendence tracks once the album is officially out. Now they play the 3 that were released before the start of this tour, and one 'unknown'.

Do we know if anneke van giersbergen is on the tour or are they using prerecorded vocals for her?

It's been confirmed she's joining for ProgPower (in Atlanta, Sept 10th). Haven't seen anything about the other shows, so it's not very likely.

Judging by photos (mainly Ryans Facebook page) it looks like the audience in clubs is rather small. So far it's like 100 people per venue, what the hell? I always thought that Dev has more fans in America than here in Europe. Please correct me if that's just a coincidence / visual misjudge.

Here I am with a ticket lying in my drawer for the Warsaw show in February.

Is DTP or BTBAM closing out the shows? Or swip-swapping?

Ironically the DTP are not very popular in Canada. I think they shall be playing larger venues in the US.
