The fans had Devin Townsend’s back during his time of financial need. Now Devy is giving back: the much-beloved musician will play three online concerts via the streaming service StageIt, with the proceeds going to three separate charities, all of which could use a hand during the coronavirus pandemic. There was a slight amount of confusing communication in Devin’s initial tweets, but I believe the schedule for the shows/ charities is as follows:

Saturday, April 18 – Benefitting Vancouver General Hospital
Saturday, April 25 – Benefitting the U.K.’s National Health Service
Saturday, May 2 – Benefitting New York Hosptials

The concerts will also eventually be available for download, in case you can’t catch ’em live. Although I don’t know what the fuck else you’ve got going on those days.

Stay tuned for more details…

Just working on the logistics for 3 online concerts in which all proceeds will go to various hospitals. Will also be offering a finished download of the concert as well. Hoping for next week to start. Thanks for everything.— Devin Townsend (@dvntownsend) April 9, 2020

BY REQUEST, ALL PROCEEDS AND TIPS GO TO CHARITY. you will be able to purchase a download of the audio as well. It will be through @Stageit .
