It's all over 😭 84 shows, 4 continents, 28 countries, 17 weeks spent on the road. #Vectour is complete! There will be no more Haken headline shows in support of Vector but we will be back in Europe again later this year in support of Devin Townsend!!! So until then... it's been amazing! Thanks to all of you for your support and love for our new album. Special thanks to all of our hardworking crew and behind the scenes slaves. We couldn't do any of this without you! But now it's time to chill for a bit.... 😁 Photo by Max Taylor Grant

Just came off stage at Prog In Park. Wow, what a way to end this tour! Thank you, Poland. We’ve had a lot of fun but now it’s time to go home! 🕺🏻 #vectour

The last couple of weeks traveling around Europe have been incredible. Yet again, we have been blown away by the support we have been shown and humbled by the kindness of the people we have met and worked with. Tonight, it ends at Prog In Park in Warsaw, Poland. Let's make it a good one! #vectour Photo by Steve Inman

Thanks to everyone who donated or sent good wishes to our sound engineer, Adam. In the space of just a few short hours, the gofundme target was smashed. You guys are the best! Here's a message from him: Hey Everyone, Adam here, Haken’s sound engineer. I just wanted to send a personal note to you all to thank you for your help and donations in replacing my laptop. I am both overwhelmed and overjoyed by what you guys and girls have done for me and it has got me out of a massive hole. Special thanks to Travis, Steve, Max and the Haken Band members for setting this up and making it possible. Big love. See you all at a show soon. xx

Last night, our sound engineer Adam had his macbook pro stolen from the sound desk shortly after we came off stage in Brno. It's unclear whether the thief was a fan of the band attending the show, or a passing opportunist. We'd like to think the latter. As you can see from the venue CCTV footage (in the link below), this person audaciously reaches over and grabs the macbook (which was incidentally playing our end of night house music!). This was Adam's personal property and as such is unfortunately not covered by the band insurance. It is nevertheless a piece of equipment that plays a crucial part in Adam's day to day job as our sound engineer. We are all very annoyed that this happened to him and that an otherwise awesome evening with our fantastic Czech fans has been sullied by the actions of one selfish individual. If you'd like to help, here's a GoFundMe very kindly setup by our crew on Adam's behalf. All of the proceeds will go directly to replacing Adam's macbook.

Amazing couple of days to kick off this summer tour of Europe. Provinssi 🇫🇮 was incredible, thanks for the amazing turnout and response! Vainstream 🇩🇪 this afternoon was 🔥 in more ways than one 🌞 It’s great to be back in Germany! Tomorrow, we’re in Hannover. Who’s coming?? #vectour _ Photo by Hossay

The original Haken logo might make an appearance or two on this tour, starting tonight in Finland at @provinssi. Fun fact, we’ve never even used this backdrop before as it was way too big back in the Aquarius days when we were playing tiny clubs! 😂 #vectour
