From Blabbermouth:
VOIVOD Skip NILE Tour, Focus On Upcoming Album - Oct. 17, 2002

VOIVOD will NOT be touring North America during January/February as part of a five-band package also featuring NILE, NAPALM DEATH, STRAPPING YOUNG LAD and THE BERZERKER. Instead, the quartet are planning on embarking on a headlining tour of the U.S. and Europe shortly following the release of the group's next studio album, The Multiverse, tentatively due in early March through Chophouse Records. The Montreal-based band's non-participation in the NILE tour "was confirmed yesterday," a Chophouse spokesperson told BLABBERMOUTH.NET on Thursday. "They will not be doing the tour. They want to focus on the record. 100% official word."

So, it's a headlining tour after all! Although I don't wanna wait any longer, I'll be stoked to see them play a full fuckin' set!

Opening acts?

That's a damn good thing too!
I've seen them 3 times this year and they are equally crushing live.

How about a Mastodon, Opeth and Voivod package? I hope Voivod make a fucking mint on his upcoming tour. If the new Enslaved comes out first of the year, Voivod could swap bands out for an opener.
