Tool Summer Tour confirmed
March 25th, 2009
Tags:Lollapalooza,Tool,US Tour

Blair has confirmed on Toolband/Army that Tool will be touring this summer. Presumably the US only, Tool break from recent trends and decide to tour prior to the release of the new album.

I?m sure many of you have heard of an upcoming summer tour. Although I can?t announce any specific dates yet (as the bulk of the dates haven?t been confirmed), once they are finalized and official, we?ll be sure to announce them on the site. So? be on the lookout for these dates to be posted soon, and get ready for live Tool this summer. (Now I understand what that elemental was referring to in the February newsletter)

Personally, this has caught me by surprise. I wouldn?t be expecting an extensive tour, probably just a dozen or so dates in the major capitals. I guess this also means Lollapalooza is more or less confirmed.

so much for not going to any shows this year.

Strong rumor says Lollapalooza.


I can't fathom them NOT playing in LA, but if not then Chicago here I come!

I saw them when they were in Pittsburgh a few years back... still the best show I've ever been to. Hope they come back.

And what's worse than that is you gave up 2 different NIN concerts that you already had tickets to.

I wish they'd put out a new, better album. :|

 

[thirdeye]

Awesome! I'm just hoping the latest NIN tour didn't spoil my love for live Tool shows. I'm not sure if they'll be able to top that.

 

[buck]

I hope they make it to Seattle/Vancouver/Portland....

The last 5 seconds of "ghosts 19" is the best fade to black ever performed on any stage.

lollapalooza confirmed!?

Tool, Killers join Lollapalooza headliners
March 23, 2009 12:35 AM | 6 Comments
The Killers and Tool are expected to fill out the headlining slots for the fifth annual Lollapalooza festival Aug. 7-9 in Grant Park.

Multiple industry sources confirmed over the weekend at the South by Southwest Music Conference in Austin, Texas, that the two bands will join headliners previously reported by the Tribune: the Beastie Boys, Depeche Mode and Jane's Addiction, plus Kings of Leon.

Not worth me going 2k miles for if they're playing in CA though.

Interestingly, The Patient is my favorite song from L. I'd have to go with Flood for my favorite, though "Track #1" is my favorite video and possibly the best piece of film ever shot.

JC is making great strides. I almost don't miss Paul anymore, but I do wish he'd grab that ridiculously talented Greg Edwards again and put out a new Lusk album or at least another Replicants disk.

I still think Undertow is the supreme album of all time with Aenima right there at #2 A revolving collection of albums seems to round out the top ten, but those two never change.

Anyway, I can't wait to see the boys again. Watching their evolution as a live band has definitely been one of the highlights of my life.
