Get ready: Tool are set to unveil details of their “upcoming tour dates coming very soon”…
They’ve got three massive festival dates lined up for the rest of this year – including the frankly ridiculous mega-fest Power Trip – but it seems as though Tool are planning much more than what’s on their current calendar.
The alternative metal legends have teased that they’ll be announcing a proper tour “very soon”, following the launch of their “new and improved” Tool Army fan club. “Join the new and improved Tool Army, now powered by TopFan, for special merch and perks, including exclusive pre-sale to Tool headlining shows and early access to VIP packages,” reads the message. “More [details] for our upcoming tour dates coming very soon.”
This time last year, of course, the band had been in the UK for their incredible Fear Inoculum run. Reviewing their London show, Kerrang! reflected how “impossible” it was to put together the perfect Tool setlist.
“It's a puzzle to put it together, no doubt,” we wrote. “But changing bits up every night means no matter how good one show is (immaculate, sublime, additional synonyms for ‘it was very excellent’), the other night’s grass will always have greener patches. Nicer problems to have. The solution to which, of course, is to go and see more Tool shows.”
Hopefully that ‘problem’ will be rectified very soon, then…
