According to this website, Tool are headlining the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in California, apparently playing on the 30th of April. Too bad about the rest of the line-up….. Looks like those fans who were expecting the Smashing Pumpkins to reform for the festival will be bitterly dissappointed. Thanks to arium on Toolarmy for the tip.
A new member on Toolarmy posted on the 29th of January: 86 days The funny thing is, his name is psuedo-xydenature, the same as on Adam’s Myspace page, and this is their one and only message. Read into this what you will, but that would put the new Tool CD release on the 25th of April, or ANZAC Day for you non-Australians (and Kiwi’s).

Found alt.music.tool this quote from Henry Rollins regarding the line up for the Big Day Out, currently heading around Australia: I found out something interesting tonight. Apparently, this tour was to have a bit of a different line-up. Tool was supposed to headline the thing with The Pixies going on before them. The White Stripes were third on the bill. The Stooges were a last minute add. I wonder what… Read More »Henry Rollins on 2006 Big Day Out
According to the Roskilde Festival Website: Introvert art-rock with metal tendencies In a hall of mirrors you do not know where the others are – as is the case with Tool. It has been five years since the album Lateralus, presenting introvert art-rock with metal tendencies. In 2006, a new album is coming, and Tool makes its second appearance at Roskilde.
