Hampton, Virginia Tool show announced for February 3rd

hellboy — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 02:57:13 +0000

Blair posted on Toolband today that it’s likely the TBA show for the 3rd of February should be in Hampton, Virginia:

I don’t have the exact date yet, but it looks like tickets for the FEBRUARY 3rd HAMPTON, VA show, and the FEBRUARY 4th CHARLOTTE, NC show both go on sale the first weekend in January. When I get more specifics, I will post.

I suspect the shows will go on sale on the 7th of January as with the Florida one, but stay tuned for more details. Check here for other details on the Tool 2012 Winter Tour.

Tool Winter Tour Update

hellboy — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 23:12:38 +0000

As the Tool 2012 Winter Tour slowly approaches there are a few more details I haven’t blogged about yet (though have included on the Tour Page).

Firstly it appears that the TBA date for the 21st of January will be a second show at the Verizon Arena in Dallas, TX. For those of you willing to brave the waiting room system once more, tickets go on sale on the 22nd of December at 10am. Thanks to everyone who bugged me with an email about this!

For the other remaining dates still to go on sale, the show in Orlando, FL goes on sale on Saturday the 7th of January at 10am via Ticketmaster. No word yet on the other shows still to go on sale (they don’t appear on Ticketmaster).

Support for this tour will be coming from Intronaut for the first half and Yob for the second. Yob confirmed via Twitter that they’d be playing the following dates:

TOOL – Jan 28 2012 – TD Garden – Boston, MA, USA
TOOL – Jan 29 2012 – Susquehanna Bank Center – Camden, NJ
TOOL – Jan 31 2012 – Mohegan Sun Arena – Uncasville, CT
TOOL – Feb 01 2012 – Izod Center – East Rutherford, NJ
TOOL – Feb 03 2012 – TBA
TOOL – Feb 04 2012 – Bojangles’ Coliseum – Charlotte, NC
TOOL – Feb 06 2012 – Bank Atlantic Center – Sunrise, FL
TOOL – Feb 07 2012 – UCF Arena – Orlando, FL
TOOL – Feb 08 2012 – Gwinnett Center Arena – Duluth, GA

Thanks to Jeremy for that tip

Tool tickets on sale and futher dates announced

hellboy — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 23:01:41 +0000

Tickets for a bunch of Tool (and Puscifer) dates have gone on sale today, and according to your comments there have been a range of response from good to bad, with some people scoring good tickets, and other not getting much at all. Word is the ticketing system for the Dallas show was a mess (which wasn’t really unexpected) and that the Camden show seemed to sell out very fast. For those of you still in the hunt, I wish you all good luck!

In other news, Toolband has finally confirmed the tour, and added a few extra dates:

21st Jan, TBA
3rd Feb, TBA
4th Feb, Bojangles Coliseum, Charlotte, NC
6th Feb, Bank Atlantic Center, Ft Lauderdale, FL
7th Feb, UCF Arena, Orlando, FL

No word on on sale dates for these shows yet.

My guess is the 21st of January gig is likely to be Kansas and the 3rd of February could be NYC, Washington, or anything between New Jersey & Charlotte. No word on any California dates, and I expect at this stage it’s looking less and less likely to happen.

More dates announced for the 2012 Tool Tour

hellboy — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 21:52:27 +0000

A few more dates have trickled out for the Tool 2012 Winter Tour and for many happy fans they appear to be largely on the Northern and Eastern sections of your mighty continent. Date “confirmed” so far (with the new ones in bold):

14th Jan, Reno Events Center, Reno, NV
15th Jan, Mandalay Bay Events Center, Las Vegas, NV
17th Jan, Tuscon Arena, Tuscon AZ
18th Jan, Tingley Coliseum, Albuquerque NM
20th Jan, Verizon Arena, Dallas, TX
24th Jan, Huntington Center, Toledo, OH
25th Jan, Air Canada Centre, Toronto, Ontario

28th Jan, TD Garden, Boston, MA
29th Jan, Susquehanna Bank Center, Camden, NJ
31st Jan, Mohegan Sun Arena, Uncasville, CT
8th Feb, Gwinnet Arena, Duluth, GA

Presumably there’s a bunch of other dates still to be announced, presumably down south, as well as possibly one or two more in the middle of the US. I’d still expect a California date to be announced sometime at the beginning or end of the tour. For more details head over to our Tour page.

Update: There’s also a Vegas date I forgot to mention!

Further Tool Tour details emerge

hellboy — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 21:14:23 +0000

In the last few days there has been plenty of speculation, as well as a few changes by Ticketmaster regatrding the Tool tour. While still not confirmed officially by Blair or Toolband, the following dates have emerged:

14th Jan, Reno Events Center, Reno, NV
17th Jan, Tuscon Arena, Tuscon AZ
18th Jan, Tingley Coliseum, Albuquerque NM
20th Jan, Verizon Arena, Dallas, TX
24th Jan, Huntington Center, Toledo, OH
8th Feb, Gwinnet Arena, Duluth, GA

Allegedly some of these tickets go on sale on Friday, so keep your ears to the ground, and you wallets stuffed in preparation to get tickets…

Tool dates appear on Ticketmaster

hellboy — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 20:49:16 +0000

Seems like quite short notice for Tool dates, however it appears that two dates have been posted on ~~Ticketmaster~~ for shows in January:

17th Jan, Tuscon Arena, Tuscon AZ
18th Jan, Tingley Coliseum, Albuquerque NM

Tickets go on sale on the 16th of December. Thanks to all of you who emailed me!

Update: ticketmaster no longer shows those dates, however I am lead to believe that they (or at least the tour) are legitimate…

On The Road

hellboy — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 12:20:57 +0000

Well, the time has come for me to hit the road and check out a couple of Tool shows. As a result I’ll be largely offline the next couple of days, however via the wonders of mobile technology I will probably tweet now and then.

The first A Perfect Circle gig in the USA for 2011 has just been announced at the Rock On The Range Festival in Ohio. As more dates come I shall tweet them, and post a summary of them when I’m back in front of the PC this weekend. Thanks to Toolshed1502 for the tip. My advice is keep an eye on other prominent US festivals due to be announced in the coming weeks…

Too all the Tool fans travelling to Melbourne, I hope you get there in a safe and timely manner, and hopefully I’ll be seeing you at the BBQ tomorrow afternoon!

Another Tool video from the road

Maynard has posted another Tool video from the road, this time from the second Sydney Big Day Out show on the 27th. Video contains spoilers:

Brisbane Tool Review, Tool Twats, Sydney Posters

hellboy — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 01:18:24 +0000

Andrew from The Vine emailed me today a nice review he did of the Tool show in Brisbane last night. I won’t post any details here in order to avoid spoiling things for those trying to remain in the dark, but if you want more detail on the show last night then take a look at the review thread in our forum.

In other news Maynard appears to have convinced the holder of the @tool account on Twitter to hand it over to him, so stay tuned for some Tool related twats in the near future.

Speaking of Twitter, I’ve just noticed that Fourtheye’s twitter feed doesn’t seem to be including posts any more. Looks like the plugin I use doesn’t work since Twitter updated their login system. Stay tuned while I fix it, in the meantime I’ll probably just tweet things manually for a while!

Finally, the poster for the two Sydney Big Day Out shows has been posted up on Toolband. For the lazy here it is:

Gold Coast Poster/Shirt

hellboy — Mon, 24 Jan 2011 01:29:56 +0000

Jujano kindly shared with me a pic of the Gold Coast Big Day Out shirt he purchased. Poster is the same:

Update 2: Just as I post this, the Big Day Out site has published this on and the Brisbane one, which I must say looks fucking awesome:

Update 2: And so Toolband doesn’t miss out on the action they just posted the Auckland poster:
