Adam sent me an email today to let me know that tickets for Tool’s Kingston gig in Canada are still available:

Tickets for Kingston show went on sale June 27 at 10:00am. Just checked venue site http://www.k-rockcentre.com/ at 10:50pm June 30 , still GA available and I’m assuming killer seats. Let everyone know!! Not on sale through Ticketbastard!

For those of you still deciding when and where to see Tool, then this might be a good option.

Reports from the K-Rock Centre website suggest that Tool are playing in Kingston, Ontario in Canada on the 4th of August. Tickets go on sale this Friday at 10am local time.  This gig is not confirmed on Toolband as I write this.

Been away hiking through the Flinders Ranges the last couple of days, so have been a bit slack with the updates.

In case any of you have missed it, there have been a couple of new dates confirmed on the upcoming Tool summer tour.  Toronto has been confirmed, and a new show in Cincinnatti has been added:

• AUGUST 5/09 – Toronto, ON – Molson Amphitheatre / ON-SALE 6/13
• AUGUST 7/09 – Cincinnati, OH – PNC Pavilion / ON-SALE 6/20

In other Tool-ish news, check out the Offline by Matthew Santoro thread for much “Big Thing” speculation, including comments from Tool Lighting Dude Junior.

I was forwarded an email just a moment ago from Hodge at Toolnavy, while confirms that Tool are playing in Toronto on the 6th of August at the Molson Ampittheatre.  Great news for those Canadians hoping for a show! (unless you don’t live anywhere near Toronto)

Got an email today talking of “rumours flying around” about a Toronto Tool gig at the Molson Ampitheatre on the 7th of August. Seems to fit into their current schedule, but I’ve heard nothing concrete at this stage.  Have added this to the rumours section on the  Tour Page.

Also, Blair posted an article on Toolband talking about a Volto! gig on the 5th of June.  Included with the article is this cool pic of Danny with a snare drum featuring some Alex Grey artwork.
