Presumably this is the SoCal show that Blair has hinted at before. The gig is not yet confirmed on Toolband, but expect it… Read More »Tool play Epicenter 09
Blair has posted the May Tool Newsletter up on Toolband (not announced in the news – visit the newsletter page directly). It talks about Mormonism and the upcoming Salt Lake City show, but probably won’t do anything but frustrate those of you with little patience for Blair’s writings.
According to a recent post on the 93XRocks website: We had been promised a Tool concert in August, but 93X has just learned that the band was not able to schedule in a date for St. Paul, as earlier planned. Band management tells 93X that: “The band had every intention of playing St.Paul but they just couldn’t get the routing to work for this very short two-week mini tour.” Bad… Read More »Bad news for Minnesotans
Jza10304 from Toolarmy posted today that a new Tool date in Manchester, New Hampshire is now showing up on Ticketmaster. The gig will be at the Verizon Arena on the 2nd of August. Wait for official confirmation before getting too excited, but seems good to me!
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… Read More »New Tour Dates
Blair Someone has posted another cryptic article on Toolband/Army today, this time alluding to preparation for the upcoming tour: I and a few others have to go to California next week to start getting some things ready for this summer run.

According to a recent article on Blabbermouth: TOOL drummer Danny Carey told The Pulse of Radio that unlike some groups, the members of the band still travel together on the road. “We pretty much all travel together,” he said. “We kind of have to, you know, just for the logistics of everything going down. The schedule gets pretty tight, especially at the beginning of the tour, ’cause there are lots… Read More »Danny Comments on the Tour
A couple of readers emailed me to let me know that A Perfect Circle will be appearing on Guitar Hero 5. Details of this news and other bands announced can be found at Rolling Stone. No word on what track will appear, but I’d put my money on it being Judith. A couple of tour changes were announced on Toolband today. Firstly the Atlanta show which appeared to have a… Read More »APC on Guitar Hero 5, Atlanta change
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… Read More »Toronto Rumour, Danny’s Drum
