Blair has recently made a post on Toolband to confirm what we already know – that Tool are playing a couple of festivals this year:
These two shows have been confirmed, with more to follow. I’ve been told that there will be ToolArmy pre-sales, but haven’t received the details yet. As soon as more dates are confirmed, they will be posted, along with the pre-sale information.
- Jul 18 2009 – Mile High Music Festival – Commerce City, CO, USA
- Aug 01 2009 – Liberty State Park – Jersey City, NJ (Ed: All Points West Festival)
Tickets on sale: April 6
The opportunity for Toolarmy Pre-Sales is interesting. Hopefully they can devise a pre-sale method that works better than the last tours. No word on Lollapalooza yet it seems, but given that the lineup hasn’t been officially announced I guess it’s no surprise.
I’ve said this before in various comments, and I’ll say it again for those that don’t read them – I expect the summer “tour” may not amount to more than a handful of festival gigs. Those hoping for a full US tour I imagine will be disappointed. I’ll gladly be proven wrong though!
