There has to be a purpose to this show, right?

There is. They're playing music for their fans in exchange for money.

Money and it's close to where May Jay lives.

Be cool if it was part of promoting some new release but let's not hold our breaths.

Well i see no verbiage saying "only show this year" which if i remember right Rivers Edge was announced that way...

I think both Tool and Primus fit in the Riot Fest lineup very well, and Coheed is already there...

If it all works out i might get to see Tool twice this year

think it's an opportunity to make some $ while not having to go far, another set of their "best hits" is what I'm expecting, regardless still plan on going and having a good time

Hope for the best but expect the worst.

I would hold off until an announcement from an official Tool source before reading into any verbiage.

....and it's on Halloween! Keep forgetting that minor detail

I'm not sure the rationale, but I can only imagine playing one show, even with a reduced stage show, is a big money loser. The overhead would require multiple shows. That is, if making a profit is the goal.

You know exactly what I meant by that. A single show out of nowhere just doesn't makes sense. As ravenpig said we still have the "wait for it" announcement.

I hope you're right, but what good reason do we have to think the festival announcement wasn't the "wait for it...."? Is it just because the show date isn't posted on toolband yet?

Post by **UndKeineZwEier** » Mon Jun 22, 2015 7:22 pm

It's a show in Arizona, near where Maynard lives and works, with Primus, who are good friends with Tool, on Halloween.

That makes sense to me.

It's worth considering what Hellboy had to say earlier as well.

hellboy wrote:Speaking of contracts though, it's no unusual for festival headliners to be booked a year in advance, so it could just be the case that Tool thought they'd be ready release an album and tour by then, but never got that far and are still contractually obliged to do so. Nor is the financial penalty for pulling out worth it (and/or the pay for the show is pretty good - festivals tend to be easy money for bands).

I'm not saying that there isn't more to this, but I do think it is completely possible that this is just a one off deal.

I'm leaning towards what you said, but i'm still hoping there's something bigger to be announced. I think we all are.. Cmon Tool gods, deliver!

Toolband.com confirms show.... no other news.

Just dont buy on Ticketmaster.

Well.. Now i'm going to Arizona I guess.

youre too nice.... Tool will tour when the new album comes out. So you will be able to see them live again at some point. I cant justify giving them more money for the shit they are dragging us through. They need to give the fans something new. The last time Tool released music my son wasnt even born.... hes in 2nd grade now.

Ok.....I'll go out on a limb here and say.......that is the wait for it. Now we'll c about 7-3

When 10,000 Days came out my son wasn't even born yet, now he's still not born. What the fuck, Tool? Where's my son?

And you too, Kittaan? I've been waiting a long time for that kid you promised me.

Post by **UndKeineZwEier** » Mon Jun 22, 2015 8:06 pm

The more I think about it, the less likely I think it is that there is anything more to this. October is not an awfully long ways away, if they're planning any sort of tour I think they would have announced it.

Although, I guess it is possible that they might be holding off on announcing a tour, for a bit, so as not to overshadow the festival announcement.

I think some sort of Salival-like curveball release is possible, but I think now would've been a good time to announce it. That said, knowing how Tool works they could want it to be out by October, but aren't announcing it because it isn't close enough to being finished to put a date on it. Which isn't exactly encouraging, given how the Opiate reissue was handled, it's quite possible this thing won't be out until October 2016!

With all the delays, these guys have put themselves under a huge amount of pressure to put out a good/great album. I mean, imagine if they finally finish this record and it **shudders** sucks?

ROCK COMBO: DAY 2 + DAY 3
ON SALE FRIDAY JUNE 26
a special limited availability 2-day combo ticket will be available
for saturday and sunday's shows for $169, plus fees

Who thinks Puscifer is the unannounced band for Sunday?

also they have a discounted hotel stay using this LINK... they will go fast so book now probably...

Post by **UndKeineZwEier** » Mon Jun 22, 2015 9:39 pm

It seems likely that if Puscifer were the unannounced band for Sunday, it would have been announced today. I don't know why they would announce Tool but keep Puscifer secret. I think they would actually do it the other way around.

Hold on, Blair specifically wrote in the post that Tool tickets can be bought "Saturday only"
