Tool – Paris – Nihil
Oliver tells me that the French band Nihil will be supporting Tool on their Paris show on the 28th of June. The name rings a bell, but I can’t say I’ve ever heard any of their music. Hope they’re good!

Tour Dates Confirmed and Changed
Blair on Toolband/Army has confirmed that Tool will be playing in Japan on the 12th of August in Osaka and the 13th of August in Tokyo. I think the Osaka date is part of the Summersonic Festival, but I’m not sure if the Tokyo show is also part of this, or a standalone Tool show. Hopefully Australian dates are coming soon….. Blair also confirmed that the German show in Berlin… Read More »Tour Dates Confirmed and Changed
Promo Poster, Euro Dates
orange.juice on Toolnavy posted today that he found this image on a German promoters(?) website: Stating the bleeding obvious, it’s pretty much just an extended version of the existing 10,000 Days cover. No confirmation though whether this is official or when it’s just a fan-made rendering based on Alex Grey’s artpiece. He also noted that one of the German shows has changed to a bigger venue. If you’re a German… Read More »Promo Poster, Euro Dates

New Tool Article
Darkmoogle has brought to my attention a new Tool article. I’m not 100% sure, but it looks like it’s from a magazine called Rock Sound, presumably a British mag since it mentions the Download Festival. There’s a scan of the article below, but in case you don’t feel like squinting: It confirms that 10,000 Days is the name of the CD Tracks include “Rosetta Stoned”, “Lost Keys (Blame Hoffman)” and… Read More »New Tool Article
Tool Tour Dates Confirmed?
The recent post on Toolband/Army with the ‘confirmed’ tour dates seems to be growing shorter and shorter. Gone are some dates in Amsterdam and London. There has been no word on why these dates are gone, so for the moment I recommend every out there treat that list as not 100% confirmed, and therefore don’t go planning your life around it. The list as it currently stands is: 5/26 –… Read More »Tool Tour Dates Confirmed?
Download Festival
According to the Download Festival’s website Tool are headlining on the first night, Friday the 9th of June. From what I understand the Download Festival is held in the UK, and seems to be highly commercialised! Good to see one of the headliners on the show aren’t old has-beens (I hope…..)

According to a recent modification on Wikipedia, Tool are schedueled to play on the Super Rock Festival in Lisbon, Portugal in late May. I can’t seem to find anything confirming this so think of it what you will……
