Europe

Tool have been confirmed as playing the Novarock Festival, which correct me if I’m wrong – is held in Austria. There’s actually a couple of other decent bands on this line-up, including Massive Attack, Placebo and Lagwagon. Oh and Alter Bridge, they rock don’t they….

Apparently it’s been confirmed that Tool are playing at Le Zénith in Paris, France on the 28th of June.  This supposedly is a suggestion that Tool may be playing shows other than festival dates.  I’m sure there’s plenty of Europeans fans hoping to hear that….

Pinkpop in The Netherlands *cheers* The usual offenders seem to be playing with them, and hi to all my mates in The Netherlands, wish I could go…. http://www.pinkpop.nl/page.php?pagID=203

For you lucky Germans, Tool are also playing the Rock-Am-Ring Festival from the 2nd to the 4th of June.  Check out the website here: http://www.rock-am-ring.de/newsitem.html?objId=13 Thanks to the_betterfly on TA for that one.

It has been five years since the album Lateralus, presenting introvert art-rock with metal tendencies. In 2006, a new album is coming, and Tool makes its second appearance at Roskilde. The journey into Tool’s tunnelling compositions is fascinating. The… Read More »Tour Announced

Tool are heavily rumoured to be touring Europe in mid-2006.  iamurmama on Toolnavy claimed that in today’s (24-Jan-06?) issue of the Danish paper Politiken, there was a note claiming that Tool will be playing at Roskilde Festival in Denmark (June 29 – July 2).  Now, whether or not we decide to trust someone with a user name like I Am Your Mama, is an issue, however according to the Roskilde… Read More »Roskilde Announcement Imminent

aToolAhead on Toolarmy posts that: I got this info from a very (lets emphasize that…VERY) close source to someone in TOOL…that TOOL will be in UK in June/July and in Scandinavia sometime in late July. I checked with aToolAhead, and presuming he’s not making shit up, the source he mentions IS very close to the band, making the news very reliable.  Simply from a logical point of view, the idea… Read More »Tool in UK June/July, Scandinavia July
