TOOL might be making progress working on a new album, but I guess they want to get out of the studio and let the material breathe a bit. The band have announced a series of dates
03/04 Spokane, WA @ Spokane Arena
03/06 Portland, OR @ MODA Center
03/07 Eugene, OR @ Matthew Knight Arena
03/09 Reno, NV @ Reno Event Center
03/11 San Francisco, CA @ Bill Graham Civic Auditorium
03/12 San Francisco, CA @ Bill Graham Civic Auditorium
03/14 Fresno, CA @ Selland Arena
03/15 Las Vegas, NV @ Planet Hollywood
03/16 San Diego, CA @ Valley View Arena
03/18 Mexico City, MEX @– Palacio De Los Deportes
03/21 Veracruz, MEX @ Festival Cumbre Tajin
03/24 Austin, TX @ Cedar Park Center
03/25 Houston, TX @ Toyota Center
03/27 Phoenix, AZ @ US Airways Center
I guess that Las Vegas residency is off the table. But if you haven't seen Tool, this is a great chance for you to take in one of the best live experiences in rock. If you have seen Tool, this isn't exactly a necessary spend as they will most likely be playing the same live show they have in recent years.
