Tool has been working on their follow-up to their 2006 release, 10,000 Days. They offered brief update on February 16, according to Rolling Stone, saying that they changed up where they are working. The band temporarily moved some of their gear to a larger space across town to give Maynard James Keenan more space. Keenan is working on vocals for some of the new material in this new setting. The update had this to say of Keenan’s work, “I’m sure that he has already been doing this to some extent, but now he has more room to breathe and a better vocal booth.”
The Tool frontman is also working with his other project, A Perfect Circle, toward their follow up to 2004’s eMOTIVe. He will be touring with the band for a majority of April and in a week of May.
UPDATE (3/13): More dates have been added to the tour in June, seen below.
Tool Spring 2017 Tour Dates:
UPDATE (4/11): Tool has announced mega-show in Southern California on June 24. The band will be joined by Primus, Melvins and The Crystal Method.
UPDATE (5/5): According to Alternative Nation, Tool has announced the opening acts for their tour. For the first leg of the tour, which runs from 5/24 in Fairfax, VA to 6/9 in St. Paul, MN, the opening act will be up and coming indie/prog/psych act Once and Future Band. They may sound like an unknown act to most Tool fans, but the group just released an excellent self-titled debut in January and are a group on the rise.
The other opening act is not as much of a surprise, though they are a much bigger name. The Crystal Method, previously announced as an opening act for the 6/24 show in San Bernardino, will open up the dates from Calgary, Alberta on 6/12 until the show at Glen Helen Amphitheatre.
