Tool, who was set to go on tour right as the pandemic hit year and a half ago, have just announced their newest tour dates, adding a European leg to their upcoming tour. The band has announced over 30 tour dates, kicking off their tour in Eugene, Oregon on January 10 and finishing off in Cleveland, Ohio on March 20th before heading off to Europe for the second leg of the tour set to on May 24 in Budapest, Hungary.The tour will have Blonde Redhead on board as the opening act from Jan. 10 through Feb. 10, while The Acid Helps take over the opening slot from Feb. 19 to March 20.
Tickets for all shows will go on sale this Friday (Oct. 1) at 10AM local time, while the U.K. and Irish dates go on sale at 9AM local time. U.S. pre-sale tickets are available on Sept. 29 at 10AM local time (36 hour pre-sale window). A selection of exclusive packages, which include a pre-sale ticket, will also be made available to TOOL Army members on Sept. 29 at 10AM local time. Pre-sale tickets and other exclusive packages are available on the Tools website, with more options available for Tool Army members.
The announcement for the tour comes a number of months after frontman Maynard James Keenan revealed that he ended up in the emergency room last fall after contracting COVID-19 for second time. He speaks about his battle with COVID-19 on the Joe Rogan podcast, and has luckily made enough of a recovery to be able to go on the road again. As COVID-19 restrictions ease up around the country and world, the band will also have an easier time getting to venues, even with the extended periods between their European dates in order to allow for COVID restrictions to be met.
