Tool Announce Spring Headline Tour Dates

03-12-2019

Tool have revealed a series of headline tour dates this spring, in addition to music festival appearances, as fans await the announcement of their long awaited new studio album.

The band's live plans will be kicking off with an appearance at this year's Welcome To Rockville festival on May 5th and wrapping up on May 19th at the 2019 Chicago Open Air Festival.

In addition to the festival appearance, the group has announced headline dates including stops in Alabama, Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, Missouri, Nebraska and Iowa.

Late last week, Tool shared a photo via social media featuring members of the band that appeared to be with mastering engineer Bob Ludwig (Tool, Radiohead) standing before a mastering console, leading to speculation that the mixing of their new record has been completed.

Frontman Maynard James Keenan tweeted back in February, "Midway through mixing. Most likely be a few recalls. Then some arguing. Then Mastering, Artwork, Video, Special Packaging, etc. Best Ballpark Guess- Release date somewhere between Mid May and Mid July. More focused updates to follow as we progress."
