Tool Tour Spring-Summer 2006 - confirmed shows and rumours

[Perseensilmä]

I think tour dates, confirmed or just rumoured shows should be collected in one place. There are millions of threads already on this subject, so it would probably be simpler and easier to have them all in one place.

[toolloot]

Excellent. I might have to go to Leeds now.

[gerbil]

I still say that this is going to give us an excellent idea of when the album's coming out.

[Foamy]

Excellent. I might have to go to Leeds now.
.

[ARMZ]

It seems those dates will mimic the promo tour...

Europe, England, Japan and Australia

[TurdEye13]

April is looking mighty fine

[millermt]

I'm doubting the Leeds show in late August. They'll surely be back in the US by then.

[Bogart]

nowhere near me so i dont care

[Windir]

No Netherlands? ... fuckers.

[ARMZ]

I'm doubting the Leeds show in late August. They'll surely be back in the US by then.
They'll do the U.S last, although there will be the mini tour, but like I said the dates so far seem to be in line with the promo dates, not the actual dates but in which country they will tour first, then second and so on...

[Perseensilmä]

No Netherlands? ... fuckers.

I haven´t heard any rumours about Netherlands. Have you heard anything?


List will of course be updated when new information is available. If you have rumours or anything, post it here.


Also, I´d expect a Swedish date around July 4 - 9. What festivals are held then? There hasn´t been any info yet but if Quart is almost confirmed, Ruisrock has said that Tool is possible then it would see like there would be some room for a Swedish date.

[Windir]

If I knew anything about Tool coming to Netherlands I wouldnt react like that. I hope they do more than 1 or 2 shows though. Damn. I want to see them 10 times, at LEAST!

[Perseensilmä]

Isn´t Roskilde or some Rock am Deutschland festival near enough?

[Windir]

Rock Am Ring? Maybe... there is also a Belgium festival near. But I cant go to either of those, which makes it really hard + the fact that I really dislike festivals for no particular reason at all... I just hate'm.

[Perseensilmä]

I was referring to both of those German festivals (Rock am Ring, Rock in Park). I am pretty sure that Tool will perform there.

Festivals are cool. Only thing that bothers a bit about those is that they´ll probably play a shorter set and since it´s Summer there wont be as dark as it should be. Or maybe not, if it´s night it will be great anyway.

[Windir]

Mweh. It would be cool to see them performing but I'm pretty sure Tool will come to Netherlands when they're doing their European Tour (whenever that will be). I'll be patient and wait for that to come. I'll probably have the first 5 tickets of each concert. Harrr harrrrrr!

[moneyisevil]

cant wait for some dates in the US tour..hopefully they do another mini-tour, which TA members can get presale tickets to!

[Lateral Undertow]

cant wait for some dates in the US tour..hopefully they do another mini-tour, which TA members can get presale tickets to!

I am definately hoping for a mini tour starting from the album release date and going up to the first festival they play in Europe. Wherever they come in the mid-west I will be there. I need to see them before I start med school in August.

[Goldfoot]

Where did the rumors come from? Specifically the Reading one.

[Emperor]

I can't wait to see if Schism is right and the album is called Firefly! KEKEKEE

[Isac Khrondor]

If they play the UK festivals us British ones should deffinatly meet up.

[TheInsideSource]

Suddenly that nauseous feeling in my stomach just got stronger... You see, I'm currently on a placement and if TOOL tour England in June/early July, then there's a strong chance I may miss them... I've been praying to God that they come sometime in August.

[millermt]

I'd say you might as well throw up then because so far this tour is mapping out a lot like the Lateralus tour, and for that one they were never in Europe for longer than a month and a half at a stretch.

[hanger25934]

yeah who the fuck wants to hang out in england?

[Isac Khrondor]

At least I don't live in "......."

[haich]

england wins.

[millermt]

england wins.


England definitely beats ....... and New Jersey!

[Mooseifer]

yeah who the fuck wants to hang out in england?

not you and thank fuck for that

[haich]

^hah!

[Foamy]

not you and thank fuck for that
Haha

[pornstarchampion]

All I want to know is when are they going to say anything on Toolband?

[SpiralOutKeepGoing]

All I want to know is when are they going to say anything on Toolband?

never. the cd will just appear on the shelves.

[Underalus]

Is flying from Canada to see Tool at Coachella worth it. I do really really like a couple other bands that will be there and have heard good things about some of the other bands I haven't listened too. Also, I plan on visiting family which I probably would have done sometime in the summer regardless. Coachella is just the incentive to go at that particular time, but it may be a little rushed. Do you think I should just wait till they swoop back around to the states in july/august to see them or should I take advantage of Coachella? Thanks for the input.

Also, I do plan on seeing them when they come to Canada as well, but I do want to see them more than once.

[Hodge]

edit

[hanger25934]

yeah "............" is cool . j/k guys i've never even been to england.

[Timothy]

I'd say you might as well throw up then because so far this tour is mapping out a lot like the Lateralus tour, and for that one they were never in Europe for longer than a month and a half at a stretch.

I hope it does follow the same pattern as the Lateralus tour. Australia twice, more specifically. I missed them both times in 02, I'm not going to let that happen again.

[Ryan]

not you and thank fuck for that

*claps*

[Foamy]

Morning Ryan.

[Tertius Oculum]

KWEH!

[5th Eye]

Sticky this please.

[Perseensilmä]

Rock am Ring is official

Added. Thanks for the info.

[josef k.]

According to you,the european tour will be only festivals?

I fear that they'll never come in Italy...

[millermt]

I hope it does follow the same pattern as the Lateralus tour. Australia twice, more specifically. I missed them both times in 02, I'm not going to let that happen again.

They seem to like playing Australasia, so I'd bet they'll hit that region a couple of times (assuming they tour for a couple years again).

[PheelyTogetherForever]

i'm going to all the michigan shows.

[orange.juice]

Rock am Ring & Rock im Park
Germany
June 02-04
confirmed


YESYESYES!!!!

Next good news to hopefully come up: Tool does headline performances around here.

[Goldfoot]

i'm going to all the michigan shows.

That's my goal. :)

[Christoff]

I just hope they stop by in Scotland for at least one show, preferably in Glasgow where I am.

[millermt]

I'll go to every show in New Jersey, Eastern Pennsylvania, Southeastern New York and Connecticut (hopefully around 5 or so).

[SpiralOutKeepGoing]

I'll go to every show in New Jersey, Eastern Pennsylvania, Southeastern New York and Connecticut (hopefully around 5 or so).

Yay for Eastern PA!

[Underalus]

I'm going to the shows closest to me in Ontario, probably New York cause I can stay with my brother, perhaps philly, perhaps coachella/LA shows. God, I can't wait. At least two for sure, I've got cash saved since I was twice denied seeing them during Lateralus tour.

[Ktuluvic]

I'd say no, but it's more of a personal thing. I tend to hate festivals because you don't get the full set. It's kinda like the lite no calorie version of their set. They get limited time compared to them doing their own tour, and they won't have all their toys (vid screens and props). Although if you like other bands there and have the money to burn, it would be fun just to go. But a festival show won't compare to a full on tool show.

All that time and money just to see Tool, see I would go if the other bands there, were bands I like, but there aren't any, Franz Fucking Ferdinand bothers me.

[hanger25934]

kabir said MJK emailed and the album should be out soon, they'll tour europe then the U.S. after. i smell a mini tour!!! SOON!

[Goldfoot]

Kabir is kinda late on this one. Blair said the album IS mastered, while Kabir said it's almost done.

[millermt]

Pinkpop 3 - 5 june confirmed. Location Landgraaf/the Netherlands

It's true. (http://www.pinkpop.nl/page.php?pagID=203&newID=94)

How comes everywhere Tool goes Franz Ferdinand doesn't seem far behind?

Maybe it's the other way around.

Quart Festival - CONFIRMED

[Ryan]

Quart Festival - CONFIRMED

now confirm an australian tour for me and i will gladly lick the rim of your anus.

[Chris_Brightwell]

now confirm an australian tour for me and i will gladly lick the rim of your anus.In that case, Tool will never tour Australia again.

[Ryan]

psh. you'd let me lick it in a second.

[UtUmNo1]

[ARMZ]

Would Tool tour with Audrey Horne? maybe? no? yes? don't give a fuck?

http://www.mp3.com/stories/3155.html

[TOOLEK]

I heard rumours about Tool concert in Poland to be precise in Gdansk. I hope it is true (my dream is to be there).

My first post, soon there will be more:)

[Nebel]

Would Tool tour with Audrey Horne? maybe? no? yes? don't give a fuck?

[Windir]

Pink Pop - Confirmed as you all know by now. I'm going to see them then. From 3th till 5th of June I will be rockin'my ass off. Only bands that are confirmed so far are: Anouk * Franz Ferdinand * Placebo * Tool * Racoon.
Tool and Placebo are bands I HAVE to see. FF is on my list too. I dont care much for Anouk (dutch whore) or Racoon (roflmao).

[kabir]

me? late? never.

email from mjk that morning was that he was in maine mastering. toolband and tdn occasionally have slightly different info ... i'll leave it to you about who makes more sense =)

[champion]

They seem to like playing Australasia.

Too much Pelican, huh?

[Ertai]

Yay for Eastern PA!
yay for NorthEastern PA! (Scranton Area)

[Grudge76]

Tool is heavilly rumored to be playing Rock Werchter 2006.

Aparently this list is accurate to about 90%, (RHCP being one band that will not play), and it seems likely given their touring nature


http://blitzkriegnoise.blogspot.com/2006/01/werchter-2006-de-eerste-namen.html

[hanger25934]

i saw deftones is also going to be at rock am ring. i would love to be there if maynard comes out and they jam " passenger" . i think that is one of the coolest songs ever. just a thought. also isn't this festival useually aired live online/TV somewhere?

[3poundsoflove]

19/06 Milano, Forum di Assago
21/06 Roma, Centrale Del Tennis Foro Italico
22/06 Bologna, Land Rover Arena.

these ones are confirmed

[Grudge76]

In 2001 Deftones & Tool performed at Werchter -> no passenger
In 2003 Deftones & A Perfect Cirlce concert -> no passenger

Im actually pretty sure they DID perform Passenger at Werchter for some reason... i have a bootleg from one of the european deftones shows (99% sure it was werchter), and it has Passenger with Maynard

Though i read about em playing it at the Canada show as well, but im not sure on that one.

[Grudge76]

Checking it out a bit more...

8-4-00 Summersault 2000 in Vancouver

Passenger w/Maynard



Not sure about Werchter, However.... They did it at Roskilde in 01 also.

As far as i know those are the only two.

[CurtSchilling]

Rock Werchter has been confirmed:

http://www.rockwerchter.be/rw2006/splash_06.asp

Tool not yet on the list, but they will play there Thursday June 29, sharing main stage that day with the Chili Peppers.

Daniel

[hanger25934]

says who? thanks

[Windir]

Tool not yet on the list, but they will play there Thursday June 29, sharing main stage that day with the Chili Peppers.

I just read on that RHCP will be the closing band on PinkPop this year. That's frickin' awesome.

[Grudge76]

Another Festival.... with Korn this time? haha

you said it. they get the album a day before and they got all these sexy Tool dates.

[Chris_Brightwell]

they got all these sexy Tool dates.Bleh. Massive festival dates? I'll pass.

[Perseensilmä]

you said it. they get the album a day before

AT LEAST a day before...


Also; Chris you should try European festivals, nothing better.

[Chris_Brightwell]

Also; Chris you should try European festivals, nothing better.I'd rather see Tool in a room with 2,000 of my best friends than 20,000 of them. Or 200,000.

[Perseensilmä]

It´s not about what you´d rather see. I get to go to a festival and in addition I will see Tool.

[moneyisevil]

why can't america have cool festivals

[Perseensilmä]

Judgement

[Chris_Brightwell]

why can't america have cool festivalsWe do. Coachella, Bonnaroo, Lollpalooza, etc.

[Perseensilmä]

You call THOSE cool?

[Isac Khrondor]

But you don't have Glastonbury, Reading/Leeds or Donnington.

Glastonbury > Any other festival

[Chris_Brightwell]

Glastonbury > Any other festivalOnly if there's someone you want to see *and* you care for the festival atmosphere.

Most of the people I'd like to see live don't do the festival circuits, nor would I want to see them in crowds that large.

Just my $0.02 USD.

[CurtSchilling]

Agreed, festivals are fun but for the musical experience? Nah.

Hmm, when you are close to the stage it's not that bad. But since there are so many people who want to be in front... that's usually quiet hard to achieve. As in: you have to be there during/before the show before the one you want to see. Which means you have to 'suffer' a band you don't want to see while you are missing other bands that are playing elsewhere on the festival.

Not a problem if the reward is Tool though...

Daniel

[Windir]

Bleh. Massive festival dates? I'll pass.

That's what I said for several years. But I cant miss a festival who announced Tool, Placebo & Franz Ferdinand on stage and RHCP as end of the Festival. I just have to go to that one. I'm excited to hear what other bands will come.

PinkPop this year is going to be great.

[Chris_Brightwell]

That's what I said for several years. But I cant miss a festival who announced Tool, Placebo & Franz Ferdinand on stage and RHCP as end of the Festival. I just have to go to that one. I'm excited to hear what other bands will come.No, believe me, I totally understand that. I just can't pick a festival with 50,000 people and 10 bands that I love over a small club show with 300 people and one band that I just kind of enjoy.

[Perseensilmä]

That´s kinda "stupid" to think like that. We don´t have to choose, neither do we have a chance to choose. The thing is that Tool plays at festivals, period. I would understand your point if Tool played a festival gig and the next day they played a club gig 100000 kilometres away. Then there would have to be a choice but not in this case. Well, if I had to choose I´d probably go to a club but I don´t mind seeing Tool playing some awesome festival gigs.

[InertUniformity]

I would imagine that Tool would be much better in an indoor venue...however i still am jealous of all that will be going on in Europe.

Does anyone here remember when lollapalooza kicked ass? Somebody with an appreciation for art ought to make that festival great again...

[Chris_Brightwell]

That´s kinda "stupid" to think like that. ... Excuse me for having an opinion.

[Chris_Brightwell]

I would imagine that Tool would be much better in an indoor venue...however i still am jealous of all that will be going on in Europe. I've seen Tool 9 times since 1997, and the best show to date was in a thunderstorm (during a tornado warning) in Birmingham, AL.

[Bogart]

Was that in '02 Brightwell?

[Perseensilmä]

... Excuse me for having an opinion.

No, no. I understood you. I just tried to say that probably people shouldn´t think what they would prefer because there really isn´t a choice.

[hanger25934]

I've seen Tool 9 times since 1997, and the best show to date was in a thunderstorm (during a tornado warning) in Birmingham, AL.
that is badass

[Chris_Brightwell]

Was that in '02 Brightwell?October 13, 2001. Oak Mountain Ampthitheater (which has since been purchased by Verizon and renamed).

The best part of the whole night was during Ænema, when Maynard belts out, "I'm praying for rain." Right at that moment, Jr. took a cue from mother nature and flooded the entire audience area with blue lights. He lit up every single drop of rain in that place.

Talk about a knock-you-on-your-ass moment.

[moneyisevil]

The US does have some cool festivals, but it seems Europe takes the cake, they know how to throw a festival..also when Live 8 came out..who got the best line up? Europle! Why? Pink Floyd!

And Brightwell, I do agree with you, I'd rather see Tool in a small club rather than a festival , but honestly, is that even gonna happen? I doubt Tool will play a venue that holds less than 10,ooo (crosses fingers for Hammerstein)

[Lamb & Martyr^]

I wish there would be more festivals in the U.S. Euro's get all the fun.

[not_okay]

It has just been anounced that TOOL will play in Katowice, Poland on the 24th of June. I could not have wished for a better place and a better date. Thank you lord, thank you lord.

[Ktuluvic]

I tend to not really like festivals, although I've never been to a real one like coachella or bonaroo, just ozzfest and warped tour. I'd like to go to one of the big european ones, that seems like it would be a fun experience.

[Isac Khrondor]

Only if there's someone you want to see *and* you care for the festival atmosphere.

Well.. obviously.

I wouldn't go to a festival if I didn't enjoy going to them or didn't want to see any of the bands there.

[orange.juice]

It has just been anounced that TOOL will play in Katowice, Poland on the 24th of June. I could not have wished for a better place and a better date. Thank you lord, thank you lord.
Hey, i´m born in Tarnowice, it´s cool that Tool go to Poland. Have a nice evening there with Tool, dude!

According to the music magazine "Visions" Tool´s playback date for the german press was yesterday. They also wrote that 3 headline dates in Germany were planned, however the confirmation was expected to take place today but nothing happened.

seeing as how tool will be making the rounds in washington early May. i realized there is a spot in between NIN and HIM the open day of the sasquatch festival that says special guest TBA.

sasquatch festival is at the GORGE in washington May long weekend. getting my tickets this weekend.

THIS IS NOT CONFIRMED. IT COULD BE ANYONE. JUST STATING THE POSSIBILITY

[teleincision]

Hopefully i will get to see them this tour, if i dont i will probebly just stop being a fan of tool... because i have never been to 1 tool concert, and if it takes me another 5 years to get the chance to see them, that is too long.....

Tool are playing in Assago, Roma and Bologna in june. Tickets are on sale.

[embracingyou]

Now when are they gonna play England! :(

[hanger25934]

in june i think. look it up in the tour dates section

edit. i looked for you. they're playing the reading festival in august.

[embracingyou]

Yeah, supposedly, but no one has been announced for Reading thus far this year. I think they'll play Download in mid June...possibly headline the Friday, the only day left open for a headliner.

[clarity.]

i don't live in italy. this news sucks.

[rsh]

oscar mayer had a first name..

[Fulcanelli]

i don't live in italy. this news sucks.

I'm planning to visit some family in Italy soon... so why not in June? Seriously, this news doesn't suck for one reason: the dates are in June so the new CD shouldn't be delayed past May. I still say the release date will be 666.

[Unifaun]

playing between NIN and HIM... what a pitiful thing.

[Micky]

Hey guys,

Best news I've heard all year. I live in Ireland, me and 3 others are going to the show in Rome. Should be an unbelievable holiday, 12 days in the sunshine which we don't get too much over here. Low price airlines and tool tickets were only 150 euro each. Now all I have to do is convince everyone to go to the Bologna show the next day. It's a bit of a treck tho, about 250 miles from Rome-Bologna.

I'm a bit worried though because these shows are still unconfirmed in the tour section of this site. Should I be? I mean are they just being extra cautious about dates? Is anyone else going to these shows?
We've actually bought the tickets already so I hope they will confirm the damn shows soon!

My first post!

[abrack29]

666... that's like August 5th or something.

[Johnny Truant]

June 6, 2006 is 666

[KILL_CLOWNS]

And IS a tuesday...I wonder how many retarded metal bands will release albums on that day because 666 is oooh so coool.

[Citizen Erased]

It has just been anounced that TOOL will play in Katowice, Poland on the 24th of June. I could not have wished for a better place and a better date. Thank you lord, thank you lord.

That's my birthday! If only I lived in Poland...

...i'm holding out for Reading/Leeds confirmation. Glastonbury isn't on this year, so i'm hoping Tool will do Carling. Only problem is, with there being no Glastonbury, tickets for all other festivals and gonna sell REAL fast.

[Pineal]

For months now I have been getting this sinking feeling that I'm going to miss the first Melbourne show (assuming that they will come back here again). I'm going to be in India, Nepal and Tibet from mid-May to Mid-November and going by the dates that have been emerging for a while now, it would seem that Tool will hit Australia around the August-September period. I'm hoping that they'll do Europe and then a MASSIVE US tour but it seems unlikely.

Still, all hope is not lost. The second time around I'll take off to Sydney for hopefully two shows (which I believe they did on both legs of the Lateralus tour?) and maybe to Brisbane if I have enough money.
