[Dharma Bear]

Very nice my friend. I wish I could be more excited, but im in the US. But its awsome to see them gearing up for the tour!

well looks like an American Tour late summer, excluding April's show.

[Cucumber_11]

YES! Hammersmith Apollo! Fucking yes. Thats me i'm going... both nights.

*cream*

[Dharma Bear]

well looks like an American Tour late summer, excluding April's show.

That sounds fair enough. I had a bet with my cronies, that Tool would be around our neighborhood around the Fall. We'll find out soon enough.......

[champion]

YEAH! YES! HMH hear I come. 27-6 Tool 28-6 birthday of my daughter!

WHICH IS MORE IMPORTANT?!

[millermt]

Probably on to Australia and Japan from there before returning to the US. So hopefully US tour begins around early August!

[flipmojo]

well looks like an American Tour late summer, excluding April's show.

Yeah. There will most likely be about 6-8 shows in the US before they set out on this big Euro festival tour. Then it looks like the US will get their first major tour sometime in late July - August.

[DirtyBanana]

TOOL TO PLAY IN HAMBURG!!!!!!!!

i just jizzed allover the place.

[Khadgar346]

look who's talking, person with 8 or so posts.

haha
oh yeah? Tool Army is where I mostly post, but just look at when I joined these msg boards :<

[Staticfactory]

I'm just curious as to what Blair was talking about...

"Only problem is, with regards to the Hamburg, Germany show and the Interlaken Festival in Switzerland, I'm not sure which one I'd rather be at... (since there is no June 1st show)"

That particular show falls on 06/06/06. What's the Interlaken Festival all about?

[flipmojo]

Probably on to Australia and Japan from there before returning to the US. So hopefully US tour begins around early August!

I didn't think about that. They could probably fill up the rest of July with those dates and then a break before starting a US tour. So I'm thinking the US tour will begin in August at the earliest.

6/16: the other "evil number".

[Cucumber_11]

When do the ToolArmy massive get pre-release tickets?

indeed I was wondering the same thing.

[Staticfactory]

6/16: the other "evil number".

Heh... but would it not be possible for Blair to attend both events... considering they're 10 days apart? What's the deal with June 1st?

[Cid]

5/1 - 5/25 .... hopefully a few shows in cali after coachella!!!

[Cid]

Heh... but would it not be possible for Blair to attend both events... considering they're 10 days apart? What's the deal with June 1st?

6/1/06 .... 616 instead of 666

[millermt]

I didn't think about that. They could probably fill up the rest of July with those dates and then a break before starting a US tour. So I'm thinking the US tour will begin in August at the earliest.

Yeah, they are running pretty close to the same schedule as for the 2001 Lateralus tour. Should see them back in the US in early to mid- August.

Hopefully before then, a mini US tour between Coachella and the first European date!

[psyco]

5/1 - 5/25 .... hopefully a few shows in cali after coachella!!!


yea, who thinks they'll do a 5 or 6 date small venue warmup tour just like apc and NIN did before there major shows?

[Staticfactory]

6/1/06 .... 616 instead of 666

Ah yes, that makes sense. Hmmm... tool on 6/6/6 or a Swiss festival on 6/16...

That would certainly be a difficult choice for me....





*cough*

[mike tyson]

No US dates = I don't care.

[millermt]

No US dates = I don't care.

At least we know when they won't be playing US dates.

[hateAliases]

great news, I'll go to all the germany shows, besides rock am ring/ park horseshit.

[Staticfactory]

At least we know when they won't be playing US dates.

I can't believe that we get European tour dates today and have to wait until mid April to get information regarding the album they're touring for.

It does appear that May 2nd is THE day though.

[hateAliases]

haaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaa

now go yell U.S.A!! hah.....

[millermt]

yea, who thinks they'll do a 5 or 6 date small venue warmup tour just like apc and NIN did before there major shows?

Judging from the Lateralus tour announcement timeline, we may not know whether or not there will be a US mini-tour until early April.


4/02/01
Tool will perform in 4 U.S. cities before the European tour in Mid-May. Those cities are as follows: Atlanta, New York, Chicago, and Detroit. We will announce the exact dates of these shows this week.

3/14/01
As many of you may have already noticed, we posted the 2001 TOOL May/June European Tour schedule. Visit the tour section for updates and changes.

[zac]

Why was Coachella not included in the list?

[mike tyson]

It's already confirmed... don't worry zac.

[Chris_Brightwell]

Why was Coachella not included in the list?Because it had already been announced/confirmed?

[zac]

Well I thought it was, so figured it would be in the list. Oh well

[millermt]

Why was Coachella not included in the list?

Probably because it was already officially announced on the site.

EDIT: Damn I'm a slow typer.

[SpiralOutKeepGoing]

I can't believe that we get European tour dates today and have to wait until mid April to get information regarding the album they're touring for.

It does appear that May 2nd is THE day though.

I don't think we will have to wait until April to get info about the album but rather that way the band can give out the information at their own pace instead of it being leaked by journalists.

[Psychedelic]

So can we assume that there will be a handful of small venue warm up shows in the states in May before they head over seas?

[Cucumber_11]

When do the ToolArmy massive get pre-release tickets?
I don't know, maybe someone else does though? Anyone?

[zac]

Sorry, i read it as him listing all confirmed shows

[Perseensilmä]

So can we assume that there will be a handful of small venue warm up shows in the states in May before they head over seas?

Well, they need to practice somewhere, don´t they?

[orange.juice]

HAMBURG I`M COMING!!! Or rather Düsseldorf? Berlin? hmmm...
Or all three?
Just checked for presales, nothing there yet.

[zac]

I wish we wouldve known early because going to Coachella is going to make me broke

[martyr]

when will the tickets be on sale?????????????????????????????

[Lateral Undertow]

No US dates = I don't care.
Agreed

[KILL_CLOWNS]

....sigh*, I wonder if they are ever going to come back around Kansas/Missouri/Nebraska area, I'd be lucky if they even did on the headlining tour.

[Staticfactory]

haaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaa

now go yell U.S.A!! hah.....

Uhh... I live in Canada... not that my comment had anything to do with the tour being in Europe rather than North America anyway.

Not only are you not funny - you're also an idiot.

[3poundsoflove]

I got tickets for Milan, Rome and Bologna, which are not festivals. I hope ISIS will be the band supporter.

6/4 - Landgraaf, Holland / Pink Pop Festival
6/27 - Amsterdam, Netherlands / HMH


I'm sooooo there. Although the HMH site doesnt announce any Tool shows yet. Hmmm. I have to keep my eyes open. Hopefully they are allready in pre-sale. Have to stop by tomorrow to see.

PinkPop tickets will be for sale Sat. 11th- I will be the first to buy 2 tickets. Yay~!

all eastern/central US cities, i was at the NY show. now they seem to be starting in cali and probably do a few west coast dates...good thing i moved out west.

[orange.juice]

Hamburg: ~7000 tickets
Berlin: ~3500
Düsseldorf: ~7800

just so you know.

[millermt]

all eastern/central US cities, i was at the NY show. now they seem to be starting in cali and probably do a few west coast dates...good thing i moved out west.

I hope if they do another mini-tour, they hit either NYC or Philly.

[mike tyson]

Philly.

they did NYC last "mini-tour"...it's the west coast's turn for a mini-tour :)

[stinkfish]

Halleluja, they're coming to Gothenburg, so I don't have to drag my ass over to Roskilde. Anyone even knows if they're going to pull off Metaltown this year? They haven't updated their page since last year.

[assailing eyes]

just before anyone gets too excited about there being 2 dates at hammersmith in the UK, it seems like the toolband post has been edited to read;

"6/11 - Glasgow, Scotland / Academy
6/13 - Hammersmith, UK / Apollo
6/16 - Switzerland / Interlaken Festival "

looks like there isnt the show on the 14th like ocelot first posted;
"6/11 - Glasgow, Scotland / Academy
6/13 - Hammersmith, UK / Apollo
6/14 - Hammersmith, UK / Apollo
6/16 - Switzerland / Interlaken Festival "

[MentalSanityOff]

Europe: Go fuck yourself

from the title of this thread... i was hoping for some BIG NEWS... but only see international tour dates.....

Maybe they're worried about selling out two nights (not sure why). So they want to make sure the first sells out completely before the second goes on sale. It seems unlikely that they'd have a two-night gap, and that they'd only do one show in London, considering they did four over two years for Lateralus.

[Ertai]

Well since the band has been trying too hard to perserve the experience..etc..i just think the band wouldnt want us to hear any live bootleged copies of any new material prior to hearing the album. So i would think they are going to release the album before the first tour date....

[Isac Khrondor]

Calling all UK people!

We gotta meet at the London gig!

[Shaz]

:))))

[assailing eyes]

Calling all UK people!

We gotta meet at the London gig!

definately.

[krumz]

Wow...dusseldorf...its like 1 hr ride by train....*starts collecting money* am thrilled....

[krumz]

^ whr do u live?

HAMBURG I`M COMING!!! Or rather Düsseldorf? Berlin? hmmm...
Or all three?
Just checked for presales, nothing there yet.
good...gotta check the ticket shops in a month...I dig completely for Düsseldorf

[embracingyou]

FUCK YES!!! Tool in my home town of London!!! If there is two shows, I'm going both fucking dates no question! I'm searching everywhere for tickets, presales, whatever!!! I even registered for Apollo's site!!! I'm hyped!!!

x

[evfain]

Very cool since I'll still be in Europe when a couple of these shows are going on. Anyone know where I can get details on the shows on Spain?

[dracomordag]

:))))) ?

[MentalSanityOff]

can somebody say bootlegs?

[champion]

"bootlegs."

[Ryan]

NOW

ocelot? more like, sexylot.

tour dates hurrah.

[Dedicated_TOOLfan]

That is extremely diappointing.....I hate Colorado....they never come here for small venue shows always danmed Dever....oh well.......*walks away with hopes crushed*

[Self_Destructive]

5/26 - Lisbon, Portugal / Superrock Festival

Awesome!!! This time I won't have to go to Spain to see them...

[Attila]

What do you think the chances are of Tool doing Ozzfest possibly?

[Citizen Erased]

Well, i'm gonna be making the long haul to London. Gonna have to be pretty sharpish to get tickets tho.

[rimb]

What do you think the chances are of Tool doing Ozzfest possibly?

Remote. I don't think they'd want to put themselves through that again.

[dracomordag]

can somebody say bootlegs?

not if the album is released before these shows

;-)

[jimmy1100]

Someone mentioned that APC did a warmup tour with NIN. We have some Sasquatch festival at the Gorge in Central Washington in early May and the Friday it starts there is a special TBA guest playing before NIN. Does that sound at all like it could be TOOL? Or would they not play a festival unless they were headlining? Any opinions?

[Rubb.]

If Tool played in Van Diemens Land, that would be totally awesome and very odd.

[Dharma Bear]

What do you think the chances are of Tool doing Ozzfest possibly?

I would honestly be really upset if Tool did Ozzfest again. That would be terrible.
Thankfully I highly doubt they would. So I would say the possibility is low.

[TenSpeed]

Remote. I don't think they'd want to put themselves through that again.
What happened last time?

[SpiralOutKeepGoing]

not if the album is released before these shows

;-)

if your trying to say that Tool would release their CD before Coachella then your wrong but if you are saying it comes out before the European tour dates then I agree with you.

[Riff]

As much as I like going to festivals to see a lot of bands and get wasted - TOOL is a band I'd prefer to see in a real, independent concert.


Halleluja, they're coming to Gothenburg, so I don't have to drag my ass over to Roskilde. Anyone even knows if they're going to pull off Metaltown this year? They haven't updated their page since last year.

I was wondering that myself. I'm worried.

[Chris_Brightwell]

The birthday of my daughter.Take her to see Tool! What could possibly be a better gift?!

[Ocelot199]

I wonder... since we all agree that the (current) official release date is May 2nd, do you suppose Tool won't play any of their new songs (except maybe the new single) at Coachella?

[Fulcanelli]

We have some Sasquatch festival at the Gorge in Central Washington in early May and the Friday it starts there is a special TBA guest playing before NIN. Does that sound at all like it could be TOOL? Or would they not play a festival unless they were headlining? Any opinions?

I think that NIN is playing on May 26th at the Sasquatch festival and that's the day that Tool is playing in Portugal.

[Chris Myth]

Take her to see Tool! What could possibly be a better gift?!

agreed

and nice new avatar

If Tool ever played The Gorge and I missed it, I would never forgive myself.

EDIT: Just remembered that they're gonna be in Europe, so disaster is averted. My own ego aside, for those that don't know The Gorge, if you ever travel a great distance to see one Tool show, that would be worthy of it.

[xdwingdx]

I wonder... since we all agree that the (current) official release date is May 2nd, do you suppose Tool won't play any of their new songs (except maybe the new single) at Coachella?


that is now the biggest question of all time. will theplay new songs before the release? i could actually argue both sides. as amazing it would be to be the first fans to hear the new music, i wonder if i would appreciate it more after i have been able to absorb the album and anticipate the songs live. damn, i cant wait to see what happens

[Archetypically]

I'll be in Germany in early June maybe I can catch one of those... hope so.

[orange.juice]

I'll be in Germany in early June maybe I can catch one of those... hope so.
but you better hurry up getting tickets

[Archetypically]

I'm having a hard time even getting plane tickets to Germany at all cuz I think the World Cup is there this year... is that true German folks?

I'm sure I will be able to though.

[orange.juice]

oh yes, the world cup.... i will try to seal myself off of that "sporting event", but hell, you should just try and fight with them travel agencies until they let you go... ah i´m sure there are lots of cancellations and last minute offers or something.

ticket pre-sales should start within the next days i guess, and they will be sold out quite fast. So hurry up.

[Ertai]

If Tool ever played The Gorge and I missed it, I would never forgive myself..

The Gorge..? and im missing this wonderful secert song.. if so where can i find it?

[Fulcanelli]

The Gorge..? and im missing this wonderful secert song.. if so where can i find it?

The Gorge is a venue near Seattle.

[Ertai]

The Gorge is a venue near Seattle.
..shotdown

[assailing eyes]

i may be being stupid, but does anyone know if ringing up the box office for hammersmith [uk] is the only way to get tickets for the june 13th show? cos no where online seems to recognise that tool will be playing there. actually, are they even onsale yet?

[orange.juice]

it could very well be that they are not on sale yet, as tickets for the 3(!) german venues (WEEEHOOOO!!!) are not on sale yet either.

[3poundsoflove]

for the italian gigs, they already sold almost 2000 tickets.

[embracingyou]

I've been checking for the Hammersmith dates like mad, Tool haven't got tickets up for sale yet. If anyone gets any news, please let me know!

x

[ElDespertador]

Definately going to the Ruisrock + at least 1 arena show, either in 'dam or Prague. Just can't miss them doing an indoor gig this time...

Now just waiting for the ticket sell to start so i can book flights & accom..

[merkabalus]

I've just joined TA in the hopes of some presale action ;)

yes, they come to berlin!!! *___* *dancing* *jumping* *screeming* O_O

They are rumoured to play the English Reading/Leeds festival at the end of August; there are cheap busses (www.eurolines.com) or flights (www.easyjet.com) to travel with.

On the other hand, last time they did Europe twice in summer (2001/2002), so you could see them next year or so. No chance that you could go to Europe sooner than August?

Here are a couple things to ease your nerves:

1) Before they leave for Europe this year, it seems very likely they will play a US mini-tour in early May. Even if they don't include Philly in the mini-tour, they would surely be playing in NYC, which is only a couple hours away.

2) If this tour resembles the Lateralus tour from 2001-2002, they will be back in Europe in late Spring/early Summer 2007.

I remember reading somewhere that "No ones ever had to renew their account". Its well worth it, though i was well bummed that you can't get any of the "better" memberships. (The ones that throw in free exclusive clothes.)

It took me ages to work out that i couldn't get them, being from blighty and all.

*sad face*

[Cucumber_11]

(Double post, sue me)

Here's a list of dates for TOOL SHOWS that we can announce at this time (i.e. they are finally official). Only problem is, with regards to the Hamburg, Germany show and the Interlaken Festival in Switzerland, I'm not sure which one I'd rather be at... (since there is no June 1st show).

That suggest to anyone else that something maybe released on that day?

[Metlamaniac]

hmmm it wasnt letting me post...anyways sorry if this has been asked but I didnt find it, has there been a guess at what the setlist at coachella will be like? will it only include the single from the new album?

[Ocelot199]

Probably they'll only play the new single at Coachella, since that would be the only new song released by the last weekend of April. I highly doubt they'd leak any of their own tracks by performing them live 4 days before the album is set to release.

[Bogart]

hmmm it wasnt letting me post...anyways sorry if this has been asked but I didnt find it, has there been a guess at what the setlist at coachella will be like? will it only include the single from the new album?

No one knows

[zenkinet]

No one knows
true, Nine Inch Nails, played new tracks on their "mini" club tour, before the album came out.

[millermt]

erm guys.....some of the dates have been taken away

So the 4 dates they removed were:

Kinda figured that just checking though, why would everything be this big of a deal, and then let it all out then b4 the album.....dumb question :D

[millermt]

So the 4 dates they removed were:

6/11 - Glasgow, Scotland / Academy
6/13 - Hammersmith, UK / Apollo
6/14 - Hammersmith, UK / Apollo
6/27 - Amsterdam, Netherlands / HMH


These seem to be all non-festival shows, right? Are there any non-festival shows left on the list?

Toolband has a new update.

[bliv]

From the latest update:

"Which reminds me, K-CAL channel 9 weather phenom Jackie Johnson predicts some more rain tomorrow, with plenty of sunshine for the weekend. She's amazing... I don't know how she does it. As one emailer wrote, more television stations should recruit their meteorologists from Hooters."

Could this mean: no/bad news tomorrow (rain), good news in the weekend (sunshine).

Or does he just like to talk about Hooters?!

[5th Eye]

I think he just likes to talk about Hooters.

[Pablo]

they probably can't (contractually) announce the UK headline shows until the Download Festival on June 9 is sold out.

[martyr]

why? im ignorant, indulge me

[embracingyou]

So we have to wait for Download to sell out to see Tool at a venue? Download didn't sell out last year, what if it don't this year?

[ElDespertador]

The tickets for the Prague (non-festival) show are on sale now in: TicketPro.cz (http://www.ticketpro.cz/?/detail&id=24374-tool)

Already booked mine, the price range is about 20 - 30 €.

[dracomordag]

(Double post, sue me)



That suggest to anyone else that something maybe released on that day?

no. it suggests a day where no one offered them a show.

I know Tool is playing at coachella this year...and under the VIP passes at toolband i just noticed a VIP for coachella. http://www.toolband.com/tour/images/ps_coac.gif
had they played at coachella before...if not, could it be somewhat representative of their possible new artwork? i'm sorry if i am completely wrong on this.

[Johnny Truant]

It doesn't work for me either.

Stupid school internet.

Do you even know what the occult is?

[toolloot]

Some of these gigs aren't totally confirmable.
The Glasgow gig for example is on that list but isn't on the venue's website.

Yes.

ryan, not working for me either - can you post all the pics? thanks

[gerbil]

It says the bandwidth was exceeded. You guys probably just have them in your cache, still.

[hanger25934]

anybody know the purpose of this photo? oh yeah i forgot its the " blair blog " now. fuck giving out news about a band thats getting ready to release new material. if i worked for Tool's marketing agency i would have done all possible to get rid of blairs wannabe occult ass a long time ago

I think that this is the reaction the band likes to see from Blair's efforts.

[gerbil]

I generally don't mind Blair, the secrecy, or the disinformation. However, it would be somewhat nice if we could trust things that were coming from the official site. It's a little unnerving to realize that nothing is "confirmed" until I hold it in my hands. However, like paraflux said, that's probably what the band is going for.

[Chris Myth]

anyone else getting a bunch of weird "photobucket" links on the toolband news page? what's that all about...

[hanger25934]

obviously so else they would stop with all the bullshit and have a legit "official" website, like toolband claims to be.
EDIT : there is never anything official/trustworthy on there and its turning into blairs diary.

[elusive_]

Blair is an idiot. It must have taken all of 1 minute for that bandwidth limit to be exceeded.

[Geedorah]

Don't worry. There were none of Danny.

yeah i actually just jerked all over....

7/9 - Finland / Turku Festival

AAARRGHHH! Why??? Why does Tool have to play my hometown rock festival when I am a $1000 return flight away from there... I wonder if I can save that much money in two months. Unlikely. Damnit.

Oh and to rub salt in the wound... Opeth will play at the same festival. *#&*$(%!
