I've also emailed the admin at the Sydney Superdome and the Brisbane Entertainment Centre about Tool and stuff but so far had no reply. If I do get something I will post it here immediately.

I hope the rumour is true. Like I said earlier, they seem to be doing the same thing as the Lateralus tour, in that they play a show or 2 in the states, then hit Europe for the Summer festivals as well as dropping in on Australia ever so briefly before finally returning to the U.S. for a big tour Sep/Oct/Nov and then continue touring into and throughout the following year.

I missed Tool here in 2001 (they only played Syd and Mel) but saw them in Brisbane in 2002. The venues listed for their 4 supposed Aussie shows this August are decent venues, although the Superdome is probably too big if anything.

I don't really care what the album is called - I just want to hear it and see them live again, many times!!
