The Only dates announced so far are

Sydney - 24/01/07 @ Entertainment Centre
Melbourne - 31/01/07 @ Sidney Myer Music Bowl

Dates will be announced soon (unknown when?) for Auckland, Bris, Adel and Perth. But I'd assume very soon, as the 'leaked' ticketmaster page showing the Melbourne show had tickets on sale next friday (25th August)

I'ld now bet my right eye that they are on the Big Day Out tour

It says 2000 capacity seating and 11,000 on the lawn which appears to be behind the seating. I'm not sure if the seating is fixed or not though, have never been before (or at least not that i can remember!)

That's juicy. I hope, if TooL are playing BDO, that they get an evening timeslot. I think a mid afternoon affair (like Slipknot 05 or Mudvayne 06) would take away from the vibe. There's going to be a tonne of early birds hogging that blue/orange barrier = )

Re: 2007/01/31 - Melbourne, AUS - Sidney Myer Music Bowl

Surely if Tool played the BDO as well, they would want to headline (and get the main act timeslot) ....But, if the rumours of the CHillies are true, it should be interesting to see what will happen!

i reckon ill try n get tickets to the Melb solo gig, wether or not they play the BDO and/or a solo show in Adelaide as well.

Red Hot Chili Peppers are now doing a national tour in April which cancels them out for big day out headliners.

At Big Day Out? Good luck staying there all day in the hot sun :p I'm too old to do that kind of thing anymore.

edit: yeah, the music bowl does look a little small. I guess there's no where else for them to play that's any bigger except Telstra Dome. lol.

Is the best way to buy tickets in person or on the net?

I'm not telling, in the hope that you will stupidly go and try to buy them in person, thus giving me more chance of getting one online. :)

online

personal experience from buying them in person is that often the people running the ticketing agencies have no idea how to deal with big lines of fans

13,000 isn't big enough for a Tool concert when way way more than 13000 people will be wanting to go.

true, but the only other places they could play would be Rod Laver/Vodafone arena or Telstra dome..and how SHITTY would it be at telstra dome? Rod Laver is ok, but the Music bowl has better sound, being an amphitheater and such...

Also, if it sells out insanely quickly..we can all hope for a 2nd or 3rd show yes?

But with the $107 ticket price, i'll have to transfer a nice chunk to my credit card lol!

Is there anyone in Canberra who wants to do shifts sitting in the queue with me? A lot of my friends like Tool but they don’t seem to realize how important this is.

Just a thought...will this be an over 18 show? I turn 17 in December, and to miss out of seeing Tool because on an age restriction would be heart shattering.

Same here, I'm out of the country until the 20th of January, so that was pretty sweet timing. ...If I'm old enough, that is.

Re: 2007/01/31 - Melbourne, AUS - Sidney Myer Music Bowl

I really dont wan't Tool to go to BDO, I'll probably just go to the sideshow. There will be too many stupid nu-metal dicks and closeminded metalheads everywhere spoiling it. BDO wouldn't give Tool justice either. I'd prefer to see them at Brisbane Entertainment Centre anytime.

If anyone in Australia/NZ feels disapointed, check this:

http://www.sydentcent.com.au/files/m...ool%202006.pdf

They're announcing more dates in Aus and NZ soon. You guys don't actually think it will be 18+, do you? If it is, I'll cry.
