Tool Announces Extensive US and European Tour Dates For 2022
It’s a good start to the workaday week when there is a tour announcement from one of the bigger bands and Tool is certainly one of those groups. They’ve just announced a massive run of dates that will visit both the United States and Europe and the full press release and rundown is presented for your review down below.
The Press Release:
TOOL have announced a mammoth 2022 tour, with the Los Angeles-based band spending 3 months traversing the U.S. followed by a month of European dates.
TOOL elected to kick off the highly-anticipated trek in Eugene, Ore. as a nod to the abrupt halt to their 2020 Fear Inoculum tour. Slated to play the Matthew Knight Arena on March 12, 2020, the show, along with the band’s remaining tour dates, was canceled as nationwide lockdowns began to take effect that evening.

Tool’s Official Statement On Postponed Concerts
The Press Release:
TOOL has issued the following statement regarding their postponed concerts (original dates listed below):
“As so many music lovers have come to realize over the last several weeks, there is no playbook that artists, promoters and venues can pull from in these unprecedented times.
When we played what would be our final show of 2020, March 11 at Portland’s Moda Center, we believed we would be back on the road sometime this Fall. As we worked towards that goal we’ve come to realize that there is absolutely no certainty in re-scheduling dates for this Fall or 2021. State and local ordinances vary widely and no one can predict when high capacity events will safely return.
At the same time that we were working to reschedule this tour, we read your messages. Messages of job losses, illness, emotional and financial pain. We could continue to postpone or reschedule dates for some time into 2021 but ethically, we do not think this is the right course of action. In our opinion, tying up our fans’ money for months, if not a full year, is unfair. With that in mind, we have made the very difficult decision to cancel the tour so we can help support the people who have supported us for years.
Please know, we want nothing more than to return to the road, to play these songs for you and to celebrate our shared recovery. When the time is right, we will do just that.
In the coming days you will receive an email from the ticketing service you purchased tickets through notifying you of the event cancellation and when to expect your refund.”

PiercingMetal Thoughts: More sad news but you readers should be used to this by now. I missed Tool during their last go round since it was a hot show and very difficult to work out and bring you the scoop about it. Oh well, there is always next time….provided there actually is a next time for big shows at big packed to the gills venues. I remain hopeful because this has been a year of WTF for so many of us but as noted all of these shifts and changes and cancellations are based on organizers wanting their audience alive for the next go round. As I close this up I wonder were you supposed to see Tool during the Spring into the Summer? Chime in down below and I will see you next time around.

Tool Announces Spring Tour Dates For 2020
The Press Release:
TOOL, who recently took home the GRAMMY Award® for Best Metal Performance for the song “7empest,” has added an extensive Spring tour for North America.
The tour news arrives as the Los Angeles-based band wraps up a sold out Australasian tour, with the final two shows of the trek, back-to-back sold out performances at Auckland’s Spark Arena, happening later this week. The Sydney Morning Herald described the live offering as “an immersive art-rock experience that forced you to feel a little of everything. It was an intricate collage of light, sound and imagery.” The Fear Inoculum tour, which has seen the band performing in some cities for the first time in over a decade, has received widespread accolades with the Los Angeles Times calling it “impeccable,” the Chicago Tribune describing the performances as a “twisting multimedia rollercoaster of a concert” and The Arizona Republic describing the shows as “a visually breathtaking night of dystopian art-rock spectacle.”
