Yes, a press conference in Berlin which made it obvious they were announcing a tour. The big shock was that nobody expected PS would ever get them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Createur Posted November 13, 2023 Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 (edited) I would love to see Tool to be announced on their own for Primavera tomorrow - just for the reactions on the internet 😁 Joking aside. If Tool is announced tomorrow because they are booked for Primavera and want to announce their whole tour like Depeche Mode last year AND the rest of the line-up isn't ready to announce just yet then I guess they'll announce a "classic" headliner alongside them to not confuse the audience too much. Pulp comes to my mind. Edited November 13, 2023 by Createur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whos3000_ Posted November 13, 2023 Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 Tool are no way out of place. And they should be comparable to depeche mode in terms of costs and ticket sales, shouldn't they? I am not even a fanboy but having them at primavera would be just glorious. I can definitely see the appeal for their core audience, the same who will buy the tickets for the smile, massive attack and so on 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatteredscreens Posted November 13, 2023 Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 One of three things is going to happen tomorrow: Tool announce their tour dates, not at PS, PS does nothing. Tool announce their tour dates with PS, PS do a separate announcement for them Depeche Mode style. Tool announce their tour dates with PS, PS do a full line up drop. I reckon it's the first. But if I huff some copium it might be the second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sell out stadiums. Tool are a band firmly situated in metal and prog audiences who have by means of aesthetics crossed over into hip music magazines in the 90s but have lost that momentum in their long abscence. They have a large fanbase that is also very enthusiastic about them, but they are not the band that would bring many people outside of their core audience to a festival Also, where exactly does it say that Tool are announcing their tour tomorrow? Couldn't find anything. Edited November 13, 2023 by Quadrophobia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep ok but the primavera guys are deep down music nerds just like us I wouldn’t underestimate their roots in edgy/dark music. it could have been argued that also Depeche mode, despite not having ever released bad albums, we’re not exactly at the peak of their hype before the recent album &tour cycle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pipan Posted November 13, 2023 Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 My guess: - tomorrow or wednesday they'll announce that line-up drops next week, - no separate headliners announced before that, - no Tool at Primavera. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JedTheHumanoid Posted November 13, 2023 Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 Unrelated to this, Stereolab’s Laetitia Sadier announced new album and touring US in March/April. Can see her coming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh I don't see Tool main audience matching a lot with the "new normal" and the classic Primavera audiences. I think that people need to understand that those artists like Calvin Harris, Maneskin and Halsey were brought mostly for the Madrid public. I’ve been to Primavera Madrid and the public there was completely different from the one you can find in Barcelona. It was full of influencers and people that came for big artists, and I think that if Madrid thing worked, we would have more commercial and pop this year, but because it’s only Barcelona and Porto (that have a long and faithful audience) it’s not going to be full of those pop artists. I think we can expect something like Karol G, Bad Bunny and Travis Scott plus some smaller commercial artists, but that’s it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulp comes to my mind. Funny to see how a lot of people are trying to convince us and themselves why Tool should or shouldn't be on the poster (they should obviously) and then realizing I do the exact same for artists such as Karol G. Hoping we will all find our own favorite artist on the poster and let's not focus on the ones we don't like as there will be many alternatives anyway.

Hope is another discerning crowd. If Turin does happen next year, it should strengthen their ability to get good names on a 3-run series.

If you’re of a certain age, it felt like that album was playing on an endless loop in every vaguely hip coffee place. If you were of that certain age then hip coffee places weren't much of a thing so must have been extra hip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

festivalguy97 Posted November 13, 2023 Report Share Posted November 13, 2023 People are asking Primavera on their today post on Twitter and Instagram if the post is connected to the lineup reveal, and Primavera Team just replies with curious emojis. Usually they wouldn’t even reply to that type of comments. I guess something is really coming either tomorrow or next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
