I think they'll be there. I selfishly would like a new LCD soundsystem before they played again, I've seen them enough recently where I wouldn't want them hogging a headline slot without a new album under their belt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m thinking that they could maybe be at Sonar, something like LCD + Despacio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually they wouldn’t even reply to that type of comments. I guess something is really coming either tomorrow or next week. Would love it if they dropped Tool with a few smaller names and then announced that the rest is coming soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally hope they don't move away from the whole line up drop in the past. I think if they want to announce Tool as part of a wider tour then that's fine to just drop as a standalone act like Depeche Mode. I like having the whole thing dropped in one big hit instead of it drip fed like other fests. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zinski Posted November 14, 2023 Report Share Posted November 14, 2023 (edited) I don't get the hype around Tool. Don't get me wrong, they're great, i've seen them live multiple times, but they tour a lot and have no new material. It's old, and Maynard stays at the back of the stage.. Listen to them in your car and catch a stadium tour performance when they're in your city. I'd take another Puscifer mid-day sunset set over tool any day - additionally, do you think they could fill the festival grounds with people? A good portion of the lineup would need to hinge on and play to their booking. You cant have a bunch of artists and then TOOL randomly because they're legends. I think we'll see Orbital, Siouxsie Sioux, Pj Harvey, Underworld, Roisin Murphy, Vicious Pink, The Chemical Brothers, Tame Impala (again), Arctic Monkeys (again), Sufjan Stevens, Boygenius, Devendra Banhart, Sleeter Kinney, Chelsea Wolf, Fever Ray, Mannequin Pussy, Kylie Minogue, Ministry, Kali Uchis (again), Ty Segall, Flying Lotus, Pussy Riot, Dj Shadow (again), LCD Soundsystem (again) Feeling 2016 vibes but 50/50 new normal booking Edited November 14, 2023 by Zinski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm from Italy and they only came here twice in their whole history (2006 and 2019). After 2019 tour they released an album and only had one European Tour in Spring 2022 with no Italy, Spain or Portugal shows. And before 2019 they hadn't played in Europe for over a decade. If there's an active band who "tours a lot", they're not Tool, at least not in Italy or Spain. Edited November 14, 2023 by gigi21 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxialac Posted November 14, 2023 Report Share Posted November 14, 2023 Looking at the stats, they tour often (most years) but play relatively few shows. A band like the National plays about two and a half times more shows each year. Of course it's all relative. They sure play more than Frank Ocean does...

Yeah they haven't played Europe between the last two albums, but since then they have toured here relatively often. For a headline-sized band playing every other year (considering covid) is quite often. Maybe southern European promoters were not booking them for shows, because of the high ticket prices in relation to local purchasing power? They are not Pear Jam or Bruce Springsteen after all.

Boss89 Posted November 14, 2023 Report Share Posted November 14, 2023 Tool confirmed Graspop on their website (as only new announcement)... So it seems they're not announcing a full tour today, so I guess no Tool at Primavera news today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graspop probably wanted the limelight of announcing them first, I guess other dates will follow next week the latest. On second look, it does seem unrealistic that Tool would not be booked at Download, Rock am Ring or Nova Rock, if they were in Europe early June... Seems like Graspop might actually be their first date Edited November 14, 2023 by Quadrophobia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We knew they would be touring around end of may in Europe.
