TOOL 2023 Tour Dates – Full Schedule of TOOL Shows

According to Maynard James Keenan, Tool picks their openers like this:

“No point in choosing something similar to us. The approach or criteria I usually take when it’s my turn to choose an opener is Diversity. No point in choosing something similar to us. Most are only here for the headliner, anyway. But for those with open hearts and minds, I choose something I feel is compelling in its own way.

@blonderedheadofficial is my pick for this upcoming run. Incredible melodies, complex & subtle rhythms, and nontraditional arrangements.

But Nothing like @Toolmusic. And Not meant to be. Obviously, if it’s not your thing, don’t worry. What you came to hear will soon follow. But if any of what you hear resonates, @blonderedheadofficial have a deep catalog for you to get lost in for years to come.”

TOOL is a Los Angeles, California-based American prog-metal and rock band. They formed in 1990.

Maynard also talked about the when is the release date of TOOL’s new album:

“The guys in Tool, just take longer to process information and get it together and present me something that I can start building on. I have made the mistake in the past of trying to build on something that wasn’t ready yet. And then all the work I put into building on the thing, they change the foundation. If I’m [Maynard James Keenan] trying to decorate the house and then you move where the doors are or the windows or add a floor, I gotta start over, as an interior decorator. I have to wait for them to do it, so there’s time. I have time to do all these other things in between because I can and I should.

One could argue a little bit of discipline and a little prodding, a little cattle prod or a taser would help move these guys along a little faster, but that’s their process, you just have to kind of respect it.

It’s frustrating. I’m sure they’re frustrated with me because they hand it to me and I’m like, ‘It’s done.’ like, ‘You didn’t take any time with it?’ Yes, it took 50 years for this reaction to these things. I’ve been preparing for decades to hear these things and be able to react honestly, and I riff on them – on all the songs, on all the projects.”

Tool (formed in 1990) is a Grammy Award-winning American alternative metal and art rock band that also lends influences from progressive and psychedelic rock, hailing from Los Angeles, California, U.S.

With dreams of lives in the film industry, bassist Paul D’Amour and guitarist Adam Jones moved to Los Angeles during the 1980s, which is where they met singer Maynard James Keenan and drummer Danny Carey. Upon forming in 1990, the band spent two years performing live shows around Los Angeles, and recording demos to raise their profile. In 1992 Tool signed with Zoo Entertainment, who issued the band’s debut EP “Opiate” the same year. Led by the singles “Hush” and “Opiate”, the record was a hard-hitting, heavy release and was supported with a tour alongside Rollins Band, Fishbone and Rage Against the Machine.

With Nirvana augmenting the successful grunge period of the late eighties and early nineties, Tool toned down the metal themes on their debut full-length, “Undertow”. Released in 1993, the record rose to No. 50 on the Billboard 200, and was marked by its nihilistic and haunting aesthetic. Following the release the band played a successful series of shows on the 1993 Lollapalooza tour, where they moved from the second stage to the main, and were introduced by comedian Bill Hicks.

Tool’s second studio album, “Ænima” was released in March 2003 marked by the departure of bassic D’Amour and arrival of Justin Chancellor. Produced by prog-rock producer David Bottrill, the record was dedicated to the late Bill Hicks, who had shared many of the band’s ideals. Later earning triple platinum certification despite the falling popularity of alternative rock, the record was led by the Grammy-winning titled track and led Tool to become figureheads of alternative metal.

Once again supported by an extensive touring schedule, the band’s third full-length “Lateralus” followed in 2001, this time marked with art rock themes with greater atmospheric accompaniments both visual and auditory. Rising to No. 1 on the Billboard 200, an impressive feat for an alt-metal group, the record spawned the single “Schism”, which went on the win the Grammy for Best Metal Performance in 2001. Two years of solid touring followed, including dates alongside King Crimson, following which the group’s members took time away from Tool to focus on other interests.

Led by the single “Vicarious”, Tool’s fourth full-length album, “10,000 Days”, arrived in May 2006, once again topping the U.S. Billboard 200. Proving not quite as popular as its predecessor, the album’s packaging later won the Grammy for Best Recording Package, and was supported with constant touring alongside Isis and Mastadon.

Live reviews

What a show. I can not believe I never saw Tool in my high school years. I've wasted half of my life not having seen them. There are really three shows when you go to a Tool concert. We'll start from what I saw on the left to what I saw on the right:

1) The visuals. The screen behind the band was CONSTANTLY filled by amazing images and videos. The images and light coming from so many angles could be a show all its own. Beautiful.

2)Duh. The band. Drummer, Guitarist, Bassist, and Maynard's little raised stage area were all lit perfectly well. MJK was wearing riot gear, interestingly enough. The drummer astounded me. They often do, but this guy was surrounded by percussion and made me feel like I was the one in the drummer box. Guitarist and Bassist played with the crowd constantly. Professionals and obviously so thankful for the admiration. What talent in each performer.

3) The crowd. Initially, my wife and I were in the pit and caught the opening act (3Teeth...think Tool, NIN, and Marilyn Manson cloned into a band. We had so much fun with them). After they finished and we got our first round of beers, we made our way to the balcony nearly all the way to the edge stage right. We had full view of the band and it was only then that I realized how packed in people were down below. We got to watch the moshers and laugh at the crowd surfers who were yanked out of the crowd by security as if they were tissues being taken from a kleenex box. I'm so glad we weren't up front. Anytime someone tried recording with their phones (Seriously, idiots. Please stop this), the staff would wave mag-lights into their lenses. Great idea BUT it also menas you're blinding everyone between you and the recorder. I can imagine that'd be a bit jarring.

Great show from beginning to end.

Report as inappropriate

Sometimes it is nearly impossible to remove yourself from your surroundings when attending a concert in a giant corporate arena. While others times, suspension of disbelief is achieved effortlessly. When it comes to a Tool show, the venue itself literally ceases to exist. That was the case at the Pepsi Center last night. Hypnotized by Can Buyukberber’s alien/reptilian visuals and Maynard James Keenan’s deviant psychology, the sold-out crowd took flight on a journey into the furthest reaches of the human mind.

Transitory life was put on hold as we were forced to look inward instead of forward. The words and ideas of controverisial visionaries such as Bill Hicks, Carl Jung, and Karl Marx joined with the industrial heartbeat provided by Danny Carey, Justin Chancellor, and Adam Jones; all while MJK preached the gospel of poisoned religion, astrological phenomenon, unified consciousness, and Armageddon.

Tool shows have shown very little variety since the last album, but that doesn’t mean each one isn’t a unique experience. Like a mushroom or LSD trip, the vehicle and destination are same, but the journey is something completely different each time.

Been a bucket list band for some time now.... Finally got close enough to make it.

Entertainment value 5

Fan base 10

Maynard remained in the dark the entire performance and once just left the stage for whatever reason letting his fellow band mates play continuous rifts until his return. He made a brief walk across stage after the show was over and the lights turned on.

The extremely long instrumental rifts were TOOL fashion but they could have easily squeezed in 5 more songs if they just dialed that back a bit.

Show lasted just over 2 hours..... Expected a longer show. Everyone did.

No pics or video were allowed except the very last song when Maynard let everyone know they could. This was strictly enforced as a guy was removed for doing so.

They released new album date during the show.

They did not play "Sober".... The one song I was hoping to hear live...

The drummer played some killer solos...

Maynard was sporting a "red and black striped" mohawk.

Overall a pleasant trip.... The fan base truly didn't disappoint by cheering loudly.... And letting TOOL know they were still loved and supported....

I still want to hear "Sober" live..... Ugh

One of the best shows I have ever seen, and I have been to many. This was my 3rd time seeing Tool, and this was their best performance. Danny Carey and Justin Chancellor were having an out of body experience. These guys were playing out of their minds! I have never seen anyone rock a gong the way Danny did. They were both spot on. Tool may have the best rhythm section in the world right now. The light show was amazing as well. The screens and laser effects was out of this world. I personally like the no camera policy these guys have too. It was great to not have to watch a show through someone's phone screen for a change. They did let everyone take out their device for pictures and video on the last song. Nice compromise. As always, the Tulsa crowd was great too. I believe they are the reason Tool keeps coming back here. They get a lot of love from us down here. Now I have to find a way to get to another city and see this one again!

I've been a Tool fan since I first saw the video for Sober back on Headbangers Ball with Riki Rachtman (that shows hold old I am), but I've only seen them three times. Let me just say that they don't tour often, and when they do, it's not always close to home, but it is ALWAYS worth the drive/flight! Tool never disappoints and ALWAYS brings their "A game". Danny was sick as hell and STILL brought down the house with his skills! Adam and Justin delivered unrivaled precision on all my faves, well almost all, and I say that just cause I'm greedy and want to hear MORE! Then of course Mr. Maynard James... the dude stands in the background the entire time and lets the rest of the band take the spotlight. The dude is weird as hell... but I wouldn't have it any other way. I love these guys and hope to go to dozens more Tool shows before I kick the bucket. #legendary

I expect the sound at the dome to be poor, but, this was utter crap. The floor usually has acceptable sound, and for $150 I expect that I will get my bang for the buck. I got hardly any vocals, and a muddy distorted mess. I also expect to get nothing from Maynard, and we got a little more than that. The band has so little stage presence, that, I ended up watching the impressive visuals probably 80%of the show. And for half of it I even forgot the band was playing. Danny Carey the drummer did his best to take center stage and he did an admirable job, and Justin Chancellor the bassist also attempted to draw some attention. Stoned out of your gourd you will truly appreciate the visuals, but, stay home throw on any or all tool cds,search for visuals and enjoy. Or just watch your screen saver, and you will feel like you are there but better.

Absolutely incredible show! The sound was perfect, the visuals were spectacular and the band sounded super-tight (no surprise there). That is no easy feat considering the complexity of their music (especially their new material). They're one of the very few bands that actually sound the same or better live than the studio album. Maynard is finally more visible on this tour as they've added two platforms on each side of the drum riser where he crouched, danced, slithered and delivered his exceptional vocals. He even engaged the crowd a little bit, which was shocking. You could tell he and all his band mates are in a good head space and were really enjoying themselves. Truly memorable show from one of the greatest rock bands ever!

Tool concerts tend to stick with you for quite a while. The visuals alone are captivating, inspiring, working with the music, creating a synchronicity few bands have achieved.

Adam Jones is the artistic force that really drives the group, Maynard James Keenan providing lyrical emotion and commentary. Danny Carey and Justin Chancellor take the songs and drive them to a new level with brilliant drum and bass overtures.

The sum of the parts continually push the limits of progressive music and the best way to experience this is in person. I'll always support this band, their creative vision is something to witness, hopefully they will tour and create music for us to consume. If you haven't seen them, do it before they stop!

The band was unreal as always.

I attended a Montreal show a couple of years back and this was just as good along with the addition of some new album tracks.

Unfortunately, I can't say the same for the crowd here. The fans were far more connected to the music in Montreal. They understood the ebb and flow.

But, for some reason, we've got fools in Toronto who show up, get trashed and are somehow louder than the band. People here don't seem to get the idea that they're there with 12 - 13 thousand other people so it's really not about them. But, hey, that's the maturity level of kids old enough to drink legally, but not self-aware...

If ever they're back again, I'll see them, but never at Scotia again.

I have been waiting for over 20 yrs for Tool to come back to Dallas and Jam out. Well that's exactly what TOOL did on 22January2020 in Dallas, TX at American Airlines Arena. From start to end nothing but excellence from all 4 Gentleman. lanyards voice was Top form and the musician's jammed do hard I know they have to have blisters on their fingers. They are a very fine tuned head banging, fist in the air rocking Rock and Roll band of the Decade. If you happen to get a chance to see TOOL within the next 4 shows, only in the states, get there. Because you dont want to miss this show. SHOW OF THE YEAR!!!!! Guaranteed!!!

The process of making Fear Inoculum certainly took a lot out of the band. On our podcast Inside Track, producer Joe Barresi described how the band almost burnt down the studio during the recording of the album.

“We were tracking,” said Joe. “We always like to set up the room so it’s visual. Dan’s got, like, some geometry thing behind him, and there’s always a PA and candles. It’s very vibey. And I remember the drum tech, Bruce Jacoby, was in front of the console, and I saw this look of panic in his face. And I was like, ‘What? What’s going on?’

“All of a sudden, he just bolts out of the control room through this back door,” continued Joe, “and he gets behind Danny’s drum kit, where, I guess Dan was playing with such power that one of the candles fell over on his floor tom and started burning the floor tom, so the head went on fire. And there’s sprinklers in the ceiling, so we were trying to get the fire out before the sprinklers went off and the whole recording would be ruined. So that was one of the most insane moments, actually — Dan almost burning down the studio.”

In late February, Adam Jones shared a video on his Instagram story rehearsing the  10,000 Days  track "Rosetta Stoned" with Justin Chancellor and Danny Carey. The band's fans were freaked out on Reddit over the clip because the song hasn't been played much at all over the last decade. They performed it a handful of times in 2018, and prior to that, it hadn't been part of their setlist since 2009, so perhaps we'll see the rockers bring it back around during this upcoming run.

Tool are hitting the road this fall. The prog rockers announced the dates for a North American tour on Tuesday morning (June 6), including their first Canadian shows since 2019.

Tool’s Maynard James Keenan Says Drag Outfit Had Nothing to Do With Florida Law: ‘I’m Not a…

Trending on billboard.

Singer Maynard James Keenan made news last month when he wore what appeared to be drag during a set at Daytona Beach’s Welcome to Rockville Festival, that seemed at first to be a reaction to the series of  controversial bills  signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis recently that ban minors from attending  drag  shows. But the vocalist who often wears women’s clothes and bizarre costumes on stage later said the choice was personal, not political.

“I’ve been cross-dressing since long before these clickbait-junkie dupes were out of diapers,” he told The Messenger . “And that’s really all there is to it. I’m not a political fella — had nothing to do with Florida.”
