UPDATE, 12/6/21: Tool have added a new U.S. show to their 2022 tour, on January 28th at the Broadmoor World Arena in Colorado Springs. Tickets will go on-sale this Friday, December 10th at 10 a.m. mountain. A selection of exclusive packages, which include a pre-sale ticket, will also be made available to Tool Army members on December 8th at 10 a.m. mountain via this link.
ORIGINAL STORY: On March 12th, 2020, Tool were scheduled to play the Matthew Knight Arena in Eugene, Oregon, in support of their long-awaited album, Fear Inoculum, when the show was abruptly canceled as nationwide lockdowns began to take effect in response to the rapid spread of COVID-19. Little did anyone realize at the time how long the pandemic would last, but today (September 27th), over a year and a half later, the prog-metal titans have finally announced a resumption of the Fear Inoculum tour — and they're picking up literally right where they left off, at the Matthew Knight Arena in Eugene, Oregon.
"It is with great pleasure I get to announce our return to the road," drummer Danny Carey commented. "These past 18 months have been trying to say the least but from great trials come great lessons and great rewards. We are genuinely looking forward to sharing them with you." Singer Maynard James Keenan added, "Let's finish what we started. Shall we?"
The band are set to spend three months touring the U.S. before heading to Europe for another month (see the full itinerary below), with Blonde Redhead opening shows from January 10th to February 10th, and the Acid Helps doing the honors from February 19th to March 20th. Tickets for all dates are on-sale this Friday, October 1st at 10 a.m. local time (U.K. and Irish dates are on-sale at 9 a.m. local time). Tool Army members can purchase pre-sale tickets for European dates on September 28th at 10 a.m. local time (24-hour pre-sale window), while U.S. pre-sale tickets are available on September 29th at 10 a.m. local time (36-hour pre-sale window). A selection of exclusive packages, which include a pre-sale ticket, will also be made available to Tool Army members on September 29th at 10 a.m. local time.
