Tool To Tour US In January

2015 has been an extremely quiet year for L.A. rockers Tool, at least on the live front, as the band played just one set back on Halloween in Tempe. Last night came word 2016 should be different. A post on the band’s Facebook page says Tool will embark on a U.S. tour in January.

While there’s still no word on the follow-up to 2006’s (yes, 2006) 10,000 Days, it sure seems we’re on the verge of Tool announcing dates for a January run. Here’s a look at the somewhat cryptic post shared by the band last night:

TOOL TOUR VISIONS

SOMETHING WICKED THIS… YOUR WAY COMES!

For those of you who only like NEWS about TOOL, here’s something that should be of great interest. The impenetrable veil of my dark scrying mirror FINALLY CLEARED today – enough so, in fact – that I could perceive a large heptagram on a complexly lit stage where four performers were dwarfed by dramatic video projections. Evidently the sonic and visual extravaganza that I was receiving is a rare glimpse of FUTURE TOOL U.S.A. TOUR DATES in the month of JANUARY, 2016 e.v. However, with some of the images in the depths of the black glass not being clearly distinct… YET, fans will have to keep checking back (SOON) on the Tool websites and Tool facebook page for an official announcement containing a list of the SHOW DATES, CITIES and VENUES, as well as for info about a tour support act(s). Regarding an opening band(s), what I was able to discern through the ever-shifting veil will in all likeliness be exciting to many Tool enthusiasts. STAY TUNED, FOLKS… as my trusty SCRYING MIRROR CONTINUES TO CLEAR…

We’ll be sure to let you know as soon as the dates are confirmed. We’re particularly intrigued by the note about “opening act(s).”
