TOOL TO HEADLINE LOLLAPALOOZA?

According to Consequence of Sound, the best band in the world, aka Tool, are going to headline one night of this year’s Lollapalooza. Now a 3-day festival, this year’s event is set to take place August 7-9, 2009 in Chicago’s Grant Park. It would be Tool’s 3rd time at the festival, having played on the touring incarnation in 1993 and 1997.

Of course, nothing is official, but according to Mr. Leaky Faucet himself, aka The Chicago Tribune’s Greg Kot, “multiple industry sources confirmed” the much speculated rumors during last week’s South by Southwest.

Time to book a flight to Chicago? We can only hope that this won’t be a one-off and Tool will add more dates. I CANNOT possibly be expected to wait until 2010, possibly 2011, to see Tool perform again.
