Tool Announce 2022 Tour Dates for U.S. and Europe
Tool were one of the first bands in the heavy music world to truly “get” what the Covid-19 pandemic meant for touring, choosing as early as June 2020 not to reschedule some dates they’d missed to later that year, as so many bands foolishly did, and not even messing around with 2021 at all, presciently citing the uncertainty ahead.
Now Tool have unveiled their first round of dates since the pandemic began, and they’ll come in January – May of 2022 throughout the U.S. and Europe. You can find a list of those dates below. Blonde Redhead opens on dates from Jan. 10 to Feb. 10. The Acid Helps opens from Feb. 19 to March 20. Tickets go on sale this Friday, Oct. 1 at 10 am local time (UK and Irish dates are on-sale at 9 am local time).
Frontman Maynard James Keenan contracted Covid-19 not once — in New Zealand in February 2020 — but twice. He had been experiencing lingering respiratory symptoms from the first bout, although he said he was “all good” as of this past April.
Drummer Danny Carey said in August of 2020 that the band had been writing and he hoped to “knock out” a new Tool EP during quarantine.
