A reminder that TOOL will be finishing up their 2017 tour with a very special performance at THE GLEN HELEN AMPHITHEATER (their ONLY SHOW in SOCAL) on SATURDAY, JUNE 24. With support by friends “THE CRYSTAL METHOD”, “CLUTCH”, “THE MELVINS”, “FANTOMAS” and “PRIMUS”, the extravaganza starts around 2:00 PM and climaxes under a ‘new’ (black) moon with TOOL’s unrivaled sonic and visual experience. According to a recent interview in the Orange County Register, ADAM reveals that the band “has a couple of things up its sleeves to share exclusively with its hometown crowd.” So, don’t kick yourself – get a ticket while there are still some available – and join the summer party!
Maynard James Keenan’s other band A Perfect Circle, who recently wrapped up a sold out U.S. tour, return to the road this fall, kicking off a North American trek at the Aftershock festival on Oct. 21.
The band’s spring outing, their first U.S. tour in six years, began with a three-night stand at The Pearl in Las Vegas. “It was as if they never left, both in terms of the sharpness of their performance and the contemporary relevancy … of their catalog,” said the Las Vegas Review Journal in their review of the opening evening. As the band worked their way through the month of U.S. dates, Keenan dubbed the outing the “get to know ya/re-get to know ya” tour, a nod to the band’s hiatus and news of their forthcoming album. A Perfect Circle headlined Welcome to Rockville, Fort Rock and Carolina Rebellion before concluding the tour with an “enthralling” (Orange County Register), “rapturous” (Buzzbands) sold out , debut performance at the Hollywood Bowl.
