Tool are hitting the road this fall. The prog rockers announced the dates for a North American tour on Tuesday morning (June 6), including their first Canadian shows since 2019. The fall outing will compliment the band’s previously announced summer festival gigs with six weeks of new non-fest shows slated to kick off on Oct. 3 in Loveland, CO at the Budweiser Event Center.

Tool’s Maynard James Keenan Says Drag Outfit Had Nothing to Do With Florida Law: ‘I’m Not a…

Trending on billboard.

Singer Maynard James Keenan made news last month when he wore what appeared to be drag during a set at Daytona Beach’s Welcome to Rockville Festival, that seemed at first to be a reaction to the series of  controversial bills  signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis recently that ban minors from attending  drag  shows. But the vocalist who often wears women’s clothes and bizarre costumes on stage later said the choice was personal, not political.

“I’ve been cross-dressing since long before these clickbait-junkie dupes were out of diapers,” he told The Messenger . “And that’s really all there is to it. I’m not a political fella — had nothing to do with Florida.”

Tool Announce 2023 North American Tour Dates

Tool have announced a 2023 North American tour that's set to kick off this fall.

The run begins with a Sept. 22 appearance at the Louder Than Life Festival and after that, it's back out on the road from Oct. 3 through Nov. 21 as the band makes stops in the U.S. and Canada with additional festival stops (Aftershock, Power Trip) in the mix as well.

See all of the upcoming dates below and look for non-festival tickets to go on sale on June 9 at 10AM local time. Pre-sale tickets, meanwhile, will be offered to the Tool Army starting June 8 at 10AM local time. Head here for additional Tool Army information.

In late February, Adam Jones shared a video on his Instagram story rehearsing the  10,000 Days  track "Rosetta Stoned" with Justin Chancellor and Danny Carey. The band's fans were freaked out on Reddit over the clip because the song hasn't been played much at all over the last decade. They performed it a handful of times in 2018, and prior to that, it hadn't been part of their setlist since 2009, so perhaps we'll see the rockers bring it back around during this upcoming run.

Tool Announce Fall 2023 North American Tour Dates

By Matthew Strauss

Tool have announced a fall tour of North America. Following a performance Louisville’s Louder Than Life in September, the band will play arena shows in October and November. The trek also includes a performance at Indio’s Power Trip . Find Tool’s tour dates below.

Earlier this year, Tool headlined Florida’s Welcome to Rockville and Sonic Temple Art & Music Festival in Columbus, Ohio. The band also toured North America last year, but did not perform in Canada. On their upcoming tour, Tool will play Canadian shows for the first time since 2019 .

At Welcome to Rockville, Tool frontman Maynard James Keenan also performed with another one of his bands, Puscifer. He made headlines by performing in a blonde wig, red lipstick, and prosthetic breasts, which many saw as a defiant act against Florida’s restrictive laws against drag shows. Keenan, however, said his choice of attire “had nothing to do with Florida.” The singer told The Messenger , “I’ve been cross-dressing since long before these clickbait-junkie dupes were out of diapers.” He added, “It’s pretty crazy the technology and the prosthetics nowadays, how they’ve come along, and I just was considering bringing the look back.”

Reviews from TOOL’s sold-out 2022 tours praised the four-piece, with Loudwiredubbing the performances as “a masterclass of immersion, sound and stage design, musicianship… and levels of ungodly tightness.” The Austin Chronicle described the incomparable live experience as an “unbridled exchange of catharsis between performers and fans.” More recently, Revolver, covering Welcome to Rockville 2023, said “TOOL delivered a stunning… set featuring classic fan favorites, newer Fear Inoculum standouts and choice deeper cuts … the striking visuals also included a psychedelic laser and projections show bar none.”

TOOL 's long-awaited 2023 headlining tour has finally begun. Last night in Loveland, Colorado, the progresive metal auteurs played their first non-festival show of the year, and the setlist boasted old favorites, newer gems and one semi-surprise for the die-hards.

The band — Maynard James Keenan, Adam Jones, Danny Carey and Justin Chancellor — pulled out six cuts from their latest album, 2019's Fear Inoculum , including a three-song closing run comprised of "Chocolate Chip Trip," "Culling Voices" and "Invincible."

Elsewhere, they played all-timers "Stinkfist," "The Grudge" and "The Pot," but then they did something TOOL fans have been clamoring for for nearly 15 years. After teasing it in rehearsal footage earlier this year, the band finally played the 10,000 Days epic "Rosetta Stoned" for the first time with vocals since 2009!

TOOL 2023 Tour Dates – TOOL Concert and Festival Schedules

TOOL is one of the most well-known prog-rock bands of all time, and they will return to the stage in 2023 for more concerts and festivals.

We will help you find cheap tickets to upcoming TOOL concerts, shows, or festivals in 2023. Check our TOOL 2023 tour dates below!

TOOL 2023 Tour Dates – Full Schedule of TOOL Shows

According to Maynard James Keenan, Tool picks their openers like this:

“No point in choosing something similar to us. The approach or criteria I usually take when it’s my turn to choose an opener is Diversity. No point in choosing something similar to us. Most are only here for the headliner, anyway. But for those with open hearts and minds, I choose something I feel is compelling in its own way.

@blonderedheadofficial is my pick for this upcoming run. Incredible melodies, complex & subtle rhythms, and nontraditional arrangements.

But Nothing like @Toolmusic. And Not meant to be. Obviously, if it’s not your thing, don’t worry. What you came to hear will soon follow. But if any of what you hear resonates, @blonderedheadofficial have a deep catalog for you to get lost in for years to come.”

TOOL is a Los Angeles, California-based American prog-metal and rock band. They formed in 1990. Here are the Tool members: vocalist Maynard James Keenan , guitarist Adam Jones , and drummer Danny Carey . Justin Chancellor has been the band’s bassist since 1995, succeeding original bassist Paul D’Amour. TOOL genre is also unique in metal and rock music history.

The band won four Grammy Awards and went on worldwide tours and festivals. And released numerous albums that topped the global charts. TOOL has so far released five studio albums, one box set, two extended plays, four video albums, fifteen singles, and eight music videos — also; the TOOL band is planning to release new records in 2023 too.

TOOL band members total net worth is around $210 million.

Who is opening for TOOL on their next 2023 tour?

Opening acts will be changing for each TOOL  concert. 

Maynard also talked about the when is the release date of TOOL’s new album:

“The guys in Tool, just take longer to process information and get it together and present me something that I can start building on. I have made the mistake in the past of trying to build on something that wasn’t ready yet. And then all the work I put into building on the thing, they change the foundation. If I’m [Maynard James Keenan] trying to decorate the house and then you move where the doors are or the windows or add a floor, I gotta start over, as an interior decorator. I have to wait for them to do it, so there’s time. I have time to do all these other things in between because I can and I should.

One could argue a little bit of discipline and a little prodding, a little cattle prod or a taser would help move these guys along a little faster, but that’s their process, you just have to kind of respect it.

It’s frustrating. I’m sure they’re frustrated with me because they hand it to me and I’m like, ‘It’s done.’ like, ‘You didn’t take any time with it?’ Yes, it took 50 years for this reaction to these things. I’ve been preparing for decades to hear these things and be able to react honestly, and I riff on them – on all the songs, on all the projects.”

Recent tour reviews

I have been waiting for over 20 yrs for Tool to come back to Dallas and Jam out. Well that's exactly what TOOL did on 22January2020 in Dallas, TX at American Airlines Arena. From start to end nothing but excellence from all 4 Gentleman. lanyards voice was Top form and the musician's jammed do hard I know they have to have blisters on their fingers. They are a very fine tuned head banging, fist in the air rocking Rock and Roll band of the Decade. If you happen to get a chance to see TOOL within the next 4 shows, only in the states, get there. Because you dont want to miss this show. SHOW OF THE YEAR!!!!! Guaranteed!!!

Report as inappropriate

Absolutely incredible show! The sound was perfect, the visuals were spectacular and the band sounded super-tight (no surprise there). That is no easy feat considering the complexity of their music (especially their new material). They're one of the very few bands that actually sound the same or better live than the studio album. Maynard is finally more visible on this tour as they've added two platforms on each side of the drum riser where he crouched, danced, slithered and delivered his exceptional vocals. He even engaged the crowd a little bit, which was shocking. You could tell he and all his band mates are in a good head space and were really enjoying themselves. Truly memorable show from one of the greatest rock bands ever!

The band was unreal as always.

I attended a Montreal show a couple of years back and this was just as good along with the addition of some new album tracks.

Unfortunately, I can't say the same for the crowd here. The fans were far more connected to the music in Montreal. They understood the ebb and flow.

But, for some reason, we've got fools in Toronto who show up, get trashed and are somehow louder than the band. People here don't seem to get the idea that they're there with 12 - 13 thousand other people so it's really not about them. But, hey, that's the maturity level of kids old enough to drink legally, but not self-aware...

If ever they're back again, I'll see them, but never at Scotia again.

CCM faculty featured in roundup of new classical music albums

The new york times highlights recording projects featuring elliot madore and sæunn thorsteinsdóttir.

UC's College-Conservatory of Music is home to an international faculty of dedicated educators who are also celebrated professionals in their own right, and two of those faculty members were recently highlighted in a New York Times roundup of notable new classical music albums.

Entitled "5 Classical Music Albums You Can Listen to Right Now," the article includes recently released performance recordings featuring CCM Associate Professor of Voice  Elliot Madore  and CCM Assistant Professor of Cello  Sæunn Thorsteinsdóttir .

'Girls of the Golden West' featuring Elliot Madore

A  Grammy Award-winning Canadian baritone, Madore is featured on a recent recording of composer John Adams’ and librettist Peter Sellars’  Girls of the Golden West . A retelling of the California Gold Rush sourced from the literature of that era, the full-length opera performance was recorded live at Walt Disney Concert Hall in January 2023. Adams conducts the performance, which features the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Los Angeles Master Chorale and a cast that includes Madore singing the role of Ramón.

New York Times contributing classical music critic Joshua Barone describes the music on the Girls of the Golden West album as "so vivid you feel immersed among the evocations of pickax swings and dark folk songs that populate [Adams’] treatment of California’s gold rush."

Known as one of the most accomplished and sought after singers of his generation, Madore next sings the title role in Cincinnati Opera's production of Mozart's Don Giovanni  on June 13 and 15.

'Decoda' featuring Sæunn Thorsteinsdóttir

A cellist whose performances have previously been described by the New York Times as "riveting," T horsteinsdóttir appears on the debut album by the artist-led chamber music collective known as Decoda . Thorsteinsdóttir is a founding member of the group, which is the only independent ensemble to be recognized as an Affiliate Ensemble of Carnegie Hall.

Decoda's self-titled album features  the world premiere recording of Valerie Coleman's  Revelry , original arrangements of William Bolcom's Three Rags  and a performance of Reza Vali's, Folk Songs (Set No. 9) , written for flute and cello.

In his review, New York Times contributing music critic Seth Colter Walls calls out the "wide-ranging skills" of Thorsteinsdóttir, Vali and Decoda flutist Catherine Gregory. Walls' review concludes, "With performances of this quality, you can see why Carnegie [Hall] ... would want to continue an association with these musicians."

Thorsteinsdóttir next appears in an artist showcase concert at the Sarasota Music Festival on Thursday, June 6.
