The wait is over, and fans of the legendary progressive metal band Tool are in for a treat! After years of anticipation,
Tool has officially announced their early 2025 World Tour along with the release of an exciting new album. This
marks a thrilling new chapter in the band’s storied career, following the release of their critically acclaimed album
Fear Inoculum in 2019.
A New Era for Tool
Fans have been eagerly speculating about the band’s next move, with hints from the band and lead vocalist Maynard
James Keenan indicating that new music has been in the works. On December 1, 2024, Tool took to social media to
make it official: a brand-new album is ready for release and a global tour will follow.
The new album, which is still untitled, promises to showcase Tool’s signature blend of intricate rhythms, mind-
bending compositions, and introspective lyrics. According to drummer Danny Carey, the album marks a departure
from the band’s previous works, exploring fresh sonic territories while maintaining the complexity and intensity Tool
is known for.
“We’ve spent the last few years crafting something that’s truly unique,” said Carey in a recent interview. “It’s been a
journey for us, and I think fans will hear it in the music. It’s unlike anything we’ve done before, but still very much
Tool.”
Early 2025 World Tour: A Global Celebration
Following the album release, Tool will hit the road for their 2025 World Tour, spanning multiple continents and
stopping in some of the most iconic venues across the globe. The tour kicks off in the United States in January 2025,
with dates in major cities such as New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago. The band will also make stops in Europe,
Latin America, and Asia before concluding the tour in late summer 2025.
Tool’s live shows are renowned for their immersive visuals, complex live arrangements, and the sheer intensity of the
performances. Fans can expect a jaw-dropping experience, with the band teasing that they are working on new stage
setups and audiovisual elements that will enhance the live show.
“We’ve always treated the live experience as a way to create something more than just a concert,” said guitarist Adam
Jones. “We want our fans to feel like they’re part of something bigger, something transformative. We’re pulling out
all the stops for this tour.”
Presale and Album Preorders
For those eager to get their hands on the new album and secure tickets for the tour, presale opportunities will begin
in mid-December. Preorders for the album will include exclusive merchandise, and fans who sign up for the presale
will have first access to tour tickets before they go on sale to the general public.
The band is also teasing a special “deluxe edition” of the album that will include additional bonus tracks and behind-
the-scenes content, giving fans an even deeper dive into the making of the record.
What to Expect from the New Album
While the details about the album are still largely under wraps, fans can expect more of Tool’s signature qualities:
dark, thought-provoking themes, complex time signatures, and jaw-dropping musical craftsmanship. Fans are
particularly excited about the return of bassist Justin Chancellor’s intricate basslines, which have always been central
to the band’s sound.
The new album is expected to push the boundaries of progressive metal even further, as Tool has always been at the
forefront of musical innovation. Whether it’s through their complex arrangements or their philosophical
explorations, Tool’s new album promises to be a musical journey that will captivate listeners on multiple levels.
