GRAMMY Award®-winning juggernauts TOOL will make their long-awaited return to New Zealand, today announcing an exclusive Auckland headline show at Spark Arena on Saturday 22 November. Renowned for their mind-bending musicianship, boundary-pushing visuals, and one of the most powerful live experiences in rock, TOOL will deliver an unmissable night for Aotearoa fans, marking their first performance in the country in five years.
Formed in 1990, TOOL – Danny Carey (drums), Justin Chancellor (bass), Adam Jones (guitar) and Maynard James Keenan (vocals) – are one of the most groundbreaking, muscular heavy bands of our era. Across five studio albums to date – Undertow (1993), Ænima (1996), Lateralus (2001),10,000 Days (2006), and their latest release, Fear Inoculum (2019) – TOOL have redefined the possibilities of rock through complex, hypnotic compositions and unparalleled live production.
