Tool’s current tour dates run up until June 23rd, with their last scheduled tour date taking place in Sacramento, California, so taken on face value, it’s probably a safe bet that the pictured location is where they’ll play a show on that date. But why then haven’t they announced the show, or is this their typically enigmatic way of announcing it? Considering the tour wraps up the day before, could it mean that they’re planning to finish up the tour with new music dropping the day after? Unlikely, we know, but we can still dream.
Or could it be the date that we end up seeingall of Tool’s music finally come to streaming services? Considering the buzz that this news garnered when it was announced, it’s also a strong possibility. But rememberthat we saw recent news thatMaynard has been working on vocals for the new album, so we’re just going to hope that this fabled fifth album might finally be on its way. In the meantime, let’s reminisce with‘Vicarious’, from10,000 Days.
