TOOL make their highly-anticipated return to the UK next week, including outings at London’s The O2 Arena amongst European shows including Stockholm’s Tele2 Arena and Paris’ Accor Arena, as well as festival outings at Graspop Metal Meeting, Tons of Rock and CopenHell.

This European tour follows a particularly busy time for the Los Angeles-based band, with the foursome featuring Danny Carey, Justin Chancellor, Adam Jones and Maynard James Keenan, coming over after a US tour.

Metal Hammer described their once-in-a-lifetime performance at Power Trip as “a mind-melting, triumphant showcase of just how singular their art is, a transcendental experience that surpasses genre boundaries.”
