For the first time since 2012, Tool will tour North America.
According to SPIN, the prog metal act will hit the United States and Mexico for a total of seven dates in March. The band listed the tour dates on its website.
The seven-show run will be Tool’s first foray into North America since a sizable tour in early 2012. The band played live in 2013, but only toured in Australia, New Zealand and Japan.
The series of shows will begin March 4 in Spokane, Wash., ending in Veracuz, Mexico, at the Festival Cumbre Tajin on March 21.
The announcement of tour dates fuels rumors that the four-piece could be recording its first full-length since 2006’s “10,000 Days,” which topped the Billboard 200 with 564,000 copies sold in its first week. Drummer Danny Carey told Loudwire last July that a new Tool record would “most likely” come in “early 2014.”
