Tool has announced arena shows in Perth and Adelaide ahead of headlining Good Things Festival later this year.
Good news for all ye’ Tool faithfuls – the prog legends have announced they will be hosting headline shows in Perth and Adelaide later this year. Earlier this morning, the band announced that they will be hosting two indoor arena shows: the first at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on Friday, 28 November, and the second at Perth’s RAC Arena on Tuesday, 2 December.
This will be Tool’s first performance in Western Australia since 2020, and South Australia’s first Tool concert since 2013.
Tool is also set to headline Good Things Festival in Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane in December. When the lineup was announced, fans were under the assumption these would be the gigs the grunge rockers would play while visiting our humble shores. But alas, the band has found a way to treat their West Coast fans to an exclusive set.
Joining Tool for these shows is Byron Bay grunge rock trio HEADSEND, who are sure to set the mood for the night.

While the band have yet to release new music since then, their live shows continue to dazzle and immerse fans, making them one of the most in-demand live acts around.
