Tool 2027 Tour Dates & Schedule

Quick answer

No — as of October 2026, Tool has not announced any 2027 tour dates. Ticketmaster lists no upcoming Tool concerts, and the band's own channels are silent on routing. What does exist is a strong hint: drummer Danny Carey said in early 2026 that the band is working on new songs aimed at a 2027 album release and has been talking to Las Vegas's Sphere about a residency to go with it.

October 2026 check: no 2027 dates, no Sphere residency dates, and no album release date are confirmed. The Sphere talk and the new-album aim are real statements from the band — everything beyond that is speculation.

What's confirmed vs. what's still coming

The Sphere idea is more than idle chatter because it came from the band itself: Carey called Tool "the perfect band" for the venue, citing the cinematic visual spectacle of their live shows, and said the band had toured the Sphere and been shown around it. But he also stressed the cost and preparation involved, and a residency that "takes a while to get into the black" is a long way from a dated announcement. Treat any social-media post claiming Sphere dates as unverified until Tool confirms it.

Why a 2027 tour makes sense

Tool's last album cycle is now seven years old: Fear Inoculum arrived in 2019 and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, the third straight Tool album to do so. The band toured it extensively through arenas and festivals, and its most recent run closed in December 2025 with shows in Australia, New Zealand, and Hawaii. A band that tours in multi-year cycles and has publicly said it is writing new material is a natural candidate for a 2027 return — especially if, as Carey suggested, the new record lands that year.

The Sphere angle fits Tool's live identity unusually well. The band's shows are built around Adam Jones's video imagery and a deliberately immersive, visuals-first staging, and the Sphere is the one venue designed for exactly that kind of presentation. Whether that becomes a residency, a run of special shows, or nothing at all is unconfirmed — but it is the single most concrete 2027 signal the band has given.

Ticket and presale info

Nothing is on sale because nothing has been announced. Tool's past arena tours have sold through Ticketmaster, with VIP packages a regular feature. If a Sphere residency materializes, expect tickets through the Sphere's own channels and Ticketmaster, with high demand and premium pricing — but no presale or sale dates exist yet.
