Transcendental Rock Band Tool Has Announced Two Massive Side Shows For 2025

Prepare your earplugs (and your chakras) because Tool have just announced they’ll be playing two massive arena sideshows this summer, alongside their headline slot at Good Things Festival 2025.

If you’ve ever been swept up in the hypnotic riffs of Schism or been blown away by the sonic density of Lateralus, you’ll know this isn’t just another gig—it’s an experience.

The Los Angeles prog-metal titans—fronted by the enigmatic Maynard James Keenan—have been bending brains and redefining heavy music since the early ’90s. With four Grammy wins, cult-like status, and albums like Ænima (1996), 10,000 Days (2006), and the long-awaited Fear Inoculum (2019), Tool’s sprawling catalogue has made them one of the most influential and mysterious bands on the planet. Their shows are as much about the visuals and atmosphere as they are about the music. Mind-melting light shows, mystic symbolism, and extended tracks that feel like a journey into another dimension.

Sideshow Details

• Friday 28 November—Adelaide Entertainment Centre (Kaurna Land)
• Tuesday 2 December—RAC Arena, Perth (Whadjuk Noongar Land)

This is the first time in over a decade that Adelaide and Perth have scored their own Tool shows, so expect tickets to vanish faster than Maynard at stage left.

Whether you’re a diehard who knows every polyrhythm by heart or a curious newcomer keen to tick a legendary live act off your bucket list, this is one summer show you won’t want to miss.
