As the sun sets over the Dominican Republic, the band, featuring Maynard James Keenan, Danny Carey, Justin Chancellor, and Adam Jones will take the spotlight with jaw-dropping performances. Their shows have been compared to monumental performances from legends like Iron Maiden, Guns N’ Roses, and AC/DC, but TOOL offers something distinct—an immersive, interstellar journey from earth-shaking breakdowns to soaring vocal melodies.
