The band will also head over to Europe for a run of international dates throughout the month of June and into July beginning on June 2nd in Berlin, Germany. The European run is scheduled to come to a close on July 2nd, after which the band could possibly return Stateside for more shows throughout the latter half of summer.
Monday’s announcement comes just a few months after Tool drummer Danny Carey informed fans that the band’s first new studio album since 2006’s 10,000 Days, should arrive sometime next month. A report shared just after the start of the new year stated that their latest studio project was close to completion and in the mixing stage of the recording process.
Tickets will go on sale starting March 15th at 10 a.m. Local, and can be purchased here. Fans can reference the listing below for a detailed schedule of the North American leg of shows.
