Progressive hard rockers Tool play Rogers Arena on Oct. 23. Tickets start at $75 and go on sale at 10 a.m. on June 9 at livenation.com.

Formed in 1990, the quartet of drummer Danny Carey, bassist Justin Chancellor, guitarist Adam Jones and vocalist Maynard James Keenan built a dedicated fan base with signature music videos and thundering riffs. Albums such as 1993s Undertow and 1996s Ænima managed the rare feat in heavy rock of containing singles that made radio.

This is Tool's first Canadian tour since 2019, and fans can expect to hear a mix of classics from 2000s boxset Salival, 2019s Fear Inoculum and more. No word on whether this tour will also include aerial performance artists as past tours have. No matter how the band presents itself, it is certainly going to be loud, moody and intense.
