TOOL

TOOL has announced their highly anticipated return to Europe this spring, including a concert at the Budapest Arena on 13 June.

The news of the band's new European tour comes after a particularly busy period for the Los Angeles-based band, with the foursome - Danny Carey, Justin Chancellor, Adam Jones and Maynard James Keenan - currently in the midst of a North American tour that will conclude in February. In the last five months, TOOL have headlined Aftershock, Welcome to Rockville, Louder Than Life and Sonic Temple Arts & Music festivals, as well as appearing at Power Trip, which Metal Hammer wrote about below: "a mind-blowing, joyous display of their unique artistry, a spiritual experience that transcends genre boundaries."

Full ticket sales go on sale at 10am on 17 November via www.livenation.hu and www.funcode.hu. Prior to that, TOOL Army members will have the opportunity to pre-purchase tickets starting at 10 a.m. today, exclusively for the first 48 hours. They will be joined by registered Live Nation members at 10am on 16 November, taking advantage of their pre-purchase opportunity. A limited number of VIP packages will also be available from the very first moment. In addition to premium tickets, some packages include the chance to attend a sound check, a group photo with the band and exclusive souvenirs.

Night Verses will be the opening act at the European shows.
