The metal group Tool has postponed its entire North American tour this spring amid coronavirus concerns.
“Tool regrets to inform that the first leg of their upcoming North American tour has been postponed due to the COVID-19 outbreak,” the band said in a statement Wednesday. “They wish everyone well during this difficult period and hope to see everyone again very soon.”
Days after postponing a handful of dates on their forthcoming tour, the band had to put the entire trek on hold. The tour was slated to kick-off on April 16 in Miami, Florida, followed by gigs in cities like Charlotte, Baltimore, Toledo, and Montreal, among others, before wrapping-up on May 5. At this time, no rescheduled dates have been announced, and their second leg of the tour, set to begin on May 29, will still reportedly go on as planned. Tool was touring in support of their 2019 record Fear Inoculum.
They are the latest group to postpone their tour due to coronavirus; earlier this week, acts like Elton John, Billie Eilish, and The Rolling Stones postponed their tours until later this year, while Live Nation postponed all tours throughout the end of March. Festivals have also been quick to cancel or postpone upcoming shows, including Bonnaroo, which Tool was slated to headline alongside Lizzo and Tame Impala.
