Tool Announces Special One-Off Performance in Honolulu

Tool has announced a live performance in Hawaii, marking their first return to the state in nearly 15 years. 

The Los Angeles-based alt-metal band will take the stage at Honolulu’s Blaisdell Arena on December 19, revisiting the same venue where they last played in January 2011.

The Honolulu show adds a new stop to Tool’s brief international tour run scheduled for December. Before landing in Hawaii, the band will play two shows in Japan – Yokohama on December 11 and Kobe on December 13. Notably, these performances mark Tool’s first live appearances in Japan since 2013.
