The triple Grammy award-winning band were said to be working on their fifth album but singer Maynard James Keenan this week told radio station Radio Futuro in Chile ‘no new disc. Not this year. I have not written any songs. So no, there is nothing”.

So instead of the studio, Tool will hit the stage.

Dates from Frontier Touring are:

April 27, Melbourne, Rod Laver Arena
April 30, Adelaide, AEC Arena
May 3, Sydney, Allphones Arena
May 6, Brisbane, Entertainment Centre
May 8, Auckland, Vector Arena
