Teegan & Sara are playing. I like them!

There is 1... yes 1... limited edition Teegan & Sara pono player.

Cage the Elephant and Weezer would be good to see.

I have never seen Tool live but am dying too. I am seriously thinking of making the 7-hour drive down to Boston to see them if they are doing day passes. I have a question though. I always wanted to see them in an arena setting and am wondering does a festival setting really not do this band any justice? Should I hold out and wait for a proper tour/show with all of the bells and whistles or do these guys give it their all no matter where they play?

If you have the chance you should go. There's no guarantee of a proper show in the future.

I've seen them festival and arena. Both were great!

Ya I just looked back at their sets and the festivals run around 10 songs and arenas are 13. Not a huge difference really. I plan on waiting until the last minute on this one and see what my options are. Thanks for the advice.

I would prefer an arena show, but I've seen Tool 3 times at festivals, and have never walked away disappointed.

I think the Pixies had a full 2 hour set @ Boston Calling in 2015 (32 songs); it may be worth your time looking into other BC festivals to compare headlining sets if that's a concern.
Even then, as far as the setlist itself goes, it depends on the festival. Tool's last festival appearance (Voodoo fest) was only a 10 song set, but of their regular 13 song set, they cut out only 1 album song you know (the other two were the instrumental version of their new song, & DC's [awesome] drum solo).

Thirtybillsunpaid hit the nail on the head too, there are no guarantees of future shows with this band.

7 hours is a long way, but if you've never seen them, it may be worth it.

What is this tweet?

Don't play with me, man.

Oh shit!

People ask when the next Tool album will drop and I usually say in either another 10 000 Days or when is the next Olympics? Lol
