Tool are hitting the road this fall. The prog rockers announced the dates for a North American tour on Tuesday morning (June 6), including their first Canadian shows since 2019. The fall outing will compliment the band’s previously announced summer festival gigs with six weeks of new non-fest shows slated to kick off on Oct. 3 in Loveland, CO at the Budweiser Event Center.
The two-month fall outing will include gigs in Salt Lake City, Spokane, Portland, Vancouver, Calgary, St. Paul, Milwaukee, Boston, Philadelphia and Montreal before wrapping up with a pair of shows on Nov. 20-21 at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto.
Tickets for all the non-festival shows will go on sale on Friday (June 9) at 10 a.m. local time, with additional Tool Army memberships recently opened up; exclusive pre-sale tickets for members will go on sale at 10 a.m. local time on Thursday (June 8). The band — who are touring in support of what was their first full-length release in 13 years, 2019’s album Fear Inoculum — will kick off the run on Sept. 22 with a slot at the Louder Than Life Festival in Louisville, KY and also play the Aftershock Festival on Oct. 6 in Sacramento, CA and the hard rock desert superfest Power Trip on Oct. 8 in Indio, CA.
Singer Maynard James Keenan made news last month when he wore what appeared to be drag during a set at Daytona Beach’s Welcome to Rockville Festival, that seemed at first to be a reaction to the series of controversial bills signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis recently that ban minors from attending drag shows. But the vocalist who often wears women’s clothes and bizarre costumes on stage later said the choice was personal, not political.
“I’ve been cross-dressing since long before these clickbait-junkie dupes were out of diapers,” he told The Messenger. “And that’s really all there is to it. I’m not a political fella — had nothing to do with Florida.”

“We’re particularly excited about this year’s lineup,” said Tom Poleman, chief programming officer for iHeartMedia, in a press statement. “This is the only festival in the world with this range of genres – spanning all the styles you hear on our 860 stations and the iHeartRadio app. Each performer can sell out on their own, so it’s incredibly rare that you can see them all together on the same stage.”
For the first time this year, the 2023 iHeartRadio Music Festival will broadcast live on Hulu for those who can’t make the event in person. As usual, the festival can also be enjoyed via iHeartMedia radio stations throughout the country.

Just days after dropping a new album, Foo Fighters have confirmed they’re dropping in on Australia and New Zealand during the next southern summer.
The Foos will embark on a major stadium tour of Australia, starting Nov. 29 at Perth’s HBF Park, before heading east for concerts in Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. Then, in the New Year, Dave Grohl and Co. make the leap across the Tasman Sea for January 2024 outdoor concerts in Auckland, Christchurch and Wellington.

Though the Foos haven’t undertaken a headline tour of both countries since 2018, that doesn’t tell the story of the rockers’ connection with Australasian audiences.
The Rock And Roll Hall of Famers are seasoned travelers to the lands Down Under, and they’re always welcome here.
Indeed, when COVID-related lockdowns lifted and borders began to open, the Foos last year made their way to Geelong, 40 miles southwest of Melbourne, for a special date at the GMHBA Stadium.
Who better than the Foos to christen Australia’s live circuit with the first full-capacity stadium show by an international act in Australia since early 2020.
That one-off show, the upcoming tour, and many Foos treks before it, is produced by Frontier Touring, the concerts specialist founded by the late Michael Gudinski. Grohl was so close to Gudinski, he’s a guest in the forthcoming documentary on the Mushroom Group founder, entitled Ego.
Foo Fighters have a longstanding love affair with Australia. Their tenth and latest studio album Medicine At Midnight debuted at No. 1 on the ARIA Chart in February 2021, the band’s eighth leader in these parts.
The band’s 11th studio album But Here We Are dropped last Friday, and represents a new dawn for the act, whose members are still grieving the untimely death last year of talismanic drummer Taylor Hawkins.
The Foos returned to the stage last month for the launch of their current world tour, which includes headline sets at festivals Boston Calling, Sonic Temple, Rock am Ring, Rock im Park, Bonnaroo, Outside Lands, Riot Fest, and more. Josh Freese, a veteran studio and touring drummer, was recently unveiled as the Foos’ full-time drummer.
Tickets for the ANZ tour go on sale Thursday, June 15 via frontiertouring.com/foofighters, with pre-sales available from this Friday, June 9.

Morgan Wallen released One Thing at a Time on March 3, kicking off a run of 11 (and counting) consecutive weeks atop the Billboard 200. One of the set’s focus tracks, “Last Night,” became his biggest hit yet, topping the Billboard Hot 100 for seven (and counting) frames. And now, his spin-off run of concerts – the One Night at a Time World Tour – crowns Billboard’s Top Tours chart.
According to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore, Wallen played four shows in April, earning $27.9 million from 145,000 tickets sold. He fends off Elton John ($27 million) and former tourmate Luke Combs ($25.8 million) in a narrow race, securing his first monthly victory.
Earlier this month, Wallen was forced to postpone the One Night at a Time World Tour for six weeks due to a vocal injury, resuming on June 22 at Chicago’s famed Wrigley Field. Including three shows from May 4-6 and a handful of dates in Oceania in March, the tour has earned $44.3 million and sold 258,000 tickets to-date.
Wallen will mix arenas, amphitheaters and stadiums across the remaining 45 scheduled dates. Running through June 2024, Wallen is on to soar past the $200 million mark (and then some), easily topping his own The Dangerous Tour ($113.5 million; 841,000 tickets) and further, Kenny Chesney’s Here and Now Tour ($135 million) and Taylor Swift’s The Red Tour ($150.2 million) to become the top-grossing country tour ever. Country tours are generally defined as by artists recording primarily country music at the time of a respective tour.
Wallen’s April triumph marks the first time in nine months that an artist scores a first month at No. 1. The last act to claim its first chart-topper was Coldplay in July 2022, who poetically closed the loop by repeating at No. 1 just last month.
In between, Bad Bunny (Aug. and Sept. 2022), John Mayer (Oct. and Nov. 2022, Jan. 2023), Trans-Siberian Orchestra (Dec. 2022), and Ed Sheeran (Feb. 2023) notched repeat wins. In 34 months since the monthly charts premiered, Wallen is just the 15th artist to lead the Top Tours ranking.
Among those 15 leaders, Wallen is the first country act to hit No. 1. Previously, the genre had peaked at No. 3 with George Strait (March 2019 and Jan. 2020) and Reba McEntire (Jan. 2022). In fact, stretching beyond the origins of Billboard’s monthly charts, the last time country spawned the top-grossing act of the month was Chesney in May 2015, almost eight years ago.
Including Wallen and Combs, country artists have five top three placements, or 4.9% of all top three ranks since the charts launched in Feb. 2019. When looking at the full 30-position survey, the genre makes up 11.8% of the chart, following only rock and pop.
While country has consistently been a core factor in the concert industry’s well-being, it’s taken more than three years (including COVID’s blackout period) for one of its own to lead, with more of its headliners in the teens and 20s of the monthly chart.
Much of that has to do with the structure of country tours, as most acts play weekend shows but take off during the week, compared to every-night or every-other-night routings for many pop, rock, Latin and hip-hop artists. Playing two or three shows a week, country artists can only sell so many tickets, limiting their total figures especially when compressing the chart’s tracking period to a strict timeframe.
For their parts, Wallen played in Milwaukee on a Friday and Saturday, and then Louisville and Oxford, Miss. on the following Thursday and Saturday. (Combs played one stadium show each week, except for a double-header in Nashville). But despite a limited show count, both artists scaled up to stadiums, able to compete with lengthier arena runs via massive nightly audiences.
Elton John, sandwiched between Wallen and Combs at No. 2 on Top Tours, played double the shows as either country competitor. Nine of those took place over the course of 16 days at London’s O2 Arena, averaging one show every other night.
John’s run at the O2 is No. 1 on April’s Top Boxscores, having earned $25.3 million and sold 148,000 tickets. It’s the month’s only engagement to break the $20 million mark or 100,000 tickets. Wallen (Nos. 2 and 5) and Combs (Nos. 4, 7-8) help flesh out the top 10, with Usher at No. 3 for an eight-night run at MGM’s Dolby Live in Las Vegas.
Not only does the O2 Arena push Elton to No. 1 on Top Boxscores and No. 2 on Top Tours, it is itself the top-grossing venue of the month. The last time it reigned was June 2022 with $41.7 million and 372,000 tickets sold, just north of April’s $41.1 million and 344,000.
