TOOL Confirmed For Colorado's MILE HIGH MUSIC FESTIVAL

March 26, 2009

TOOL has been confirmed as one of the headliners of the second annual
Mile High Music Festival, set to take place July 18-19, 2009 on the Fields at Dick's Sporting Goods Park, just nine miles from downtown Denver, Colorado.

Mile High Music Festival exploded on to the national festival scene last year as hosts to Colorado's largest music and arts festival, offering concertgoers a tremendous variety of musical talent, food from many of Denver's top restaurants, an artists' village and more. The festival, which attracted more than 90,000 attendees its inaugural year, went off without a hitch and promises again to put the fan experience first. The festival grounds, with its remarkable views of the Denver skyline and Rocky Mountain Front Range, will offer even more shade and misting tents, an increased number of free water stations, and shorter concession lines. The 2009 event also boasts an upgraded VIP experience and expanded festival greening initiatives.

This year's Mile High Music Festival introduces a charity component as a special thank you to the community that is helping make the event a Colorado summer tradition. A portion of the ticket proceeds will benefit Commerce City's Quality Community Foundation (QCF). "This is extremely good news," said Commerce City Mayor Paul Natale. "The city is very excited to again be apart of the Mile High Music Festival and for AEG Live to donate money to the city's Quality Community Foundation is just music to my ears." The Quality Community Foundation is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization established by Commerce City in 2006. It grants money to organizations that provide nonprofit services to Commerce City residents.

Tickets for Mile High Music Festival will go on sale Friday, April 3, at 10:00 a.m. MDT online at TicketHorse.com, by phone at 866-461-6556 and at Dick's Sporting Goods Park box office. They can also be purchased with a credit card at the ticket outlet kiosks in twelve Dick's Sporting Goods stores. The Paramount Theatre box office will be open on Friday, April 3 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to sell MHMF tickets to walk-up customers only. Ticket prices are $162.50 (plus service charges) for a two-day pass. A limited number of single-day tickets will be available for $90.00 (plus service charges) while supplies last. Two-day VIP packages are also available: $400.00 (plus service charges) for the Mile High VIP pass and $1250.00 for the Mile High Apex experience (plus service charges).

The festival will also offer a carpool package for $650.00 and includes four two-day passes and special carpool parking. Carpoolers are encouraged to participate in the Mile High Music Festival carpool contest. Participants are asked to decorate their vehicles to draw attention to their green driving efforts. Winners will be randomly chosen on each day of the festival and awarded VIP upgrades for each rider in the vehicle.
