TOOL Confirmed For Norway's ØYAFESTIVALEN

May 4, 2007

TOOL has been confirmed for the Øyafestivalen, set to take place August 7-11 in Middelalderparken (the Medieval Park ) in Gamlebyen, the oldest part of Oslo, Norway. TOOL will perform on Thursday, August 9. Also scheduled to appear are NINE INCH NAILS, SHINING and JAZKAMER, among many others.

TOOL recently announced more rescheduled dates for its spring U.S. tour, which was postponed from its original mid-March start after drummer Danny Carey tore a bicep while picking up his dog at home. Nearly 40 shows have been confirmed so far, including a co-headlining appearance at Manchester, Tennessee's Bonnaroo Festival in mid-June.

According to Billboard.com, singer Maynard James Keenan has been working during TOOL's unexpected break on new music from his side project PUSCIFER. Keenan revealed at his MySpace page that AUDIOSLAVE/RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE bassist Tim Commerford and drummer Brad Wilk have played on the tracks, along with ex-PRIMUS and A PERFECT CIRCLE drummer Tim Alexander.

TOOL is continuing to support its latest album, "10,000 Days", and current single, "Jambi".
