Tool Kick Off Oceania Tour in Auckland With Deep-Cut Revivals and a Live Debut

Setlists prioritized long-dormant material over staples, signaling a refreshed focus on the deep catalog.

Overview

  • Tool launched the Oceania run with two sold-out shows at Auckland’s Spark Arena on Nov. 22–23.
  • Night one revived “Disposition” and “H.” for the first time since 2002 and “Crawl Away” for the first time since 1998.
  • Night two added “Prison Sex” (first time since 2002), “Intension” (first time since 2014) and the live debut of “Mockingbeat.”
  • The band performed Black Sabbath’s “Hand Of Doom” both nights, reprising a cover first played at Ozzy Osbourne’s July farewell event.
  • Adelaide (Nov. 28–29) and Perth (Dec. 2) are next before Good Things Festival appearances, with members saying they are jamming and no new album confirmed.
