Guitarist Adam Jones of Tool revealed in a recent interview that the band was approached to be the first act to perform at Las Vegas' Sphere, but due to scheduling conflicts, they were unable to make it work. However, Jones expressed interest in playing at the venue in the future and mentioned ongoing discussions for a possible residency there.
Bassist Justin Chancellor also discussed the potential for more elaborate art aspects in Tool's live shows, prompting speculation about a future performance at the Sphere. Drummer Danny Carey previously mentioned talks for a possible residency at the venue in 2027.
Tool is set to play at various festivals this year, with the Sphere hosting Metallica for a residency in 2026-2027.
