<\/div>\n

Tool<\/a> will embark on a short North American tour this spring as they continue to prep their long-awaited new album, Pitchfork<\/a> reports. The trek opens May 5th with a set at Welcome to Rockville in Jacksonville, Florida. The band will play a mix of festivals and headlining shows over the course of the 10-day tour, which wraps May 19th at the Chicago Open Air Festival in Bridgeview, Illinois.<\/p>\n

Tickets for Tool\u2019s newly announced headlining shows will go on sale March 15th. Complete information is available on the band\u2019s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In February, Tool frontman Maynard James Keenan<\/a> offered an update on the band\u2019s new album, which will be their first since 2006\u2019s 10,000 Days<\/em><\/a>. \u201cMidway through mixing,\u201d Keenan wrote on Twitter. \u201cMost likely be a few recalls. Then some arguing. Then Mastering, Artwork, Video, Special Packaging, etc. Best Ballpark Guess- Release date somewhere between Mid May and Mid July.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tool\u2019s new tour and album, however, arrive amidst allegations<\/a> that Keenan raped a 17-year-old woman in 2000 when he was 36. Last June, an anonymous woman took to Twitter using the handle @IWas17HeWas36<\/a> and claimed the attack took place after a Nine Inch Nails concert, which featured Keenan\u2019s other band, A Perfect Circle, as the opener. The woman alleged that Keenan spotted her in the crowd, took her back to his tour bus, put a movie on, began touching her and taking off his clothes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was no consent made,\u201d she wrote. \u201cI was not high. I was clean. He did not seduce me, he forced me, quickly taking advantage of my paralyzed state.\u201d<\/p>\n

Keenan denied the accusation, calling it a \u201cdespicable false claim\u201d on Twitter<\/a>. \u201cMany thanks to those of you who saw right through this despicable false claim that only does damage to the #MeToo movement,\u201d Keenan said. \u201cAnd shame on those of you who perpetuate this destructive clickbait. As for my delayed but un-required response, I had my phone off. You should try it.\u201d<\/p>\n
