Overview
- Danny Carey says Tool is writing now with a goal of releasing a new album in 2027, the follow-up to 2019’s Fear Inoculum.
- Carey reports preliminary conversations with Las Vegas Sphere representatives about a possible residency timed to the new record, with no deal in place.
- He describes the Sphere preparation as intense and costly, saying it can take several shows before a production turns profitable.
- The drummer recently toured the 17,600-capacity venue and called it incredible, adding he almost got vertigo while looking around.
- The Sphere features a 16K wraparound LED display and advanced audio and has hosted U2, Phish, Dead & Company, and the Eagles; separate reports suggest Metallica is eyeing 2027 dates, though nothing is confirmed.
