American rock band Tool mark their return to New Zealand in November with a one-off Auckland show.

The Grammy Award-winning four-piece band were last in Aotearoa five years ago - at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. Lead singer Maynard James Keenan later learnt he had Covid while performing in New Zealand.

Tool have been hitting the road this year, popping up at Lollapalooza festivals and joining Ozzy Osbourne onstage for Black Sabbath’s final reunion show.

After their Auckland show on 22 November, the band will be heading to Australia.

Tickets go on sale at midday on 22 September.
