Tool Apparently Booed for Disappointing Set at Their Own Festival.
Fans seemingly were upset that the band didn’t play “two unique sets” at the Tool in the Sand fest in Punta Cana
Tool’s first-ever destination festival took place over the weekend in the Dominican Republic, and it appears that the band was booed at the end of its second show of the fest for not living up to its promise of playing “two unique sets.”
The Tool in the Sand Festival in Punta Cana kicked off on Friday (March 7th), with the band slated to play two shows over two nights, headlining a lineup that also included Primus, Coheed and Cambria, Mastodon, and more.
It seems like the band’s performance on Friday night (March 7th) was well received, as they played a 10-song set that included tracks from all five of their studio albums, including favorites like “Schism,” “Stinkfist,” and “Vicarious.”
The disappointment apparently came at the end of the band’s second show on Saturday night (March 8th), which saw the band play nine songs, four of which they performed the night before (“Fear Inoculum,” “Jambi,” “Pneuma,” and “Rosetta Stoned”).
Video footage posted on Reddit (see below) seemingly shows fans booing the band, as well as screaming “fuck you” and flipping the bird. Comments on Reddit and Facebook suggest that the fans were not only upset by the repeat songs but also a relatively short set.
One fan wrote on Reddit, “Friday night was extremely good but Saturday night was definitely a let down in length, variety and style. The whole reason I did this was to see two different sets and be able to walk back to the [hotel] room.”
