Heavy prog rockers TOOL have announced two special headline shows in Adelaide and Perth ahead of their appearance at this year’s Good Things 2025 Festival.
The Grammy Award-winning quartet have locked in two massive indoor arena shows at Adelaide’s AEC Arena on Friday 28 November and Perth’s RAC Arena on Tuesday 2 December.

TOOL will be supported by Byron Bay rockers HEADSEND, who are riding high after the release of their debut single, ‘Stove’.
The two Adelaide and Perth concerts come ahead of TOOL’s headline spot on the Good Things 2025 lineup, their first time topping an Aussie festival bill since Big Day Out 2011.
Frontier members presale begins at 1pm local time on Friday 3 October, with general on-sale commencing at 1pm local time on Tuesday 7 October. For full ticketing info, visit frontiertouring.com.
