According to a post on TOOL's official web site, the band will embark on a tour this summer. No dates have yet been announced, but it is widely expected that TOOL will fill one of the remaining headlining slots for this year's Lollapalooza festival. The group would join JANE'S ADDICTION, DEPECHE MODE, THE BEASTIE BOYS, KINGS OF LEON and THE KILLERS at the top of the bill for the event, which is scheduled for August 7-9 at Grant Park in Chicago. Chicago Tribune music columnist Greg Kot was the first to report the Lollapalooza rumor, citing "multiple industry sources" for the news, although Lollapalooza organizers have yet to officially announce any acts.

A festival spokesperson told MTV.com that the lineup will be unveiled officially on April 21.

This year will be the fourth that Lollapalooza has been staged as a destination festival in the Windy City, following more than a decade as a traveling event.

Brad Angle of Guitar World magazine recently conducted an interview with TOOL guitarist Adam Jones. When asked how the songwriting process for the band's new album was coming along, Jones replied, "It's been coming along... great! [laughs] No, we've been on hiatus. I'm writing and [bassist] Justin [Chancellor]'s been writing, but [frontman] Maynard [James Keenan] has been working on his wine. We've all just been taking some time away from each other, which has been nice. I've also been working on producing some comics."
