Tool Reportedly Facing Potential Class Action Lawsuit Over 'Tool Live In The Sand' Setlist Disappointment

It seems that the disappointment experienced by some fans at the recent first-ever ‘Tool Live In The Sand‘ destination festival headlined by progressive metal stars Tool may result in a class-action lawsuit. By now you’ve likely heard that the acclaimed multi-platinum band’s pair of headlining shows this past weekend on the beaches of Punta Cana, Dominican Republic underwhelmed at least a few attendees.

The chief issue is that despite back-to-back performances on March 07th & 08th, the group opted to provide little setlist variance, including the same four songs (“Fear Inoculum“, “Rosetta Stoned“, “Pneuma” and “Jambi“) during  both sets. See below for how the concerts played out.

Friday, March 07th:

“Stinkfist”
“Fear Inoculum”
“Rosetta Stoned”
“Pneuma”
“Jambi”
“Schism”
“The Grudge”
“The Flood”
“Invincible”
“Vicarious” (first time since 2020)

Saturday, March 08th:

“Fear Inoculum”
“Ænema”
“Rosetta Stoned”
“Pneuma”
“Jambi”
“Descending”
“Chocolate Chip Trip”
“Intolerance”
“Swamp Song”

With a premium price being paid to attend the event given its tropical locale, that decision did not sit well with some fans who attended. As seen below, angry fans even took to booing the group during the second night of the festival after the band decided to repeat several songs from the opening show.

Now an advertisement is purportedly circulating on Facebook from a lawyer who appears to be gauging potential interest in filing a class action suit against the band for allegedly underdelivering on the festival’s claims to serve up ‘two unique headlining sets’ from the band. A screencap of that post, which recently began circulating on Reddit as well, can be found below:

The band themselves have yet to publicly address the wave of backlash they’ve been experiencing since performing at the festival. They’ll next be onstage later this week as part of their first Latin American headlining tour to date, hitting the following cities:

03/15 Mexico City, MEX – Azteca Stadium Esplanade
03/18 Guadalajara, MEX – Calle 2 (feat. The Cult & Seven Hours After Violet)
03/22 Buenos Aires, ARG – Lollapalooza Argentina
03/23 Santiago, CHL – Lollapalooza Chile
03/28 Bogotá, COL – Festival Estereo Picnic
03/30 São Paulo, BRA – Lollapalooza Brasil
