Over the weekend, Tool hosted their inaugural destination festival in the Dominican Republic. The band faced backlash following their second performance, as fans booed the group for not delivering on their promise of playing “two unique sets” at the “Tool in the Sand Festival” in Punta Cana. Despite a well-received performance on Friday that featured a 10-song setlist that drew from all five of the band’s studio albums, disappointment arose during the second show on Saturday when Tool played four songs identical to the previous night during a comparatively short set. “They quit 30 minutes early tonight,” a dissatisfied fan wrote on Facebook. “I think it’s a breach of contract and they owe us a refund for tonight.” Amidst the controversy, Tool is scheduled to play their first-ever South American shows this spring, while frontman Maynard James Keenan‘s other projects A Perfect Circle and Puscifer are hitting the road on the “Sessanta V2.0” tour with Primus beginning in April.
