Tool has announced a new festival in the Dominican Republic called Live in the Sand, and to say it looks promising is an understatement. The fest, which will take place from March 7 to 9, 2025, will feature two nights of Tool and performances by Primus, Mastodon, Coheed and Cambria, Eagles of Death Metal, King’s X, Fishbone, Wheel, CKY, and Moon Walker.

That lineup will include a dizzying amount of bass talent, including Justin Chancellor, Les Claypool, Troy Sanders, Zach Cooper, Jennie Vee, dUg Pinnick, Aroyn Day, and Ronnie Elvis James. Additionally, Tool’s longtime artistic collaborators, Alex Grey, and Allyson Grey, will be in attendance.

“We couldn’t be more thrilled to share the news that Primus, Mastodon, and Coheed and Cambria will be joining us for our first-ever Caribbean performance at ‘Tool in the Sand,’” says Tool. “2025 is shaping up nicely, see you all there for what should be an unforgettable weekend of music!”

Live in the Sand will be held in Punta Cana. Packages for the event go on sale October 30th at 10 am PT. Fans can choose accommodation between the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Resorts. Aside from the music, fans can take excursions to ride ziplines, go snorkeling, take a Catamaran voyage, and more.
