This event will fuse world-class music with the luxury of the Dominican Republic, creating an immersive rock adventure like no other.”Festication co-founder Donnie Estopinal reflects on his history with TOOL, sharing a memorable moment from 1996: “I had a sold-out rave at the State Palace with the CRYSTAL METHOD and Keoki, and the venue booked TOOL on the same night. It was a mess flipping the room. There were so many people outside that the cops were going to shut us down, so we just opened the doors at the end of the TOOL concert. Anyone who wanted to stay did — and a lot of them stayed. It’s still part of NOLA lore today, and I still see people talking about it on message boards.”Reflecting on this upcoming festival, Donnie adds: “Booking TOOL nearly 30 years later feels like my career has come full circle. It’s incredible to go from that unforgettable night in New Orleans to now curating their first destination festival. This is the kind of experience I’ve always dreamed of bringing to fans — something immersive, intimate, and legendary.”TOOL, the Grammy Award-winning band, stands as one of the most dynamic and influential rock bands in the world today, delivering live performances that transcend the usual boundaries of rock and metal. Known for their genre-defying sound, TOOL blends progressive metal mastery with atmospheric, ethereal experiences. As the sun sets over the Dominican Republic, the band, featuring Maynard James Keenan, Danny Carey, Justin Chancellor and Adam Jones will take the spotlight with jaw-dropping performances. Their shows have been compared to monumental performances from legends like IRON MAIDEN, GUNS N’ ROSES and AC/DC, but TOOL offers something distinct—an immersive, interstellar journey from earth-shaking breakdowns to soaring vocal melodies.Lineup:TOOLPRIMUSMASTODONCOHEED AND CAMBRIAEAGLES OF DEATH METALKING’S XFISHBONEWHEELCKYMOONWALKERFor more information on the festival and to secure your spot at this rock getaway, visit toolinthesand.com.Schedules and more details will be shared soon.
