Tool could face class action lawsuit after “disappointing” fans at their own festival

Tool could face a class action lawsuit after disappointing fans at their inaugural Tool In The Sand festival in the Dominican Republic.The band kicked off their first-ever destination music bash in the Caribbean this past weekend (March 7 and 8) in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, across two resorts.

They were slated to perform two headlining slots and promised fans “two unique sets” – which some thought meant there would be no crossovers of tracks.However, Tool did not break out an entirely different setlist on the second night, leaving some fans disappointed and annoyed.

Now, it looks like there is a possible lawsuit on the way.One fan in attendance, Stas Rusek, is a Georgia-based lawyer and believes fans should be entitled to compensation and is asking other fans who were left disappointed to join in a class action lawsuit against Tool.During their second headlining slot, Tool only played a nine-song set, with some of the songs being repeats from the night before, leading to the audience booing them.In a statement shared with Metal Hammer, Rusek says: “The potential lawsuit against the promoters of Tool In The Sand is indeed being investigated.

We have had lots of interest from Tool fans who attended the festival, a category which I personally fall into.“These were my 27th and 28th Tool shows.
