Dubbed “Tool Live in the Sand,” the resort festival will also feature Coheed and Cambria, Eagles of Death Metal, King’s X, Fishbone, Wheel, CKY, and Moonwalker.
Tool will play two unique sets throughout the weekend; meanwhile, they’ll be joined by their longtime visual collaborators Alex Grey and Allyson Grey. Tool is partnering with live event company Festication for the event, and it will mark the band’s first ever performance in the Caribbean.

“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,’ said Tool bassist Justin Chancellor. “2025 is shaping up nicely. See you all there for what should be an unforgettable weekend of music!”
According to a press release, “Packages include a luxury resort room, unlimited food & drinks for each guest & 3-days of music. Off-site excursions will be available, including snorkeling, catamaran expeditions, rappelling, visits to eco-parks and other activities.”
