Double bill for all our metalheads.
The Perfect Tool
The Perfect Tool is no ordinary tribute band, but an American group that brings the music of TOOL to life with exceptional precision, intensity, and visual grandeur. Their shows feel surprisingly real: those who listen can hardly hear the difference, and those who watch are swept away in an audiovisual experience that closely resembles a real TOOL show. Since their inception, the band has conquered hundreds of venues and festivals in Europe, from sold-out stages such as Vooruit and De Kreun to major events such as Graspop Metal Meeting. In April 2026, they will return to Europe for a special tour in honor of TOOL’s 35th anniversary.
What makes The Perfect Tool unique is their unparalleled attention to detail. Floating guitar sounds, contrasting drums, hypnotic bass lines, and distinctive visuals create a show that is both tribute and transcendence. Frontman Spencer Fenimore has been described as “frighteningly Maynard-esque,” with his voice and stage presence perfectly balancing tribute and obsession. During their 2026 tour, the band will present their most ambitious show to date, with a setlist featuring highlights from all Tool albums, from “Opiate” to “Fear Inoculum.” With impressive visuals and flawless execution, The Perfect Tool guarantees a compelling experience that will completely enthrall both seasoned fans and new listeners alike.
Bulls On Parade
Rage Against the Machine may have decided to never play live again, but Bulls on Parade keeps the spark alive. For more than 20 years now.
This Belgian tribute band pays honest, passionate homage to one of the most influential bands of the 1990s with the same intensity, aggression, and socially critical vision. Their shows are not copies, but a convincing re-enactment of RATM’s raw energy and message.
Frontman Thomas Van Dingenen approaches Zack de la Rocha down to the smallest nuance — from voice color to expression — while the band behind him sounds like a well-oiled machine on the verge of exploding. Clever raps, razor-sharp grooves, and a charged atmosphere make for pure catharsis.
After four appearances at Graspop Metal Meeting, two at Alcatraz, and tours through the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, and even Australia, Bulls on Parade has proven that they can turn any concert hall into a veritable war zone, anytime, anywhere.
At a time when inequality, censorship, and populism are rearing their ugly heads again, Rage’s message sounds more relevant than ever. RATM’s 1992 debut album is more relevant than ever in 2026.
