“They reached out to Software to see if they might be fascinated by doing this occasion. That’s what they do with musical artists. TOOL stated yea. They instructed TOOL that it’s their imaginative and prescient and no matter they wish to do is on them and so they assist coordinate it.
“So TOOL: picks their set instances, picks their setlist (naturally) and so they all 100% knew that this was a package deal deal.
“And THEY are those that wished to promote it as 2 distinctive set lists. I’ve seen lots of people attempt to put blame on festification. It wasn’t them.

Night time 2 was the most important letdown ever. Doesn’t even really feel it was actual how dangerous and disappointing it was. Plus MJK trolling us after the repeat opener. Saying it was going to be a particular set. Unacceptable given the circumstances of how large and particular of an occasion it was alleged to be. Folks defending them are completely delusional. Particularly when you weren’t there.
“Night time 1 was nice (even tho it was all latest tour songs). That they had the possibility to do one thing superb for evening 2. At the very least one particular music like lateralus, no quarter, third eye, 7empest, eulogy, h. However they play over half of the set with repeats, play all the identical songs from latest excursions, embody Cc journey as one of many 9 songs and f*cking finish early. They have been going to shut with identical nearer as evening 1 however didn’t even play it. So opening and shutting the set with repeats plus 3 repeats in a row within the first half. I wasn’t booing or flicking them off however what within the hell have been they considering. Cease giving them excuses.”
