Tool carves out more tour dates

More shows continue to surface for Tool 's upcoming North American run behind its long-awaited fourth album, "10,000 Days," the itinerary for which now spills into October.

The group has penciled in a second night in Los Angeles, as well as new September shows in Phoenix, Pittsburgh and Washington, DC, and has nailed down a handful of early October dates that are scattered throughout the Northeast. Details are included below.

Earlier this month, Tool wrapped up a run on the European summer-festival circuit. The band is currently taking a break leading up to the Aug. 5 kick-off of its US arena outing, after which the group will head back to Europe for a winter headlining tour. Details about the band's Euro tour plans are posted at the group's website.

Released in May, "10,000 Days" is Tool's fourth studio album and its first since 2001's "Lateralus." The disc moved about 550,000 copies during its first week in stores, which earned it a No. 1 debut on The Billboard 200 chart.

As previously reported, Tool has recruited rock quintet Isis to open the upcoming shows. The group recently finished mixing its first new studio collection since 2004's "Panopticon," and plans to release the set on Halloween, according to the band's website.
