Candlelight - Tribute to TOOL

Candlelight: A Tribute to TOOL offers a unique reinterpretation of the progressive metal band's catalog. This performance will feature classical musicians playing instrumental versions of TOOL's work, providing a different perspective on their complex arrangements and sonic textures. It’s a chance to hear familiar songs in an unfamiliar, stripped-down setting. This Candlelight event takes place on Saturday, October 17, 2026, at the Fleet Science Center in San Diego. The museum setting often provides a visually interesting backdrop for these kinds of shows, and the acoustics are usually quite good. It's a seated, intimate format that appeals to fans looking for a focused listening experience.
