This is a list of tours for the American progressive rock band Tool.

Tool have performed songs by other artists occasionally in their live sets. These songs include: "Spasm" and "You Lied" (Peach), "Stranglehold" (Ted Nugent), "Demon Cleaner" (Kyuss), "No Quarter" (Led Zeppelin), and "Commando" (The Ramones).

The song "Ticks & Leeches" is only rarely performed live due to the immense strain on Keenan's voice. However, they have performed it at least a few times during their 2001 (Irvine, CA) and 2002 tours (e.g. when appearing in Sacramento, CA, Tacoma, WA, Fort Lauderdale, FL, London, and Berlin) with Keenan using heavy vocal effects and distortion.
