Hopefully, 2027, you know, that\u2019s the goal.\u201d After the interviewer noted how \u201ccinematic\u201d Tool\u2019s concerts are, Carey teased the Sphere talks. \u201cYeah, we\u2019re very much into that,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re hoping when we release the new record, maybe do a stint at the Sphere \u2019cause I think we\u2019re the perfect band for that. We\u2019ve been talking to those guys.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe preparation is pretty intense to get everything up and everything,\u201d he continued. \u201cIt\u2019s a very expensive endeavor, and it takes a while to get into the black.

I haven\u2019t actually seen a full-on show, but they took [us around the venue] to show it off. It\u2019s incredible, man.
