  "account": "King Crimson's tribute supergroup, BEAT, has unveiled their Fall 2026 North American tour lineup. Drummer Terry Bozzio, formerly of Frank Zappa and Missing Persons, replaces Tool's Danny Carey who is unavailable due to his commitments. The remaining members are King Crimson alumni Adrian Belew and Tony Levin, alongside guitarist Steve Vai. The 40-date tour begins on October 9th in Santa Cruz, California and concludes on December 3rd in Riverside, California. Tickets are available via pre-sale code BEATTOUR on Ticketmaster, with a general sale starting August 7th at 10 a.m. local time. Vai praised Bozzio, stating \"Terry is one of the truly legendary drummers of our time\" and highlighted Carey's significant contribution to BEAT's identity. Despite Tool's lack of tour dates for the rest of 2026, they may be focusing on their upcoming studio project following 2019's Fear Inoculum. BEAT's tour will also feature additional material from King Crimson's '90s era. VIP packages include meet & greet opportunities and on-stage experiences. Full tour dates are as follows: October 9th in Santa Cruz, California; October 10th in Napa, California at Blue Note Napa Summer Sessions; October 11th in San Diego, California; and continues until December 3rd in Riverside, California.",
