Tool, Primus playing Pensacola in Jan.

Two of the heaviest and most popular bands to rise in the ’90s will join forces at the Pensacola Bay Center next year.

Tool and Primus will perform Jan. 30.

Pioneering progressive metal band Tool last performed in Pensacola in 2007, with a sold-out show at the then-Pensacola Civic Center. The influential band has won three Grammy Awards and has twice topped the Billboard albums chart. The band’s best-known songs include “Sober,” “Stinkfist,” “Schism,” “Vicarious” and “The Pot.” The band has not released a new album since 2006’s chart-topping “10,000 Days,” but after some legal complications, is said to be at work on its next album.

Equally at home with alternative rock, progressive, funk, metal and jam band audiences, Primus last visited the Pensacola area as part of the 2011 Hangout Music Fest. Since that time, singer/bassist Les Claypool and guitarist Larry LaLonde have reunited with drummer Tim Alexander, reconstituting the most commercially successful version of the band that scored big alternative-rock successes with songs such as “Jerry Was a Racecar Driver,” “Tommy the Cat,” “My Name is Mud,” “Mr. Krinkle” and “Wynona’s Big Brown Beaver” in the early to mid-’90s. The band’s most recent album, 2014’s “Primus & the Chocolate Factory with the Fungi Ensemble,” is a re-imagining of the soundtrack from the classic 1971 movie “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.”

Canadian industrial-rock band 3Teeth will open the show.

Tickets are $83, and will go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday at the Pensacola Bay Center box office, Ticketmaster outlets, Ticketmaster.com and by phone at (800) 745-3000. Additional fees may apply.
