For the first time in almost 15 years, American supergroup A Perfect Circle return to Australia in 2026.
The band formed by guitarist-songwriter Billy Howerdel and Tool's vocalist Maynard James Keenan, will land in Australia this December, their first visit down under since 2013.
The 'Judith', 'The Outsider' and '3 Libras' hitmakers will headline concerts in Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney, with Maynard James Keenan pulling double duty as he brings his third band Puscifer along for the ride.
Although they've had a number of dormant periods with long hiatuses, A Perfect Circle have released four albums throughout their career: 'Mer de Noms' (2000), 'Thirteenth Step' (2003), 'Emotive' (2004), and 'Eat The Elephant' (2018).
2018 was the band's most recent period of regular touring following the release of 'Eat The Elephant'. Their most recent release was 2024 single 'Kindred', that also saw A Perfect Circle perform a select number of North American dates to celebrate Keenan's 60th birthday.
Australian A Perfect Circle fans have been waiting in anticipation for an announcement following the unveiling of a massive European 2026 tour last year (including playing Rock am Ring and Rock im Park in Germany), the band's first headline outing since 2018.
Alongside frequent collaborators Mat Mitchell and Carina Round, Puscifer have released five studio albums, including 'Normal Isn't that dropped last month – it's the band's first record since 2020's 'Existential Reckoning'.
Known for blending dark electronic textures, post-punk atmospherics, and theatrical storytelling into a singular live experience, Puscifer is a vehicle for sonic and visual storytelling on stages worldwide and on screen through videos, animation, and other content.
It's a 21st-century freak show where anything goes, everyone is welcome, and nothing is off-limits; the band living by the mantra: 'Life is short. Create something with every breath you draw.'
Tickets on sale from 9am (local time) on 20 March.
