American alternative rock band A Perfect Circle return to Melbourne this December for the first time since 2013.

Fans have been waiting in anticipation for an announcement following the unveiling of a massive European tour last year, the band’s first headline outing since 2018.

Special guests include Puscifer, an American rock group formed in Los Angeles by Maynard James Keenan, the lead singer of Tool and A Perfect Circle, and comedian, musician and writer Dave Hill.

American alternative rock band A Perfect Circle combine atmospheric intensity, progressive songwriting and powerful performances. Formed in 1999 by Billy Howerdel and Maynard James Keenan, the band broke through with their debut Mer de Noms, featuring standout tracks “Judith” and “3 Libras”. The album became the highest-charting debut rock release at the time, setting a new benchmark for alternative and hard rock.

Across more than 25 years, the band have released Thirteenth Step, eMOTIVe and Eat the Elephant, which debuted at number 3 on the Billboard 200 and topped the Billboard Rock Albums chart. The band headlines major festivals and sells out iconic venues, including Red Rocks Amphitheatre and Madison Square Garden. With cinematic sound and commanding live shows, A Perfect Circle remain a defining force in modern rock.
