A Perfect Circle return to Europe this summer with the Maynard James Keenan (Tool, Puscifer) and Billy Howerdel (Ashes Divide)-led band performing their first live shows on the continent since 2018. News of the headlining dates, which include back-to-back outings at London’s O2 Academy Brixton and a performance at Berlin’s Zitadelle, follow several festival announcements featuring the band, including Copenhell, Rock Im Park, Rock Am Ring, and Nova Rock.
Puscifer, the multi-dimensional band featuring Maynard James Keenan, Mat Mitchell, and Carina Round, releases Normal Isn’t, their first new album in over five years, on Feb. 6 via Puscifer Entertainment/Alchemy Recordings/BMG. The record channels the post-punk influences that shaped the members’ early musical experiences while pushing into darker, more guitar-driven territory. The band previews the 11-song collection with the release of “Self Evident” and its accompanying video filmed during a special August performance at Exchange L.A., where the group previewed the album in full for an intimate crowd of fans. Watch the “Self Evident” video directed by Mat Mitchell and María Aceves Diego and pre-order the album now!
