Formed in 1999 by guitarist Billy Howerdel and Tool vocalist Maynard James Keenan, the latter will be pulling double duty when another of his projects, Puscifer—featuring Keenan, Mat Mitchell, and Carina Round—opens all Australian and New Zealand shows.

The tour begins at Adelaide’s The Drive on Friday, 4 December, followed by Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on Sunday, 6 December, Brisbane’s Riverstage on Tuesday, 8 December, Sydney’s TikTok Entertainment Centre on Friday, 11 December, and concludes at Auckland’s Spark Arena on Sunday, 13 December.

Since their formation in 1999, A Perfect Circle have released four albums and toured across the globe, with Keenan also busy with other projects. Upon the release of their 2000 debut album, Mer de Noms, the band held the record for having the highest-charting debut rock album.

Following the release of their debut album, A Perfect Circle released an additional three albums: Thirteenth Step (2003), eMOTIVe (2004), and Eat the Elephant (2018), the latter of which debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200.
