A Perfect Circle have released a new song, “To Whom It May Concern,” and announced a large tour that runs from North America to South America, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and Hawaii, according to Stereogum.
New song and video
The track is out now on BMG. Stereogum describes it as having gothy guitar twinkles, booming drums and a polished but mystical sense of grandeur, and says it fits the band’s established style. A video directed by RIZZ accompanies the release. The song follows “Starless,” a rock radio hit the band released in May. A Perfect Circle are now officially a duo.
The release adds to a busy period for frontman Maynard James Keenan. Tool have headlined several festivals this year, and his band Puscifer put out the album Normal in February.
North American dates
The tour begins next spring with a run of amphitheaters and arenas across North America. It opens April 13 in Vancouver, followed by Calgary, Edmonton and Winnipeg. Puscifer join the band for those Canadian shows, as well as two nights in Niagara Falls, Ontario, and a stop at Detroit’s Fox Theatre.
From April 27, the Cult take over as the support act. That leg includes:
Boston, Uncasville, Camden and Newark. Later stops include Nashville, Chicago, Denver’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Seattle, Portland and the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on June 6. The band will also play two nights at Fontainebleau Las Vegas on June 10 and 11. The North American run ends June 13 in Phoenix.
International leg
After a break, the band will head overseas in the fall, with Puscifer again supporting. The dates start November 25 in Mexico City. They continue with São Paulo, Buenos Aires and Santiago.
The band then plays Australia and New Zealand: Adelaide on December 4, Melbourne on December 6, Brisbane on December 8, two Sydney shows on December 10 and 11, and Auckland on December 13. They will then play Tokyo on December 15 and Osaka on December 17. The tour closes December 19 at Honolulu’s Neal S. Blaisdell Arena.
One Kentucky date, in Elizabethtown on May 19, still lists its venue as to be announced. Stereogum also points readers to its recent “We’ve Got A File On You” interview with Keenan.
