A Perfect Circle Australian tour 2026 is finally locked in, with the band confirming a December run across Australia and New Zealand alongside Maynard James Keenan’s other project, Puscifer.
The tour marks A Perfect Circle’s first visit to Australia since 2013 and their first New Zealand show in more than two decades, making it one of the most anticipated alternative rock tours to land down under this year.
Formed in 1999 by guitarist Billy Howerdel and Tool vocalist Maynard James Keenan, A Perfect Circle carved their place in alternative rock history with their debut album ‘Mer de Noms’, released in 2000, the record delivered favourites ‘Judith’ and ‘3 Libras’ and, at the time, became the highest charting debut rock album ever.

A Perfect Circle ‘Judith’
Puscifer
Joining them on the trek is Puscifer, the genre blurring project led by Keenan alongside Mat Mitchell and Carina Round, known for weaving dark electronics, post punk textures, and theatrical visuals into their live shows, the band recently released their latest album, ‘Normal Isn’t.’
Puscifer have built a reputation for performances that feel part concert, part art installation, their work stretches beyond music into video, animation, and an evolving cast of surreal characters that inhabit the band’s strange and playful universe.
Puscifer ‘Self Evident’
For fans of Maynard’s wider musical orbit, the pairing of A Perfect Circle and Puscifer on the same bill makes this run feel less like a standard support slot and more like a curated night inside Keenan’s creative world.
