If you managed to miss out on Maynard James Keenan’s big Sessanta celebration this year, you’re in luck: The iconic vocalist has announced he’s keeping the party going, with another round of collaborative shows between A Perfect Circle, Puscifer and Primus due to kick off in 2025.
All three acts confirmed today (September 16th) that the Sessanta tour resumes next year. A new comedic commercial explains as much, in the goofiest way possible.
It begins with a funereal setting, as members of A Perfect Circle and Puscifer mourn the apparent passing of Keenan. APC guitarist Billy Howerdel explains between sobs that they should cry their eyes out for at least “five more minutes” before getting back to their normal routines. Miraculously, Keenan pops out of his grave shouting, “Not dead,” and then surreally leans into a hacky stand-up routine that also includes info on the upcoming tour.
You can see the strange skit up above.
“The Sessanta run was by far the most fun and delicious extended birthday party I’ve ever had thanks to all of the attendees and the master musicianship of Primus, Puscifer and A Perfect Circle. No comparison,” Keenan said in a separate statement, adding that the three bands “decided we need to share this with people who missed the first round in places we couldn’t get to. Strap in.”
Billed as a Sessanta V2.0, “a 60-ish birthday celebration for Maynard James Keenan,” the dates start up again April 24th at Palm Springs, California’s Acrisure Arena, and conclude June 7th at Auburn, Washington’s White River Amphitheatre. Artist pre-sales begin this Wednesday (September 18th), while general ticket sales go up on Friday (September 20th).
You’ll find all the date details down below.
As previously reported, the initial wave of Sessanta tour dates found the members of A Perfect Circle, Puscifer and Primus sharing the stage as a multi-membered unit running through songs from their respective catalogues. The tour also coincided with the release of the bands’ three-song Sessanta E.P.P.P.
