A Perfect Circle have announced a North American tour that includes a stop at Chaifetz Arena on May 17, giving St. Louis fans a chance to see Billy Howerdel and Maynard James Keenan on the same run that also visits Red Rocks and the Hollywood Bowl.
The date falls on the U.S. portion of the trek, which runs from late April through mid-June. The Cult will open the St. Louis show and the rest of the American dates. Puscifer joins A Perfect Circle only on the Canadian stretch and in Detroit.
The announcement arrives alongside the band’s second new single of 2026, “To Whom It May Concern.” It follows “Starless,” which recently reached No. 1 at Active Rock radio. Howerdel produced the new track at his Lankershim Ranch Studio in Studio City, California. Matty Green mixed it, and longtime collaborator Josh Freese played drums. The song was written earlier this year.
“It’s exciting to finally get some new music out into the world, and seeing ‘Starless’ reach No. 1 at rock radio this week has made it even sweeter,” Howerdel said. “The outpouring of support is so very much appreciated. ‘To Whom It May Concern’ is next up. More to come.”
Keenan added that he is looking forward to the upcoming run, noting it has been “way, way too long.”
Formed in 1999, A Perfect Circle broke through with 2000’s Mer de Noms, which debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 and remains a cornerstone of their catalog with songs such as “Judith,” “3 Libras,” and “The Hollow.” Later albums include Thirteenth Step, eMOTIVe, and 2018’s Eat the Elephant, which debuted at No. 3. The band has sold out venues including the Hollywood Bowl, Madison Square Garden, and Red Rocks.
Tickets for the Chaifetz Arena date go on sale Friday, Oct. 2 at 10 a.m. local time. An A Perfect Circle presale runs Wednesday, Sept. 30 at 10 a.m. through Thursday, Oct. 1 at 10 p.m. local time (password: PERFECT). Local presales are Thursday, Oct. 1 from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. local time. Additional details and on-sale information are available at APerfectCircle.com.
The May 17 St. Louis show sits between Nashville on May 15 and a later Kentucky date whose venue has not yet been announced. For local fans, it is the clearest chance in this cycle to see the band in an arena setting with a full supporting bill.
