A Perfect Circle, Puscifier, and Primus to celebrate Maynard James Keenan's birthday with a tour
Maynard James Keenan, best known for being the vocalist of Tool as well as A Perfect Circle and Puscifier, will turn 60 on April 17, 2024. In celebration of his birthday, the latter two bands, alongside Primus, will be embarking on the "Sessanta Tour." In their announcement statement, the bands elaborated on the tour, stating:
"Sessanta is a resurrection, and expansion, of the 2014 Los Angeles event, Cinquanta, which was originally a one-time only celebration. Much like that fabled evening, which commemorated Maynard James Keenan’s landmark 50th birthday, Sessanta celebrates the Puscifer and A Perfect Circle frontman as he turns 60."
The announcement continued:
"Sessanta’s unique format sees the musicians from the trio of bands joining each other’s performances throughout the concert. While each group will have their own distinctive set, the players will continually transform as the night unfolds."
