UNCASVILLE, CT (September 29, 2026) – A Perfect Circle, the multiplatinum band featuring Billy Howerdel and Maynard James Keenan, will perform at Mohegan Sun Arena on Wednesday, April 28, 2027, as part of their extensive Spring 2027 North American tour, with The Cult joining as special guests.
Tickets go on sale Friday, October 2nd at 10:00am with a pre-sale beginning Thursday, October 1st, running from 10:00am to 10:00pm local time.
“It’s exciting to finally get some new music out into the world, and seeing ‘Starless’ reach #1 at rock radio this week has made it even sweeter! The outpouring of support is so very much appreciated. ‘To Whom It May Concern’ is next up! More to come,” said Billy Howerdel.
A Perfect Circle released “To Whom It May Concern” (apc.lnk.to/TWIMC) today, their second new single this year and the follow-up to “Starless,” which just reached #1 at Active Rock radio.
“To Whom It May Concern” was written earlier this year and recorded at Howerdel’s Lankershim Ranch Studio in Studio City, Calif. Howerdel produced the track, Matty Green (U2, Florence + the Machine, TV on the Radio) mixed it, and longtime collaborator Josh Freese plays drums.
Formed in 1999 by guitarist Billy Howerdel and vocalist Maynard James Keenan, A Perfect Circle released their debut album, Mer de Noms, in 2000. The collection debuted at #4 on the Billboard 200 and became the highest-charting debut rock album of its time. Featuring fan favorites “Judith,” “3 Libras,” and “The Hollow,” the platinum-selling release remains a defining album. Their catalog has continued to resonate, from Thirteenth Step (2003) and eMOTIVe (2004), to 2018’s Eat the Elephant, which debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200.
A Perfect Circle have headlined festivals worldwide, sold out iconic venues including the Hollywood Bowl, Madison Square Garden, and Red Rocks Amphitheatre, and appeared on late night television shows including “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and “The Tonight Show.”
