A Perfect Circle

About

A Perfect Circle is an American rock band founded in Los Angeles in the late 1990s by guitarist Billy Howerdel and Tool vocalist Maynard James Keenan. Over four studio albums they carved out a distinct space in alternative metal - darker and more melodic than Tool, with a theatrical live presentation that includes a strict no-phones policy. In 2026 the band returned to European stages for the first time in eight years, releasing the new single 'Starless' ahead of an extensive world tour.
