A Perfect Circle rolls out first headlining arena run
Mood-rock outfit A Perfect Circle , whose sophomore album has sold well over a half-million copies, graduates to arenas during its spring headlining jaunt.
The group launches the outing in mid-March, and dates are confirmed into mid-April. The itinerary so far focuses on the West and Midwest.
Media company Fuse--which bills itself as "the nation's only all-music, viewer-influenced television network"--is sponsoring the run. Ticket on-sale information will be posted at the company's website, and at A Perfect Circle's website.
Fuse's website will also feature tour footage and streaming interviews with the band, according to a press release.
"Thirteenth Step," A Perfect Circle's sophomore set, surfaced last fall and debuted at No. 2 on The Billboard 200 album chart. The album features the hit single "Weak & Powerless," which topped the Modern Rock and Active Rock radio charts. The song's companion video is streaming at the band's website.
A Perfect Circle's all-star lineup features singer Maynard James Keenan (also of Tool), guitarist Billy Howerdel, drummer Josh Freese, guitarist James Iha (ex-Smashing Pumpkins) and bassist Jeordie White (ex-Marilyn Manson).
