A Perfect Circle Announces Dates For North American Tour

A Perfect Circle revealed via Twitter that a North American tour was in the works last month, even revealing a few Canadian and festival dates. But today, exact dates and venues for the band’s first full blown tour since returning from hiatus have been confirmed. The supergroup, featuring Maynard James Keenan, guitarists Billy Howerdel and James Iha, drummer John Freese, and bassist Matt McJunkins, will be on the road for a majority of July and August, in addition to their Rock On The Range Appearance in May.

While the group marked their return with a handful of special West Coast shows at the end of 2010 (seeing them perform albums in their entirety per night), this marks A Perfect Circle’s first full tour and dates in the East Coast in six years. And since new APC music is in the works, there’s a strong chance fans will get to hear a new song or two at a show this Summer.

The dates for A Perfect Circle’s Summer tour are as follows:

5/22 – Columbus, OH – Rock on the Range
6/29 – Portland, OR – Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall
6/30 – Kent, WA – Showare Center

On a side note, rumors are starting to hit the web that A Perfect Circle will be performing at this year’s Lollapalooza. Seeing as how Chicago (the city where the festival takes place) has been left off the list of tour dates, the rumor isn’t too far of a stretch to believe. We’ll keep you posted if more develops.
