A Perfect Circle, who recently wrapped up a sold out U.S. tour, return to the road this fall and will stop at UTEP at 8 p.m. Oct. 26. The band’s spring outing is their first U.S. tour in six years.

“It was as if they never left, both in terms of the sharpness of their performance and the contemporary relevancy… of their catalog,” said the Las Vegas Review Journal in their review of the opening evening. As the band worked its way through the month of U.S. dates, Maynard James Keenan dubbed the outing the “get to know ya/re-get to know ya” tour, a nod to the band’s hiatus and news of their forthcoming album. A Perfect Circle headlined Welcome to Rockville, Fort Rock and Carolina Rebellion before concluding the tour with an “enthralling” (Orange County Register), “rapturous” (Buzzbands) sold out, debut performance at the Hollywood Bowl.

VIP packages will be available. For more details, visit aperfectcircle.com. The Beta Machine opens.

The band’s current lineup is Maynard James Keenan (Tool, Puscifer), Billy Howerdel (Ashes Divide), James Iha (Tinted Windows, ex-Smashing Pumpkins), Jeff Friedl (Puscifer, The Beta Machine) and Matt McJunkins (Eagles of Death Metal, The Beta Machine).

Ticket prices: $45 and $65 plus applicable fees. Tickets are available at the UTEP Ticket Center, Ticketmaster outlets, and online at www.ticketmaster.com.
