“Sessanta”, the sold-out tour that brought PUSCIFER, PRIMUS and A PERFECT CIRCLE together — not only sharing the stage but also swapping musicians throughout an unforgettable evening celebrating Maynard James Keenan‘s 60th birthday — returns for a six-week U.S. trek in spring 2025.
“The ‘Sessanta’ run was by far the most fun and delicious extended birthday party I’ve ever had thanks to all of the attendees and the master musicianship of PRIMUS, PUSCIFER and A PERFECT CIRCLE. No comparison,” Keenan shares. “Decided we need to share this with people who missed the first round in places we couldn’t get to. Strap in.”
Reviews from the first round of tour dates noted just how inspiring and atypical the evening was. SPIN highlighted “Sessanta”‘s “eclectic” nature, noting the tour’s double-decker stage design, dynamic light show, and the bands’ non-musical, on-stage antics. Relix said it was a collectively “exhilarating performance,” and The Vinyl District captured the essence of “Sessanta”, adding that it “felt like a party that everyone was excited to be at.”
While each group performs their distinctive sets, the musicians continually rotate throughout the night. PRIMUS members join PUSCIFER‘s performance, A PERFECT CIRCLE‘s bandmates pop up during PRIMUS‘s set, and so on. Special guests on the previous performances included Troy Van Leeuwen, James Iha, Sean Lennon, Paz Lenchantin and Keenan‘s TOOL bandmates: Danny Carey, Justin Chancellor and Adam Jones.
In an interview with Revolver, PUSCIFER‘s Mat Mitchell, who serves as the architect of the evening, shared that “from a technical point, it’s more like an award show and less like a concert,” before going on to say that his favorite part of bringing ‘Sessanta’ together is “that it’s not one band, and then another band, and then another band.”
A commemorative “Sessanta E.P.P.P.” was released earlier this year, featuring one new track from A PERFECT CIRCLE, PUSCIFER and PRIMUS, each co-written by Keenan.
