American rock supergroup A Perfect Circle have announced their return to the United Kingdom in 2026, scheduling just two headline shows at London’s O2 Academy Brixton on June 3 and June 4. The band, formed in 1999 by guitarist Billy Howerdel and vocalist Maynard James Keenan of Tool, had not toured the UK since their 2018 European run.

Howerdel shared the news in a message to fans on October 27, emphasising, ‘‘To our European friends, we miss you.

It’s been far too long… like seven years too long.

We found a solution.’’ The shows promise the band’s trademark blend of atmospheric soundscapes, moody textures and hits such as ‘‘Judith’’ and ‘‘The Outsider’’.

Ticket sales are set to proceed in three phases: first, an artist pre-sale beginning October 29 at 10 a.m. GMT, followed by Spotify and AEG pre-sales on October 30 at 10 a.m. GMT, and then general public sale via official ticketing platforms from October 31 at 10 a.m. GMT.

With just two UK shows slated, high demand is expected and early access is advised.

Although festival appearances and further European dates may follow, the announcement currently focuses solely on these London dates.

Fans are encouraged to act quickly, given the tight schedule and limited seats.
