New Music and Production Details
The eccentric duo 
A Perfect Circle has issued "To Whom It May Concern," marking their second new track of the year. The release follows the success of their previous single, "Starless," which reached No. 1 on the Active Rock radio charts this week. According to guitarist and founder Billy Howerdel, the new song was written earlier this year and recorded at his Lankershim Ranch Studio located in Studio City, California. Howerdel produced the track himself, while Matty Green, known for work with U2 and Florence + The Machine, handled the mixing. The song also features longtime collaborator Josh Freese on drums.
Howerdel expressed his enthusiasm regarding the band's recent momentum and the reception of their new material:
"It’s exciting to finally get some new music out into the world, and seeing ‘Starless’ reach No. 1 at rock radio this week has made it even sweeter! The outpouring of support is so very much appreciated. ‘To Whom It May Concern’ is next up! More to come."
— Billy Howerdel
The release aligns with comments made by Maynard James Keenan in March to Full Metal Jackie, where he indicated that while he was open to more Sessanta touring, the involved bands had agreed that new music was a prerequisite for returning to the road.
2027 North American Tour and Support
The band has booked a full-fledged spring tour for 2027, kicking off April 13 in Vancouver. The run begins with several dates in Canada before moving into the United States, eventually concluding on June 13 in Phoenix. Puscifer is set to provide support for the opening Canadian shows and the Detroit stop, after which The Cult will take over as the primary support act for the remainder of the tour.
Keenan commented on the upcoming trek and his dual role with his other project:
"Very much looking forward to pulling double duty through Canada with A Perfect Circle and Puscifer. Been way, way too long. New tunes, new dance moves, new hair hats. Figure it out. #figureitout."
— Maynard James Keenan
