On Sunday, 18 May 2025 Primus, Puscifer, and A Perfect Circle brought their Sessanta 2.0 tour to EagleBank Arena in Fairfax, Virginia. These bands came together at the first Sessanta tour in 2024 (covered by DS head honcho Jay Stone) to celebrate Maynard James Keenan’s 60th birthday. The bands had so much fun that they decided to do it again in 2025!
The bands started off with short sets, then transitioned to mixing it up with different band members joining in on each other’s songs. All three bands came together for the final song, “Grand Canyon“, where everyone was onstage and rocking out together. The collaborative format was teased in the Sessanta promos, which dubbed the bands “Primifer, A Primus Circle, A Puscifect Primcle, and A Prifmect Puscicle.” The final song was also the only time fans were allowed to use their phones to photograph the moment for themselves, as there was a “NO Photo Policy” during the show. Maynard James Keenan has said he feels it’s important for people to be present and /enjoy the show without the use of technology.

This night was an extra special night because A Perfect Circle founder and guitarist Billy Howerdel celebrated his 55th birthday on stage in front of fans.
Speaking of legendary musicians, while traveling through Cottonwood, Arizona in October 2024, my hubby and I stumbled upon a cool new record store that had just opened up called “Queen Bee Vinyl,” only learning it was Maynard’s record store once inside. Be sure to check it out!
We also stopped by Merkins Vineyard, and highly recommend snagging your own bottle of Maynard’s wine.
Go see the show if you haven’t and experience it for yourself.
