Fan Reviews
The concert was delayed and cut short because of a tornado. Still, the sound and quality of the bands are absurdly good.
The bad weather is not anyone’s fault, but I think the revenue could have done better. They started the show with less than half of the people in and had provided no updates on the plan to start during the storm.

It was amazing! I've been a Perfect Circle fan since day one. It was great to hear and see them in top form. I loved how the concert flowed, alternating between bands and the various collaborations. I never listened to Primus much before, but they really grew on me. Puscifer was also great. The time flew by and I loved every minute.

A Perfect Circle was phenomenal as always. Music was perfect and Maynard has such an amazing voice. 5 stars for A Perfect Circle.
The opening bands were awful, but A Perfect Circle made up for it.
The Hulu theater was not an enjoyable venue. The seating is tight and it was actually very warm in the theater. I'd give the venue 3 stars.

First time seeing any form of MJK projects and would have had nothing but superlatives to say. However, even though the performance was outstanding, the fans were less so. As if expecting the next Tool album to be included in their APC ticket purchase, the crowd on the floor was so constipated with misplaced negative energy, they actually booed the opening act, and refused to hear the message of even the music of A Perfect Circle. Namely, wake up and get out of your little island of entitlement.

The sound of MJK's voice filled the arena and it was very moving. He has a gift and all of us are privileged to be able to enjoy listening to it. The band itself is in a class of their own. Makes me glad to be alive. I took my 17 year old daughter and she too was moved to tears due to Maynard's voice and the musicianship of the band. I would just like to thank A Perfect Circle for coming back together and creating one of the greatest albums in the history of music.

It was great! My first time seeing them live. Yeah, sucked not being allowed to take pics or videos, but whatever. The only thing that disappointed me most was the new version of 3 Libras. It’s my favorite of their and it was kind of a disaster. Didn’t recognize it at all until the end when you finally hear a few lyrics then it was done. All in all, it was awesome, he sounds incredible live!

I have seen Tool and APC numerous times over the years and I have never heard Maynard's voice sound so clear and melodic. Overall sound of the band was near perfect.
Thank God I dug into the comments on the Bandsintown app to find out who the opening act was. I was shocked to see that Tricky was one of the two openers! Why this wasn't marketed is beyond me. Tricky has been making amazing music for over 20 years and put on an amazing (but way too short) set of solo and Massive Attack tunes.
This new venue is nice although the beer lines were way too long and they ran out of everything except Coors Light.
The most disappointing thing was the low turnout for this show. They played Madison Square Garden the night before, yet barely filled two thirds of this much smaller arena. With so many empty seats, it was hard to get a good crowd vibe going.
I nitpicked some things but, overall, APC couldn't have been better and the sound was impeccable.

Really enjoyed A Perfect Circles set. I gave it 4 stars for two very annoying reasons. First the no camera announcement was played on loop outside the theater and was a super frustrating concert experience. Then the band annouces your welcome to take out your phones for the last song, didn't land very well.
Second, I assume the headliner stipulates the opening acts on what type of volume they can play or the headliner brought addition speakers and didn’t open them up to the opening acts.
The simple outcome was the opening acts experience was more of a Hight School PA auditorium levels from our 204 section seats that were $240 for two tickets. So a premium cost venue with a PA decibel level experience. Its a rock concert even if your adjusting dB levels for your aging demographic please still provide your open acts the ability to be heard and enjoyed.
Otherwise, Perfect Circle has great energy and played a good mix of the old tunes and new content. I loved the color scheme to highlight which album the song came from, it was a very cool and welcomed touch.

Loved the show!!! 2 reasons I couldn’t give it 5 stars. 1, is the set list. I knew songs from the new album would be played, of course, only wish they had played some more of their older songs as well. Also, HATE the version of 3 Libras they are playing now. Makes no sense to me to change such such an epic , awesome song. The “new” version just sounds like a mess. Can’t even hear the words through all the “techno” type crap they did to it. 2, hated that we never really saw MJK. Focused more on the music, yes...but wish we could have seen him perform out with the band. He stood in a shadow in the back the ENTIRE time, and left abruptly before the end of the last song. Love APC, always have, always will. Would def see them again. Just my opinions.
Charlotte, NC@Bojangles' Coliseum
I love APC and they put on an amazing show. My only frustration is the stupid chairs on the floor. Could someone tell Maynard that if we promise to not use a camera can we have a real GA? Either way “Grandpa” gave us a great gift with his voice and a brief usage of our cameras. Thank you.
West Valley City, UT@Maverik Center
It was an excellent show, they had great stage presence! The lightning was a little dim but I am sure that was intentional. We had the stage tour package and that was good. We were served milk and cookies in place of wine due to Utah laws on importing alcohol. I don’t drink though so that in fine with me. 🤣😂🤣 all around great show and sound was better than most in that venue.
West Valley City, UT@Maverik Center
As usual Maynard was out of sight for the gig. The sound varied a lot but at least his vocals were clear. It went from bone shaking bass to quite feeble bass on the package, (the only song I wanted extreme bass!) a good selection across the albums. We all want a certain song to be played and feel great if we get it but think if only they had played...last night was no different. Come out of the shadows now and again Keenan but keep up the good work.

Visually it was beautiful. All the lights that was on the scene and out of the scene made the atmospheric behind the songs even deeper. However me and I feel a lot of people around me waited for more old songs. I understand it’s a promo tour of the new album but still ;) it was really interesting experience to see them for the first time. Maynard is extremely good vocalist. One can’t take eyes off him and his moves. So fluent ahh <3
Oslo, Norway@Oslo Spektrum Arena
Usual Maynard, shadowed. (HBD) No James :( [I wanted my joke] but glad SP back :) New guy sucked, lmao. Typical Billy, ugh. Great Josh. Too many new slow songs in set, not enough that made em famous. Not even a Judith ffs. (actually kinda glad, lol) Coulda been worse, but glad I seen em again.
Santa Barbara, CA@Arlington Theatre
Great concert, impressive lighting. Maynard still sounds the same and the new stuff is great. The only problem with APC concerts is that they draw Tool fans which for the most part are total tools themselves and the assigned seating means getting away from them and there inane homophobic quips is impossible. Once you tune them out and focus on the music and show life is good.
Chicago, IL@UIC Pavilion
They put on a great show. I was just a bit disappointed they didn't play Judith, though. Also, cameras weren't allowed, including camera phones. If they caught you, you could be ejected. That sucked because I like having at least a few photos or videos to remember the event better. Still, it was great seeing A Perfect Circle in concert for my first time.
El Paso, TX@Don Haskins Center
Show was amazing, it was my first time seeing APC live. The venue was nice and the seats were great but the event staff was overly aggressive with the no cellphone policy. Saw a couple of scuffles break out with security and they kept blasting their flashlights into the crowd at people of their cellphones. The flashlights in the face every few minutes did put a damper on it for the rest of us, especially since APC is a total live experience and the light show is part of that. Unless one of my favorites artists comes to this venue I will not be returning.
Houston, TX@Smart Financial Centre SOLD OUT
Amazing show and great sound. Getting to hear some of my fav songs live for the first time and with the impressive skill and quality of performance from James and billy was like a dream come true. A little bummed they didn't play my favs (Pet, Judith, and 3 Libras) but so glad I finally got to see them; 14 year old me would be so proud. One day, I hope I'll be able to shake their hands. Just amazing work.
San Francisco, CA@Bill Graham Civic Auditorium
Sound, stage lighting, set playlist were good. The band and Maynard unfortunately have lost a step. Fifth time seeing Maynard And his age is catching up to him. His range and power have suffered. He was funny between songs. They played imagine (Beatles cover from emotive) and that was a welcome surprise. Three libras was butchered
