The new dates from Puscifer come on the heels of the band dropping their heavier, darker new album ‘Normal Isn’t’ earlier this year, and kicking off a North American tour in March.
Now, Maynard James Keenan, Carina Round and Mat Mitchell have confirmed that they have expanded the dates and will be bringing the tour over to Europe later this year. It will mark their first time playing on this side of the pond in three years.
Dates kick off in October with a show in Stockholm, and other dates include stops in Berlin, Zurich, Brussels and more, as well as UK and Ireland gigs in London, Manchester, Glasgow and Dublin in November.
Another of Keenan’s bands, A Perfect Circle, have also expanded their 2026 tour dates, adding new stops in Japan and Hawaii, as well as a second show in Sydney. Puscifer will join A Perfect Circle on dates across Mexico, South America, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and Hawaii.
“I just got off of a Zoom call with The Synth Whisperer, Fanny Grey, and Bellendia Black. They could barely contain their enthusiasm about taking the Puscifer ‘Normal Isn’t’ show out on its first international tour,” Keenan said.
“They were literally buzzing about going to the EU, UK, DUBLIN!, Mexico City, South America, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and Hawaii. I believe their exact words were
‘Observe. Integrate. Synthesize. Assimilate. We are on a Mission.’”
A Perfect Circle’s Billy Howerdel added: “Pretty, pretty excited to be getting back to places we haven’t played in over 20 years! Adding Japan and Hawaii to our 2026 ‘Pacific Ring of Fire’ tour, with Puscifer joining us across the world!”
Puscifer’s Carina Round also shared: “This is the first time we’re bringing ‘Normal Isn’t’ to Europe and the UK, and it will be a joy. The audiences have always been incredibly warm and welcoming. Playing in England will be especially meaningful for me personally, as it
will be my first time performing there since my mother passed. I’m really looking
forward to bringing these shows home.”

In February, Keenan and Carina Round spoke to NME about continuing to hold a mirror up to a challenging world in their new album, while also seeking a feeling of hope.
When asked if he stands by his previous statement that “good will always outweigh the bad”, Keenan told us: “Historically it has, especially in speaking about what’s happening in our corner of the world, which affects quite a few corners of the world.”
“My grandfather warned me about it when he came out of World War II and showed me photos of what he’d witnessed at Dachau. So it eventually [resolves]. But it’s that ugliness. It’s that bad wolf that’s being fed by outside influences. But while it might seem super dark at the moment, it always ends up working out because humans, at their core, are a positive light,” he added.
“A part of some people has gone down that dark path, and whatever is obliterating that light for them… I don’t know if they can be helped. Maybe they can, but there are more people who are not living under a rock or in whatever hatred hell they live in.”
