Puscifer: European Tour

Puscifer, who are about to embark on their first European tour since 2016, have added an intimate London performance, June 14 at the O2 Forum Kentish Town, to their previously announced four-week trek.

The band was initially slated to play the O2 Academy Brixton but due to the venue’s long term closure, Puscifer was initially forced to scuttle plans for a London outing, ultimately slating a June 8 performance at Download Festival. However, both the band and concertgoers were still hoping for a London show, resulting in today’s eagerly-awaited news.

“Phew! Ginormous sigh of relief,” says Maynard James Keenan. “Was terrified we weren’t going to be able to secure a London venue and deliver a proper probing to our extended fam over the pond!”

Tickets for the newly announced show are on-sale this Friday at 9 a.m. BST. Tickets for all of the band’s upcoming performances, both in the U.S. and throughout Europe, are on-sale now via Puscifer.com/tour.

Born somewhere in the Arizona desert, Puscifer is an electro-rock band, multimedia experience, traveling circus, and alien abduction survivors. The group’s catalog consists of four full-length studio albums: V is for Vagina [2007], Conditions of My Parole [2011], Money Shot [2015], and Existential Reckoning [2020] — in addition to a series of EPs and remix collections, including the recently released Existential Reckoning: Re-Wired [2023]. Beyond the core trio of Maynard James Keenan [vocals], Mat Mitchell [guitar, production], and Carina Round [vocals, songwriting], the group’s ever-evolving ecosystem encompasses Greg Edwards (bass, guitar, keys), Gunnar Olsen (drums), as well as a cast of characters such as Billy D and his wife Hildy Berger, Major Douche, Special Agent Dick Merkin, and many more. Meanwhile, the moniker’s origins can be traced to a 1995 episode of the HBO classic Mr. Show where Keenan first used the name “Puscifer.” In addition to tallying tens of millions of streams and views, they’ve piqued the curiosity of the press. Entertainment Weekly christened them, “Exceptionally groovy,” and Revolver fittingly described them as “indescribable.” Renowned for an immersive live show, the group’s performances blur the lines between concert and theater, traversing the dusty American Southwest with Billy D and Hildy or the sweaty squared circle with Luchadores. They’ve brought their unique live experience to life everywhere from Coachella to Bonnaroo. On their 2020 debut for Alchemy Recordings/Puscifer Entertainment/BMG entitled Existential Reckoning, Puscifer track Billy D back to the desert and, just maybe, uncover the truth about aliens once and for all.
