A Perfect Circle

Former Better Lovers vocalist Greg Puciato has announced he’s got another run of reunion dates on deck with electronic project the Black Queen, throughout which they’ll be celebrating the 10th anniversary of their debut album, 2016’s Fever Daydream. A newly announced leg of U.S. tour dates were announced today (June 23rd), and they kick off September 9th at Pioneertown, California’s Pappy Harriet’s. The 22-show trip runs through the Mid-West, hits the East Coast for a few dates, and then snaps back westward. The tour caps October 9th at Phoenix, Arizona’s aptly dubbed Final Exit venue. As previously reported, the Black Queen — co-founded by Puciato and former Nine Inch Nails/Dillinger Escape Plan tour tech Steven Ryan Alexander — linked up earlier in 2026 for their first shows since 2019. The lineup is rounded out by former Coheed and Cambria drummer Chris Pennie and Nine Inch Nails/A Perfect Circle collaborator Danny Lohner. That spring tour similarly hit both coasts, and found the act performing Fever Daydream in full. “When we announced the first tour back, after seven years of not playing, we were excited, but we couldn’t predict the reaction,” Puciato said in a statement, while reflecting on the first leg of reunion dates. “We couldn’t even predict how we’d ourselves feel once we got going. We also didn’t know at the time that we’d be joined by Danny Lohner and [drummer Chris Pennie. Once we got this new chapter up and running, and all the pieces and personnel on and offstage snowballed their way into place, and we saw and heard you again in person, this whole thing became filled with new life, with new ideas, with new musical dynamics and interpretations. “Now suddenly this is the most excited we’ve ever been for this band, and Fever Daydream, which has always been special to us, feels as new and real and tangible to us as it did when we were first building it over a decade ago. What started as a ‘looking back’ celebration of an album, has suddenly become a real time celebration of a new chapter of possibilities and memories for us personally and creatively. Puciato has teased that a third album, which would follow 2018’s Infinite Games, could be a possibility. The band have been performing new songs “Non-Consent” and “Maybe We Should” in concert. Tickets for the newly announced headline shows go up for sale this Friday (June 26th) at 10 a.m. local time. The run of dates is down below, while ticketing info can be found here.
