The Sessanta tour, intended to celebrate Maynard James Keenan's 60th birthday, saw the Tool frontman embark earlier this year on a series of concert dates with his other bands A Perfect Circle and Puscifer, along with jam band legend Primus.

And although Keenan isn't turning 60 again next year, the trio of bands will take Sessanta on the road anyway.

“The Sessanta run was by far the most fun and delicious extended birthday party I’ve ever had thanks to all of the attendees and the master musicianship of Primus, Puscifer and A Perfect Circle,” Keenan said in the tour announcement. “No comparison. Decided we need to share this with people who missed the first round in places we couldn’t get to. Strap in.”

Since the tour stayed two nights at Phoenix's Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre on April 16 and 17, we're not getting another local show this time around. But considering how awesome it was, you may want to take a trip to see it in person.
