A PERFECT CIRCLE+ The Beta Machine
Xcel Energy Center
Sat 11/25/2017 (7pm/$40)
xcelenergycenter.com
Supergroup A Perfect Circle (featuring guitarist Billy Howerdel and Tool vocalist Maynard James Keenan) is back in 2017 for a rare tour and promotion of a pending forth studio album (the new single ‘The Doomed’ was already released in October).
As with many supergroups, it’s hard to get everyone together, so currently, the band consists of Howerdel and Keenan, but with help from Smashing Pumpkins’ James Iha, Eagles of Death Metal’s Matt McJunkins and drummer Jeff Friedl.
Show up early to check out The Beta Machine.
Please note that the band has a strict no photos policy at their shows. This is the camera policy released for the upcoming show:
Please follow these guidelines to prevent being ejected from the venue. Patrons who are ejected will not be allowed to re-enter the venue.

HIPPO CAMPUS+ The Happy Children, Trent Romens
Fine Line Music Cafe
Sat 11/25/2017 (7pm/$40/Sold Out)

Hippo Campus is incredibly popular. The last time we saw the group, they had fans lining up and waiting for the band to sign their CDs. It was pretty amazing, especially for a local band… but it should surprise anyone that they are a big deal everywhere else too!
Not really sure why the band decided to play a small Fine Line Music Café venue for their homecoming show… as they previously sold out First Avenue’s mainroom (a much bigger venue). Of course, the Fine Line is sold out.
