It could be years before Tampa Bay sees another Tool concert, but Maynard James Keenan still wanted to go all-out to celebrate his 60th birthday.

The mastermind is 61 years old now, and in his second year of bringing his two side projects Puscifer and A Perfect Circle together—along with Les Claypool and Primus—for a three-hour, three-act set that will see everyone on the bill sporadically join forces throughout the night.

You might see Claypool join A Perfect Circle at some point in the night, or perhaps Keenan will jump in with Primus for a song. All we know for sure is that all three groups will perform at the exact same time at one point in the show. Oh, and unless you want to feel the wrath of MJK, don’t you dare whip your camera out until the end.

Tickets to see Sessanta 2.0 with Primus, Puscifer, and A Perfect Circle at Tampa’s MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre on Thursday, May 8 are still available and start at $29.50.
