The tour, which coincides with the 30th anniversary of the band's formation, will highlight music from the group's inception through 2000. It'll exclusively feature material from their groundbreaking debut Gish through Siamese Dream, Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness, Adore and Machina.
“Some 30 years ago, as the Smashing Pumpkins, James Iha and I began a musical journey in the cramped rear bedroom of my Father's house. And so it's magic to me that we're able to coalesce once more around the incredible Jimmy Chamberlin, to celebrate those songs we've made together,” shared Corgan.
The 36-city tour will kick off in Glendale, Arizona, July 12, and tickets go on sale to the general public starting next Friday, Feb. 23 at 10 a.m. local time here.
