A few days ago, Corgan shared a setlist from 1995 that had lots of people talking.
And today, he shared a “pool of proposed songs” for the upcoming tour.
“The other day, I shared a set of ours from 1995. Which surprisingly engendered a lot of interest, and it got me thinking why not share our pool of PROPOSED songs (meaning the list we'll use to build The Shiny and Oh So Bright set, so these aren't in any particular order). And since we are a bit aways from going into rehearsals, and I'm sure we've missed a favorite or two, tag me @williampcorgan@jamesihaofficial @chamberdrums and @jjjschroeder as well as @smashingpumpkins or #smashingpumpkins and most importantly #SP2018 with a screen cap of what you'd like to hear. But remember, the goal is to build an epic set! So choose wisely.”
You heard what he said: Choose wisely.
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 today here.
