Smashing Pumpkins Announce Reunion Tour With Setlist Culled Exclusively From First Five Albums
Three-quarters of the Smashing Pumpkins’ classic line-up will reunite for a North American tour this coming summer. The trek marks Billy Corgan, guitarist James Iha and drummer Jimmy Chamberlin’s first tour together since 2000, though the band’s original bassist D’Arcy Wretzky will not be joining the trio.
Dubbed The Shiny and Oh So Bright tour, the band’s lengthy US trek starts on 12 July at the Gila River Arena in Glendale, Arizona and wraps September 7th at the Ford Idaho Center in Boise, Idaho. Tickets go on sale February on 23 February at 10am local time with complete information available on the Smashing Pumpkins’ website.
The tour notably coincides with the 30th anniversary of the Smashing Pumpkins’ formation. During the tour, the band will exclusively play songs off their first five albums: 1991’s Gish, 1993’s Siamese Dream, 1995’s Mellon Collie And the Infinite Sadness, 1998’s Adore and 2000’s Machina.
“This show and staging will be unlike any we’ve ever done, and will feature a set unlike any we’ve ever played,” Corgan said. “For if this is a chance at a new beginning, we plan on ushering it in with a real bang.”
