Smashing Pumpkins will play two sets – one celebrating the 30th anniversary of the band’s hit album “Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness,” and a second that will feature fan-favorite songs and deep cuts from throughout the band’s 40-year history.
“Staging a Mellon Collie-themed show is something we’ve discussed for over a decade, and finally the stars have aligned and exactly on the terms I’d set: which was to build a special night around its most enduring aspirations and ideas,” frontman Billy Corgan said in a statement. “With set 1 of the Rats In A Cage tour exclusively featuring Mellon Collie songs in a highly theatrical setting, and set 2 drawing from the rest of our canon so that there’s a decent amount of variance as to what songs we’ll play from night to night: from our first in ‘Gish’ to our last in ‘Aghori Mhori Mei’.”
Tickets are available now on Ticketmaster.
