The Smashing Pumpkins produced one of the best two-album runs in rock history when they delivered Siamese Dream in 1993 and followed that with Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness in 1995. While it hasn't been exactly 30 years since the latter was delivered, the band is touring behind it 31 years later.
The tour will be called The Rats in a Cage Tour, and will kick off on September 30 in Columbus, Ohio. Billy Corgan's band also has a scheduled performance at Lollapalooza in their hometown of Chicago on July 31.
Tickets for the newly announced tour start as Citi cardmember and Verizon Access pre-sales on Tuesday, May 19, at 10 am local time. A Live Nation pre-sale begins on Wednesday, May 20, at 10 am local time. General public tickets will be made available on Thursday, May 21, at 10 am local time. For more information, one can visit the Smashing Pumpkins' official website.
