The Smashing Pumpkins Bring The Rats In A Cage Tour To Arenas This Fall!
The Smashing Pumpkins are heading out on the road this fall with The Rats In A Cage Tour, a massive North American run celebrating the 30th anniversary of their landmark double album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. The tour kicks off September 30 in Columbus at Value City Arena and rolls through more than two dozen cities including Boston, Brooklyn, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Tampa, Austin, Denver, Las Vegas, Vancouver, and a finale at the Kia Forum in Inglewood on November 12.
Each night features two distinct sets -- one devoted entirely to Mellon Collie, packed with deep cuts and fan favorites from the 1995 diamond-certified epic, and a second set that draws from nearly four decades of Pumpkins hits including 1979, Tonight Tonight, Bullet with Butterfly Wings, Cherub Rock, Today, and Zero. Check the listings below to lock in your seats before this anniversary run sells out.
Formed in Chicago in 1988, The Smashing Pumpkins helped define the alternative rock era with a sound that fused dreamy shoegaze textures, crushing metal riffs, and the unmistakable vocals of Billy Corgan. Their breakthrough Siamese Dream made them one of the biggest bands of the 1990s, and the follow-up Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness pushed them even higher -- a sprawling double album that earned a Grammy and produced classics like 1979, Tonight Tonight, and Bullet with Butterfly Wings. From the experimental Adore through Machina, Oceania, and the recent reunion-era releases Cyr and Atum, the band has spent more than three decades pushing the boundaries of rock.
