The Smashing Pumpkins have announced a 27-date North American tour for the fall that will see them celebrate the 30th anniversary of their 1995 album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.
“The Rats in a Cage Tour” will see the Pumpkins play a set featuring select songs from their double album opus, followed by a second set of fan favourites and hits from their entire catalogue.
The tour kicks off in Columbus, OH on September 30, and feature four Canadian dates in total: TD Coliseum in Hamilton, ON on October 7, Centre Bell in Montreal on October 9, Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary on November 3, and Rogers Arena in Vancouver on November 5.
“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,” said frontman Billy Corgan. “With set one of ‘The Rats In A Cage Tour’ exclusively featuring Mellon Collie songs in a highly theatrical setting, and set two 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.”
