Smashing Pumpkins Announce 'Mellon Collie' 30th Anniversary Tour With 2 Sets

The Smashing Pumpkins have announced a fall tour celebrating the 30th anniversary of their 1995 double LP Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.

Dubbed the Rats in a Cage Tour, the trek will see Billy Corgan and company performing the landmark album in full. A promo video announcing the tour (which you can watch below) promises “two unique sets” — one celebrating Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, while the other delivers selections “from nearly four decades of unruly hits and dark treasures.”

The 27-date tour begins Sept. 30 in Columbus, Ohio, before winding its way across North America. Smashing Pumpkins will hit most major metropolitan areas along the way, including Boston, New York, Chicago, Denver, Las Vegas and Seattle, before coming to a close Nov. 12 at the Forum in Los Angeles.
