During the band’s surprise ‘private requiem’ event for the character Zero, The Smashing Pumpkins announced their forthcoming ‘Rats In A Cage’ tour. The trek is in celebration of the 30th anniversary of their masterpiece Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness.
The tour is set to feature two different sets, one in honor of the album’s milestone and the other spanning the entirety of their almost four decade-long catalogue. The North American leg is set to kick off in the fall with the opening show taking place on September 30 at Schottenstein Center in Columbus, Ohio. The trek will conclude with their appearance at Darker Waves Festival on November 14 in Huntington Beach, California where they will perform alongside Morrissey, Gary Numan, Silversun Pickups, Bad Religion, The Damned and many more.
Back in January, the band teamed up with Yungblud for a revamped version of his iconic song “Zombie.”
