The Smashing Pumpkins announce North American arena tour with Jane’s Addiction
The trek will take the alt-rock giants across the continent from early October through mid-November
The Smashing Pumpkins have announced an extensive arena tour of North America.
During the trek – which will criss-cross the continent from early October through mid-November – the band will be joined by another titan of '90s alt-rock, Jane's Addiction.
You can see the full itinerary for the Spirits on Fire tour – which will also feature Poppy and, on select dates, Meg Myers – below.
The Pumpkins will be promoting their most recent studio album, 2020's double-length, synth-pop-influenced Cyr.
The band are also reportedly hard at work on another project, though, a 33-song “rock opera” sequel to Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness and Machina/The Machines Of God.
“It’s kind of a rock opera," Billy Corgan said of the in-the-works album in a YouTube video in October 2020. "We feel like in many ways this completes the circle on everything we started and weren’t able to finish at that time, so we’re very excited.”
Jane's Addiction, meanwhile, last embarked on a full-scale tour in 2016, and have performed live only sporadically since. Their last studio album was 2011's The Great Escape Artist.
