| Expanding an already stacked schedule, two-time GRAMMY® Award-winning iconic rock band The Smashing Pumpkins reveal a string of new North American headline performances in 2024. In addition to a combination of arena and headliner festival dates in Europe and North American stadium performances with Green Day, as part of The Saviors Tour, the band added additional solo arena bookings that span July through September. This new run of dates kicks off on July 31 in Muskoka, Ontario at Kee to Bala, rolls through markets such as Kansas City, Cedar Rapids, St. Louis, and concludes on September 27 in Las Vegas, NV at Fontainebleau. Plus, they will close out Osheaga Festival as one of the headlining acts in Montreal, QC on August 3. Tickets for the new dates will be available starting with an artist presale beginning Tuesday, April 2 at 10am local time. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general onsale beginning Friday, April 5 at 10am local time at https://smashingpumpkins.com/tour/. Check out the band’s full confirmed tour itinerary below. The Smashing Pumpkins continue firing on all cylinders live. During 2023, they headlined and curated their very own The World Is A Vampire Tour joined by Stone Temple Pilots and Rival Sons, while 2022 saw them canvas North America on the Spirits On Fire Tour alongside Jane’s Addiction. A spectacle of eye-catching stage production and a setlist sequenced like a film with moments of heavy guitar catharsis and transcendent melodic singalongs, their shows have consistently incited widespread critical applause. NME professed, “it’s indisputable that the band are responsible for many of the ’90s’ best rock songs, and this is as good as you’re going to hear them.” Meanwhile, The Patriot Ledger proclaimed, “[The] Smashing Pumpkins proved they are still one of America’s most interesting – sometimes befuddling, but never boring – musical groups.” Miami New Times attested, “the band took the audience back in time to when alternative music was the mainstream, and the idea of browsing on your phone during a fantastic concert was bad sci-fi satire.” Last year, The Smashing Pumpkins completed the three-act trilogy ATUM, releasing the 33-track project in its entirety. Among many highlights, it boasted “Beguiled,” which catapulted to #6 at Active Rock and #12 at Alternative Radio Charts. “Spellbinding” emerged as the #1 most-added at Alternative Rock. Plus. Rolling Stone applauded, “ATUM is clearly meant to be the kind of record that requires your full attention, and Act Three makes for a nicely trippy conclusion to the whole project, as well as an intriguing listening experience in and of itself.” In a “4-out-of-5 star” review, NME raved, “This sci-fi-inspired epic is ambitious and complex.” The Smashing Pumpkins are currently in the studio recording the follow up to ATUM as they prepare to release new music this year. Recently, National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) and President Billy Corgan proudly announced an exclusive streaming deal for NWA with The CW. Under this newly minted all-encompassing partnership, multiple NWA programs will be streaming and on-demand via The CW platform and portal in the United States. Democratizing access to action-packed wrestling from some of the sport’s biggest, boldest, and brightest personalities, all programming is notably available free of charge and without a subscription via The CW app. It represents a monumental power move for NWA. The partnership not only amplifies the brand’s presence throughout popular culture and the zeitgeist, but it also sets a precedent for wrestling, at large. 2024 EUROPEAN TOUR DATES:^ w/ Weezer^^ w/ Interpol*TBA** w/ Tom Morello 6/7 – Birmingham, UK – Utilita Arena^6/8 – London, UK – The O2^6/10 – Dublin, Ireland – 3Arena^6/12 – Glasgow, Scotland – Hydro^6/13 – Manchester, UK – Co-Op Live^6/14 – Cardiff, UK – Cardiff Castle^6/16 – Paris, France – Accor Arena**6/19 – Moenschenglabach, Germany – Sparkassenpark (outdoor)^^6/21 – Hannover, Germany – ZAG Arena^^6/22 – Berlin, Germany – Wuhlheide^^6/24 – Vienna, Austria – Stadthalle^^6/26 – Zagreb, Croatia – Inmusic Festival6/28 – Luxembourg – Luxexpo^^6/29 – Rotterdam, Netherlands – Ahoy^^6/30 – Antwerp, Belgium – Live is Live7/2 – Gilwice, Poland – PreZero Arena Gilwice^^7/4 – Prague, Czech Republic – 02 Universum*7/6 – Lucca, Italy – Lucca Festival**7/10 – Madrid, Spain – Mad Cool7/11 – Lisbon, Portugal – Nos Alive7/13 – Barcelona, Spain – Cruilla Festival 7/16 – Athens, Greece – OAKA Indoor Arena** 2024 NORTH AMERICAN TOUR DATES:*The Saviors Tour with Green DayNewly announced dates in BOLD 7/29 – Washington, DC – Nationals Park*7/31 – Muskoka, ON – Kee to Bala8/1 – Toronto, ON – Rogers Centre*8/3 – Montreal, Quebec – Osheaga Festival8/4 – Bangor, ME – Maine Savings Bank Amphitheatre8/5 – New York, NY – Citi Field*8/7 – Boston, MA – Fenway Park*8/9 – Philadelphia, PA – Citizens Bank Park*8/10 – Hershey, PA – HersheyPark Stadium*8/13 – Chicago, IL – Wrigley Field*8/14 – Kansas City, MO – Starlight Theatre8/16 – Springfield, IL – Illinois State Fair8/17 – Minneapolis, MN – Target Field*8/20 – Des Moines, IA – Vibrant Music Hall8/21 – St. Louis, MO – Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre8/22 – Cincinnati, OH – Great American Ballpark*8/24 – Milwaukee, WI – American Family Field*8/27 – Simpsonville, SC – CCNB Amphitheatre at Heritage Park8/28 – Atlanta, GA – Truist Park*8/30 – Nashville, TN – Geodis Park*9/1 – Pittsburgh, PA – PNC Park*9/4 – Detroit, MI – Comerica Park*9/7 – Denver, CO – Coors Field*9/10 – Southaven, MS – BankPlus Amphitheatre at Snowden Grove9/11 – Arlington, TX – Globe Life Field*9/14 – Los Angeles, CA – SoFi Stadium*918 – Phoenix, AZ – Chase Field*9/20 – San Francisco, CA – Oracle Park*9/21 – Reno, NV – Grand Sierra Resort9/23 – Seattle, WA – T-Mobile Park*9/24 – Airway Heights, WA – BECU Live at Northern Quest9/25 – Portland, OR – Providence Park*9/27 – Las Vegas, NV – BleauLive Theater inside Fontainebleau Las Vegas at Fontainebleau9/28 – San Diego, CA – Petco Park* About The Smashing PumpkinsThe Smashing Pumpkins are one of the most iconic, iconoclastic, and influential bands of all time, shaping alternative music and culture. Since forming in Chicago during 1988, the group have sold over 30 million albums worldwide and garnered two GRAMMY® Awards, two MTV VMAs, and an American Music Award. Their catalog includes seminal offerings such as the platinum Gish [1991], the quadruple-platinum Siamese Dream [1993], the diamond-certified Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness [1995], the platinum Adore [1998], and the gold Machina/The Machines of God [2000]. Rolling Stone cited both Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness among its “500 Greatest Albums of All Time.” It would also be impossible to envision alternative music and culture without their signature iconography such as the idyllic album artwork for Siamese Dream, the black Zero shirt, the laissez faire bliss of the “1979” music video, the gothic metamorphosis of “Ava Adore,” or the multi-dimensional live shows that sell out worldwide to this day. 2018 saw The Smashing Pumpkins unveil the SHINY AND OH SO BRIGHT, VOL. 1 / LP: NO PAST. NO FUTURE. NO SUN. and launch the immensely successful Shiny and Oh So Bright Tour, which packed arenas. Maintaining this momentum, the band released their eleventh full-length double album CYR [2020], representing yet another evolution, and more recently, ATUM [2023], the sequel to 1995’s Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness and 2000’s Machina/Machine of God. As prolific as ever, The Smashing Pumpkins are currently working on new music. More details to come.
