The Smashing Pumpkins have announced a North American tour celebrating the 30th anniversary of their double album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.
Each night of “The Rats in a Cage Tour” promises a special set of Mellon Collie songs along with a second set drawing from the band’s nearly four-decade catalog of hits and deep cuts.
The 27-date arena tour opens on September 30th at Columbus’ Schottenstein Center, with additional dates scheduled at Boston’s TD Garden, Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, Pittsburgh’s PPG Paints Arena, Montréal’s Centre Bell, a hometown stop at Chicago’s United Center, Austin’s Moody Center, Denver’s Ball Arena, Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena, Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena, and Inglewood’s Kia Forum.

“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,” Billy Corgan said in a statement. “With set 1 of the ‘Rats In A Cage’ tour exclusively featuring Mellon Collie songs in a highly theatrical setting, and set 2 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’.”
