LOS ANGELES, Feb. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- GRAMMY®
Award-winning, acclaimed alternative rock pioneers The Smashing
Pumpkins today announced the Shiny And Oh So Bright
Tour, their first tour in nearly 20 years to feature founding
members Billy Corgan, Jimmy Chamberlin, and James Iha. Produced by Live Nation, the 36-city
tour will kick off in Glendale, AZ
on July 12, 2018 and visit North
American arenas throughout the summer. Tickets for the Shiny And Oh
So Bright Tour will go on sale to the general public starting next
Friday, February 23 at 10:00am local time and be available at
www.smashingpumpkins.com, LiveNation.com, and via the Live Nation
App.
"Some 30 years ago, as The Smashing Pumpkins, James Iha and I began a musical journey in the
cramped rear bedroom of my Father's house. And so it's magic to me
that we're able to coalesce once more around the incredible
Jimmy Chamberlin, to celebrate those
songs we've made together," shared Corgan.
The band broke news of the tour this morning with a dramatic
video featuring original Siamese Dream album cover stars
Ali Laenger and LySandra Roberts. Watch the clip HERE.

The monumental Shiny And Oh So Bright Tour, which coincides with
the 30th anniversary of the band's formation, will highlight music
from the group's inception through 2000, and will exclusively
feature material from their groundbreaking debut Gish
through Siamese Dream, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness,
Adore, and Machina. Longtime Smashing Pumpkins guitarist
Jeff Schroeder will also take part,
as the band moves to a three guitar lineup to better emulate the
signature tones and textures of their albums.
"This show and staging will be unlike any we've ever done, and
will feature a set unlike any we've ever played. For if this is a
chance at a new beginning, we plan on ushering it in with a real
bang," added Corgan.
Formed in Chicago, IL in 1988,
The Smashing Pumpkins released their heralded debut album
Gish in 1991 and found mainstream success with 1993's 4x
multi-platinum Siamese Dream and 1995's 10x multi-platinum
Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. With nine studio
albums and over 30 million albums sold to date, the GRAMMY®, MTV
VMA, and American Music Award winning band remains an influential
force in alternative rock.
The Smashing Pumpkins are represented by Velvet Hammer Music and Management Group.
