Today The Smashing Pumpkins revealed their Rock Invasion 2 Tour - a sequel to their iconic 1993 world tour. The tour will hit up nine cities, kicking off on April 23rd in Louisville, Kentucky and wrapping up May 8th in Greensboro, North Carolina.
“It's been a good while since we've played a straight up, bare knuckle rock and roll show; one that avoids little in the way of raw power. So note: this tour won't be for those faint of heart, and will certainly echo the dynamic modes in which we built our live reputation,” said Billy Corgan.
I think die-hard SP fans are in for quite the ride. Check out more info and stats in our episode of First Alert: Tour Update right here!
Since reuniting in 2018, the band is currently made up of OG members Billy Corgan, Jimmy Chamberlin, and James Iha, with Jeff Schroeder alongside bassist Jack Bates.
SP are also set to headline Beale Street Music Festival and Shaky Knees Music Festival and following the tour, they will go on to open for Guns N' Roses' 2020 Stadium Tour for select dates in July.
