As expected, the Smashing Pumpkins will celebrate their 20th anniversary with a fall tour featuring unique set lists. The trek begins Nov. 1 in Cleveland and wraps Dec. 2-3 in Los Angeles.
During multiple-night engagements, for which special ticket bundles will be available, the band promises to not repeat any song on the set lists. The first night of such runs is being dubbed "Black Sunshine," while the second is called "White Crosses."
In the band's Chicago hometown, the Pumpkins will play two nights each at the Chicago Theatre and Auditorium Theatre. Right before the tour, the band will play Neil Young's annual Bridge School Benefit outside San Francisco for the first time since 1999.
As previously reported, the Pumpkins have a new song, "G.L.O.W.," in the upcoming video game "Guitar Hero: World Tour," and are the subject of the documentary "It All Goes Wrong," due Nov. 11.
Here are the Smashing Pumpkins' tour dates:
Nov. 1: Cleveland (Palace Theatre) Nov. 3-4: Toronto (Massey Hall) Nov. 6-7: New York (United Palace Theatre) Nov. 8: Atlantic City, N.J. (Borgata) Nov. 11-12: Washington, D.C.
