The Smashing Pumpkins earlier today have spread details about their upcoming Rats in a Cage tour, celebrating three decades of the band's seminal album, Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness.
Every stop on the international tour will contain two distinct sets from the group. Frontman and lead vocalist Billy Corgan has been making decisions about the details and logistics of these shows for the past decade:
"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. 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’.”
