The Smashing Pumpkins Reveal Rats in a Cage Tour

By aimee yang

The Smashing Pumpkins will go on a big concert tour called the Rats in a Cage Tour. This tour will include “two unique sets” for each show. The band will celebrate the 30th anniversary of their famous album, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, along with other popular songs. Fans can find the complete list of tour dates below.

In 2024, the band released a new album called Aghori Mhori Mei. This was their first album since guitarist Jeff Schroeder left the group. Instead of picking a new guitarist from friends or session musicians, they invited people to apply for the role. As a result, guitarist Kiki Wong joined the band.

The tour starts on September 30, 2024, in Columbus, Ohio. The band will perform in many cities, including Boston, Baltimore, and Chicago. The last show is planned for November 14 in Huntington Beach, California. Tickets for the concerts are available for fans who want to attend the shows.
