GRAMMY® Award-winning,
acclaimed alternative rock pioneers, The Smashing Pumpkins today announced
additional dates on their upcoming Shiny And Oh So Bright Tour. The band will
perform in London, Ontario
on August 9th, Calgary, Alberta
on September 8, and Edmonton,
Alberta on September 9. Tickets
for the shows will go on sale to the general public starting this Monday, May
14th at 10:00am local time and be available at www.smashingpumpkins.com, LiveNation.com,
and via the Live Nation App.
The Smashing Pumpkins today also announced indie rock band
Metric will support them on the tour. A complete list of upcoming Shiny And Oh
So Bright Tour dates can be found below. Tickets for the tour's previously
announced dates are on sale now.
Produced by Live Nation, the Shiny And Oh So Bright Tour is
The Smashing Pumpkins' first tour in
nearly 20 years to feature founding members Billy Corgan, Jimmy Chamberlin, and
James Iha. Produced by Live Nation, the 39-city tour will kick off in Glendale, AZ
on July 12, 2018 and visit North American arenas throughout the summer.
The monumental 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.
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.
In 2009, Metric self-released their 4th studio album
Fantasies, which sold over 500,000 albums and millions of singles worldwide.
Fantasies was followed by the band's 5th studio album Synthetica (2012), and
more recently Pagans in Vegas (2015). The band has completed their next album,
which is expected out in 2018. Metric became the first band in history to have
a Top 20 hit at US
commercial radio without the backing of a label. Metric also collaborated with
legendary composer Howard
Shore on writing the
official theme song and score music for the Twilight saga's blockbuster film
Eclipse, which was nominated for both Grammy and Oscar awards.
