Billy Corgan fronted American alt rockers The Smashing Pumpkins are back in the UK this summer and will be playing three dates this July in support of release of the latest album 'Oceania'.
Their latest album was recorded at singer/guitarist Billy Corgan's private studio in Chicago with his bandmates: guitarist Jeff Schroeder, drummer Mike Byrne and bassist/vocalist Nicole Fiorentino.
The long player is The Smashing Pumpkins' 7th studio record, and last year The Pumpkins performed it in full at their solo shows worldwide, backed by visuals prepared by Sean Evans, whose most recent work was assisting Roger Waters on the newest staging of 'The Wall'.
For their 2013 dates The Pumpkins will be using new technology in video mapping to create something new and previously unseen. For the second half of the show, The Pumpkins will perform classics from their body of work.
The Smashing Pumpkins will be coming to the following venues this summer:
Mon 01 July Manchester Academy, Manchester
Tue 02 July O2 Academy, Glasgow
Mon 22 July Wembley Arena, London
Tickets go on sale at 9am on Friday 1st February priced at £35 for Manchester and £38.50/£48.50 London, and eGigs will have links to buy them then.
