Nearly four decades after first reshaping alternative rock, Smashing Pumpkins are returning to the stage with The Rats In A Cage Tour, a massive North American run celebrating the band’s enduring legacy and the 30th anniversary of their landmark album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. The legendary trio will bring their one-of-a-kind live spectacle to Southern California with major stops at the Kia Forum in Inglewood on November 12 and Huntington Beach on November 14, delivering a night built on defining tracks, deep cuts, and the unmistakable darkness that made them icons.
The tour promises a unique two-set performance designed to honor the band’s extraordinary catalog. Fans can expect a special celebration of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness alongside a sweeping journey through nearly four decades of Smashing Pumpkins hits and dark treasures. It’s a rare opportunity to experience the band’s expansive live history in a format that reflects both their evolution and their raw original power.
The announcement arrives during a major year for the group, who are also set to headline this year’s Lollapalooza in Chicago alongside The xx, Lorde, and other major acts from July 30 through August 2. Frontman Billy Corgan has also been making waves beyond music with his podcast The Magnificent Others, where he has hosted unforgettable conversations with rock royalty including Tom Morello, Gene Simmons, Sharon Osbourne, Courtney Love, and Gavin Rossdale, further cementing his place as one of alternative rock’s most compelling voices.
For longtime fans and a new generation discovering their sound, The Rats In A Cage Tour marks a powerful return across North America and a celebration of one of rock’s most influential catalogs. Tickets go on sale Thursday, May 21 at 10 a.m. local time.
