Smashing Pumpkins expand tour
The Smashing Pumpkins continue to add dates to their in-progress North American tour, which now stretches into mid-November.
Since last check, a fourth show was added in Upper Darby, PA, along with gigs in The Woodlands, TX; Austin, TX; Athens, GA; Greensboro, NC; Columbia, SC; and Miami, where the Pumpkins will co-headline the Bang Music Festival with Kanye West the weekend of Nov. 10. Meanwhile, a Sept. 26 date in Boise, ID, has been canceled.
Upcoming concerts are already sold out in markets including Boston and Atlanta, where multiple dates are booked, as well as Vancouver, Detroit, Nashville and Normal, IL, according to the Smashing Pumpkins' website.
The outing continues tonight (9/18) in Phoenix; the itinerary is listed below.
The Pumpkins wrapped their second European tour of the year before jumping into the current outing earlier this month. The fall trek is the reunited alt-rockers' first full-scale North American run since 2000.
The band is supporting July's "Zeitgeist"--its sixth album and first collection of new material since 2000's "Machina/The Machines of God." The new set reached No. 2 on The Billboard 200 and the lead cut, "Tarantula," peaked at No. 2 on the magazine's Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart.
The album's second single, "That's the Way (My Love Is)," was released last month and the Paul Brown-directed video is streaming at MySpace TV's website.
