In a bill straight out of the alternative rock heyday of the early 1990s, The Smashing Pumpkins and Jane’s Addiction will team for a fall arena tour dubbed Spirits on Fire, kicking off Oct. 2 in Dallas. The Pumpkins broke the news this morning (May 11) on SiriusXM’s The Howard Stern Show and will also perform and talk about the tour tonight on CBS’ The Late Late Show With James Corden.
In addition, the Billy Corgan-led band will have their handprints immortalized in cement today outside the TCL Chinese Theater in Los Angeles, a Hollywood tradition that spans decades of show business.
Pre-sale tickets for the tour begin tomorrow, followed by a general public on-sale on Friday. Poppy and Meg Myers will open select dates. More information can be found here.
The Pumpkins are in the midst of their Rock Invasion 2 tour, which visits Santa Barbara, Calif. on Friday. The group’s most recent album was 2020’s CYR. Jane’s Addiction has only played a handful of shows since 2017 and has not released new music in nearly a decade.
