The Smashing Pumpkins announce North American arena tour with Jane's Addiction

Published by New Jersey Stage
05/11/2022

The Smashing Pumpkins have announced a North American arena tour with special guests Jane's Addiction. Produced by Live Nation, the 32-date SPIRITS ON FIRE TOUR will commence in October.

When The Smashing Pumpkins first emerged out of Chicago in 1988, the world had never heard a band quite like them. They spun together rock, pop, shoe-gaze, metal, goth, psychedelia, and electronic into a kaleidoscope of saccharine melodies, fuzzy distortion, bombastic orchestration, incendiary fretwork, eloquent songcraft, and unshakable hooks. Upon their formation, their sound was different, iconoclastic, and wholly new—and it still is today. As a result, they’ve sold over 30 million albums worldwide and collected two GRAMMY® Awards, two MTV VMAs, and an American Music Award.

The Smashing Pumpkins' catalog is highlighted by the platinum Gish [1991], the quadruple-platinum Siamese Dream [1993], diamond-certified Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness [1995], platinum Adore [1998], and gold Machina/The Machines of God [2000]. In 2018, they embarked on one of their most successful tours ever, the Shiny and Oh So Bright Tour, followed by SHINY AND OH SO BRIGHT, VOL. 1 / LP: NO PAST. NO FUTURE. NO SUN. 

2020 saw the release of the band’s eleventh full-length and latest double album, CYR. The Smashing Pumpkins have confirmed they will release more music in 2022 as they resume touring.

Jane's Addiction is an American rock band from Los Angeles, formed in 1985. The band consists of vocalist Perry Farrell, guitarist Dave Navarro, drummer Stephen Perkins and bassist Chris Chaney.  Their most popular songs include "Jane Says", "Stop!", "Been Caught Stealing", "Just Because", and "Irresistable Force".
