Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on-sale beginning on Thursday, May 21 at 10AM local time on smashingpumpkins.com.

“Staging a Mellon Collie-themed show is something we’ve discussed for over a decade, and finally the stars have aligned and exactly on the terms I’d set: which was to build a special night around its most enduring aspirations and ideas,” Billy Corgan says in a statement. “With set 1 of ‘The Rats In A Cage’ tour exclusively featuring ‘Mellon Collie’ songs in a highly theatrical setting, and set 2 drawing from the rest of our canon so that there’s a decent amount of variance as to what songs we’ll play from night to night: from our first in ‘Gish’ to our last in ‘Aghori Mhori Mei.’”

Corgan and company will also offer VIP ticket packages that will include a special pre-show acoustic performance and Q&A with the band, VIP lounge access, memorabilia, exclusive VIP merchandise, and priority merchandise shopping. See the full list of dates below.
