The event included a symbolic funeral for Billy Corgan\u2019s \u201cZero\u201d persona followed by a live performance where the band played \u201cHere Is No Why\u201d for the first time since 1997.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" translation-block\">According to Billy Corgan, the concept behind the tour had been discussed internally for more than a decade. The project ultimately came together around a very specific idea: building a live experience completely centered on the conceptual and emotional universe of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" translation-block\">The show will be divided into two distinct sections. The first portion of each night will focus exclusively on Mellon Collie material presented in what the band describes as a highly theatrical and conceptual setting. Afterwards, the band will perform a second set spanning nearly their entire catalog, from 1991\u2019s Gish through 2024\u2019s Aghori Mhori Mei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" translation-block\">Originally released in 1995, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness remains one of the defining albums of 1990s alternative rock. The double album featured songs including \u201c1979,\u201d \u201cTonight, Tonight,\u201d \u201cBullet With Butterfly Wings\u201d and \u201cZero,\u201d firmly establishing Smashing Pumpkins as one of the most influential bands of the decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tour officially begins September 30 in Columbus, Ohio and will travel across multiple cities in the United States and Canada before concluding November 12 at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles. Afterwards, the band will appear at the Darker Waves festival on November 14 in Huntington Beach, California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tickets for all dates officially go on sale May 21 at 10:00 a.m. local time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>THE SMASHING PUMPKINS \u2013 The Rats in a Cage Tour 2026<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>31 Jul \u2014 Chicago, IL \u2014 Lollapalooza Chicago<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>30 Sep \u2014 Columbus, OH \u2014 Schottenstein Center<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>02 Oct \u2014 Boston, MA \u2014 TD Garden<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>03 Oct \u2014 Baltimore, MD \u2014 CFG Bank Arena<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>04 Oct \u2014 Brooklyn, NY \u2014 Barclays Center<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>06 Oct \u2014 Pittsburgh, PA \u2014 PPG Paints Arena<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>07 Oct \u2014 Hamilton, ON \u2014 TD Coliseum<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>09 Oct \u2014 Montreal, QC \u2014 Bell Centre<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>11 Oct \u2014 Madison, WI \u2014 Kohl Center<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>13 Oct \u2014 Saint Paul, MN \u2014 Grand Casino Arena<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>14 Oct \u2014 Chicago, IL \u2014 United Center<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>16 Oct \u2014 Charlotte, NC \u2014 Spectrum Center<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>17 Oct \u2014 Jacksonville, FL \u2014 VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>18 Oct \u2014 Tampa, FL \u2014 Benchmark International Arena<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>20 Oct \u2014 Indianapolis, IN \u2014 Gainbridge Fieldhouse<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>22 Oct \u2014 Nashville, TN \u2014 The Truth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>24 Oct \u2014 Oklahoma City, OK \u2014 Paycom Center<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>25 Oct \u2014 Austin, TX \u2014 Moody Center<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>27 Oct \u2014 Denver, CO \u2014 Ball Arena<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>29 Oct \u2014 Salt Lake City, UT \u2014 Delta Center<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>30 Oct \u2014 Las Vegas, NV \u2014 MGM Grand Garden Arena<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>01 Nov \u2014 Portland, OR \u2014 Moda Center<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>03 Nov \u2014 Calgary, AB \u2014 Scotiabank Saddledome<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>05 Nov \u2014 Vancouver, BC \u2014 Rogers Arena<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>06 Nov \u2014 Seattle, WA \u2014 Climate Pledge Arena<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>08 Nov \u2014 San Jose, CA \u2014 SAP Center<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>11 Nov \u2014 Phoenix, AZ \u2014 Mortgage Matchup Center<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>12 Nov \u2014 Los Angeles, CA \u2014 Kia Forum<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>14 Nov \u2014 Huntington Beach, CA \u2014 Darker Waves Festival<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Smashing Pumpkins anunci\u00f3 oficialmente la gira \u201cThe Rats in a Cage\u201d, un extenso recorrido por Norteam\u00e9rica programado para oto\u00f1o de 2026 que celebrar\u00e1 el 30 aniversario de su hist\u00f3rico \u00e1lbum Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.
