So jealous right now, you guys have fun for the rest of us ... have fun!!! *shakes fist*

@Apathy - Yeah I thought the same about the venues, to "call backs" to the old days in venue choices ... maybe there are mixed feelings towards the venues. Also I guess some fans would then complain they are just living in the past ... hehe ... dammed if they do, dammed if they don't.

Just great they are touring again

So you're not going to go to any of the shows Sunky?

yes you are probably right there, some would be complaining that they are living in the past.
One thing is for sure it will be a brand new adventure.

and I imagine the ghosts of the past are a bit much to shake off.
I am just happy they are touring too.

That's a good question!!

Those Chicago dates look awesome. Hopefully I'll be able to get a ticket to at least one of them. I always have the worst luck trying to see them here. Sadly I am going to be somewhere in the middle of New Hampshire when the presale starts.

As much as my wife and I want to, and as awesome as it would be ... we just can't afford it. Flights, accommodation etc from Australia would hit about $5000 or so for the both of us .. and we are looking at buying a house soon. So house deposit or Smashing Pumpkins concert?!? ... damn me being responsible and acting like an adult.

Can't give a yes or no answer about more dates or not ... because I don't know hehe. Im sure if there are more they'll be announced soon.

that is too bad Sunky because 'you two' should be there. Although totally understandable.

It still makes me smile thinking about how you two met and all, so very cool.


oh okay, Im just so excited about it all.

Hey slunkdross, did you have that directly printed to the garment, screen pressed or what? I just made a shirt and had them print directly to garment, is that what you chose?

I think they printed directly to the shirt. I looked all over the web for sites that could make me this shirt and most sites would only accept multiple shirt orders. Really, who needs 10 of the same shirt.

Anyway I put my ultimate set list on there for last year. I actually included alot of mainstream/singles, cause I knew that is what they were playing last year.

I am "crossing my fingers" for more obscure songs for the 20th anniversary shows. maybe slunk, blue, snail, ma belle, plume, hello kitty kat, dross, this time, crestfallen, geek u.s.a, 7 shades of black, to forgive, by starlight, XYU, soma. somebody stop me or every song in their catalog will be listed -

from blabbermouth.net

The five-week run will be highlighted by multi-night stops in such cities as Chicago, Toronto, New York, Washington, Boston, Kansas City and Los Angeles. With such a vast repertoire, the Pumpkins are coming prepared with completely different set lists in each of the multi-night engagements with no songs being repeated over the course of the two night run. Night #1 is being called “Black Sunshine,” while night #2 will be dubbed “White Crosses.” A special two-night ticket bundle will be available for all multi-night engagements.

In Chicago — where singer/guitarist Billy Corgan and drummer Jimmy Chamberlin continue to be based — the Pumpkins will play four shows at two different venues. In cities where the band is set to play one night, they plan to deliver a unique one-off set. …

The Pumpkins have also confirmed a national television appearance for Friday, October 24 when they’ll perform “G.L.O.W.” on the outdoor stage at ABC-TV’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”

wooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Black Sunshine, oh yeah.
