Billy Corgan has announced a new tour starting this Spring that is similar to last year’s Smashing Pumpkins acoustic-electro tour dubbed In Plainsong.
Kicking off in Portland on March 22nd, Corgan will be accompanied by Smashing Pumpkins bandmates Jimmy Chamberlin and Jeff Schroeder for the 19-city jaunt. Liz Phair will serve as the tour’s opening act.
“What started as an interest in playing a truly different kind of show and looking for a different way to explore their storied musical past morphed into something new and exciting for the fans in every city”, said the group’s manager Peter Katsis, “this touches the opposing side to The Pumpkins usual roar!”
According to a press release, The Smashing Pumpkins, will head straight to the studio after the dates to record a brand new album inspired by the sounds explored in the new acoustic setting. No word on when the release will be for that new album.
