The shows were first announced in March 2025, and kicked off in North America later that year. They see the frontman join up with a 60-piece orchestra to deliver an operatic reimagining of Smashing Pumpkins’ hit 1995 album ‘Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness’.
Now, Corgan has confirmed that he will be bringing the show across the pond later this year. Two shows are planned for London’s Royal Festival Hall on September 1 and 2, and from there he will play two shows in Antwerp, two in Paris, and one in Madrid later that month.
The Smashing Pumpkins have announced a 31st anniversary deluxe reissue of ‘Mellon Collie & The Infinite Sadness’ – check out all the details below.
Billy Corgan and co. are set to revisit the era-defining record with an expanded reissue that will include singles ‘Bullet with Butterfly Wings’, ‘1979’, ‘Zero’ and ‘Tonight, Tonight’.
The Super Deluxe 6LP variant boasts over 80 minutes of unreleased audio from 1996’s ‘Infinite Sadness’ tour, and will feature a hardbound book with all-new liner notes from Corgan, a custom tarot card set, and seven frameable lithographs, all of which come in a velvet-wrapped rigid slipcase in a cloth carrying bag.
The album will also be available as a 4CD package, a 4CD SHM-CD package, and on digital formats. The Super Deluxe edition with an autographed lithograph retails for £398.00, and you can pre-order.
Other variants include the Super Deluxe box set (£274) and the Deluxe Edition 4CD set (£40), and shipping will begin on November 21.
The ambitious double album earned the band seven Grammy Award nominations in 1997, including Album of the Year and Record of the Year for ‘1979’, and is largely considered one of the greatest albums of the ‘90s.
