Preparing to dazzle audiences once more, the two-time Grammy Award-winning iconic rock band, The Smashing Pumpkins, are set to embark on an electrifying journey with a series of new headline performances across North America in 2024, per Blabbermouth. This announcement comes amidst an already packed schedule, which includes a mix of arena shows, headline festival appearances in Europe, and North American stadium performances alongside Green Day, forming part of “The Saviors Tour.” Adding further excitement, the band has included additional solo arena bookings spanning from July to September.
The excitement kicks off on July 31 in Muskoka, Ontario, at Kee to Bala, and traverses through various markets such as Kansas City, Cedar Rapids, St. Louis, before concluding on September 27 in Las Vegas, Nevada, at Fontainebleau. Notably, they will also grace the stage at the Osheaga Festival as one of the headlining acts in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, on August 3.

Additional presales will follow throughout the week leading up to the general on-sale starting Friday, April 5, at 10 a.m. local time at smashingpumpkins.com/tour/.
Renowned for their electrifying live performances, The Smashing Pumpkins have consistently wowed audiences with their captivating stage presence and meticulously curated setlists. Their shows, likened to a cinematic experience, blend moments of heavy guitar catharsis with transcendent melodic singalongs, earning widespread critical acclaim. As NME proclaimed, “it’s indisputable that the band are responsible for many of the ’90s’ best rock songs, and this is as good as you’re going to hear them.” Meanwhile, The Patriot Ledger hailed them as “one of America’s most interesting musical groups.” Miami New Times added, “the band took the audience back in time to when alternative music was the mainstream.”
In 2023, The Smashing Pumpkins headlined and curated their own “The World Is A Vampire” tour, while 2022 saw them captivating audiences across North America on the “Spirits On Fire” tour. Last year marked the completion of their three-act trilogy “Atum,” receiving critical acclaim and spawning chart-topping hits. Currently, the band is in the studio recording their highly anticipated follow-up to “Atum,” promising new music to delight fans this year.
As the band continues to evolve and enthrall audiences worldwide, they also revealed in January that they had been flooded with thousands of applicants following the announcement of their search for a new guitarist after longtime member Jeff Schroeder’s departure.
