As previously reported, The Smashing Pumpkins will be heading out on the road in the United States for a few weeks this August.

The last tour of the U.S. by the band consisted of mostly larger venues. This tour will prominently be booked in smaller venues across the country. Cities that they have not played since reforming will be on the route. Smaller venues means less tickets, and tickets will most likely go very quickly. Keep your eyes peeled!

Dates and cities are still forthcoming but will be revealed ANY MINUTE.

***Correction: These shows should not be considered part of the 20th anniversary shows that will be occurring later this year.

Any minute??!! OMG REFRESH F5 F5 F5!!!111ONE

sheeeeiiit. monte done gone and beeeeeaat me to it.

there's a myspace thingy too.

THIS IS SERIOUS.

LEt's use this thread instead. Keep it ontopic.

I hope the tickets are easily obtainable to the fans. Higher prices might help, as we have already said many times, but I still trust the band in using the SP page to give priority to us.

Just saw the myspace bulletin and now this thread. C'mon b0lly, I have a damn flight at 3:40 this afternoon! Hurry up and sell me some tickets!

yeah, i'm a little worried about how difficult it'll be to get tickets. Though I've spent too much money on guitars this year to afford airfare anywhere, so unless they play within a reasonable driving distance to me, I won't be able to go anyway :(

yeah, i'm a little worried about how difficult it'll be to get tickets.

i don't think getting ticket to a show or two will be that hard at what i am expecting to be $100+ ticket prices :erm:

but if they are for 3 hr shows it be pretty worth it imo

the residency tickets sold pretty fast in SF @ $25

i wonder what SP considers "small"

4000? 1200? (Fillmore) 962? (Orange Peel)

well, i guess we'll find out pretty soon just how fast they sell out. I'd gladly pay $100+ as long as I can get to the show. I somehow doubt that'll happen though; are these the shows that are supposed to be in L.A., Chicago, and N.Y.? or is that the era shows?

waitwaitwait.

$100? seriously? you really think tickets are going to be that much?

ya, didn't you notice how expensive the tickets were in the late 2007 / 2008 tour. $50 - $65 +

uhm... i actually didn't pay for it. so, no.

ANY MINUTE???

I'm calling bs. Wouldnt they just wait a few minutes and release all the info at once?

Well, of course it was more money, but wasn't that for arenas though?

they have corrected the story now with the following addition.

***Correction: These shows should not be considered part of the 20th anniversary shows that will be occurring later this year.

what do you think the vegas odds are of details coming out this weekend?

fixed the 1st post.. so this will be the "era" tour in Aug

fixed the 1st post.. so this will be the "era" tour in Aug


I dont think its the era shows at all. I think they are just visiting the cities they missed through the first tour so I guess it could be considered part of the Zeigeist tour perhaps.

why would they visit cities they missed and just do them in "small" clubs?

a small club show isn't what i would consider a "proper" show. Because it would exclude a lot of casual fans.

good. fuck casual fans.

i think thats the idea

thank god these are in august, hopefully they announce it soon enough that i can request the days off. a certain somebody and i are gonna be able to go then! soo excited hopefully i can get tickets. chicago party at a certain someone's and cigarski's new crib

you don't have to call me "certain someone" cigarski.

um dude eulogy checks the sp board i was trying to be incognito.

i was looking @ the metro website, and although it might seem like a likely place to play for a city they have yet to visit i wonder if they play there

http://metrochicago.com/shows/

right now the metro has the following Friday nights available, Aug 22nd & 29th open.

ANY MINUTE does not mean an hour will pass. Don't they understand literalism?

um dude eulogy checks the sp board i was trying to be incognito.



oh crap, he does!






okay, being serious if they play the aragon, i'm gonna be pissed.

metro! metro! metro!

ANY MINUTE does not mean an hour will pass. Don't they understand literalism?

Seriously. If it isn't announced by noon then it was pretty much a waste of everyone's time.

if they play the aragon, i'm gonna be pissed.
metro! metro! metro!

a 4500 capacity doesn't sound small to me. that is larger than some of the shows I went to after the residency

Seriously. If it isn't announced by noon then it was pretty much a waste of everyone's time.

I'm glad you're in agreement, albeit sarcastically.

a 4500 capacity doesn't sound small to me. that is larger than some of the shows I went to after the residency

what? do you want them to play the beat kitchen?

i'm just trying to be realistic here.

a 4500 capacity doesn't sound small to me. that is larger than some of the shows I went to after the residency

but its still a club setting if i remember correctly.


small club however would mean the vic or the riverea. my friend said some new venue just opened and he really enjoyed it. i don't remember its name or the show he saw.


and hopefully not the aragon

a 4500 capacity doesn't sound small to me. that is larger than some of the shows I went to after the residency

Thank you for reminding us again that you were there.

I'm glad you're in agreement, albeit sarcastically.

Nope, I was being serious. What's the point of posting something just say "something else is coming any minute now!"

figure of speech.

but its still a club setting if i remember correctly.


small club however would mean the vic or the riverea.


yes.


no.

wait; monte was at a residency show? wut?

Nope, I was being serious. What's the point of posting something just say "something else is coming any minute now!"

To mess with your fans. Remember that Metro DVD b0lly's been teasing us with? Yeah, when's that coming out?

$100 tickets to a pumpkins show? I would be very surprised, especially with the shows being at smaller venues. I saw the cure at the garden on June 20th and I got good seats for $80 and that was sold out for months.

PumpkinsMediaMilitia to Monte
no the august tour is not the gish shows either. If you recall, those will be in 2009 most likely to coincide with the gish boxset release.

interesting

interesting

thats not interesting. we knew that. didnt you know that? special shows in fall prior to the gish tour.

http://www.smashingpumpkins.com/news_4010

its release is expected to coincide with the Gish tour sometime in 2008...


In the interview with billy he said "next year" when i asked about the era.. but then that news came out just 2 weeks ago

so what the fuck is this "tour"? an altogether OTHER tour? crazy man, crazy.

an altogether OTHER tour? crazy man, crazy.

LOL i have been wondering that too.. Like what could you expect from this tour? More Zeitgeist tour? With a few random songs added to the mix (maybe XYU & Geek USA)

http://www.splra.org/wiki/index.php?title=Tsp2007-11-09

i feel like a giant nerd for posting in and closely following these threads.

maybe it will be a non-singles tour for the hardcore fans.

This is the Superchrist tour. They will be playing Superchrist for 20 minutes and then leaving the venue.

This is the Superchrist tour. They will be playing Superchrist for 20 minutes and then leaving the venue.

Superchrist / Gossamer tour! 1 hour show :)

followed with Porcelina, For Martha, Glass and the Ghost Children.

tom, revel in your nerdiness. i know i do.

damn, it would be awesome to have some shows full of non-singles. I don't see it happening, but I'd love it nonetheless. I'm pretty interested in finding out what this little tour is all about.

yeah, i'm a little worried about how difficult it'll be to get tickets. Though I've spent too much money on guitars this year to afford airfare anywhere, so unless they play within a reasonable driving distance to me, I won't be able to go anyway :(

i dont live that far from you. lets carpool

and wtf does this thread have to do with sp?

given that it's going to be a small venue (and Billy has mentioned playing for the hardcore fans before), I would suspect more rarities and without a doubt, new material.

We're supposed to get a new single this fall, so I wouldn't be surprised if they wanted to road test some new material.


When is the residency DVD supposed to be out?

Uh, they are playing a few extra shows ... I imagine they'll be identical to the bullshit shows they toured earlier this year/late 2007.

how many hardcore fans are there in any given area though?

i agree, I wouldn't be surprised if they wanted to road test some new material as well.

And no one has a date yet (as far as i know)

how many hardcore fans are there in any given area though?


enough to fill a small venue

enough to fill a small venue

this then again brings up the question, what capacity would be consider small?

<2000

i really don't think tickets will go on sale any time soon and they probably won't announce the dates until next week.

if they are looking for "hardcore" fans maybe a quick ticket sale would be a good way to do it..

or would it just end up being consider "luck"

i really don't think tickets will go on sale any time soon and they probably won't announce the dates until next week.

this.

i really don't think tickets will go on sale any time soon and they probably won't announce the dates until next week.

agreed. The writers for smashingpumpkins.com arent exactly scholars. "Any minute" could mean anything in their minds.

then again the "witters" seem not to post news.

a minute in our time is like a century to god i mean the smashing pumpkins

spring, you are fuckin' cracking me up lately.

if they don't repeat any larger cities they have already done, that leaves with what other places than these

NYC
Orlando
Miami
San Antonio
Albuquerque
Sacremento
Boise
St Louis
Chicago

Yes, Orlando!

Cincy
Cleveland
Louisville

Nothing lives up to the rock 'n' roll image like Boise, ID. And fuck Sacramento, northern California had their moment.

northern California had their moment.

Sacramento is just a few miles less distance than Normal to Chicago..

you could say Cincinnati, OH doesn't deserve a show b/c it was 100 miles away from Columbus with that kind of logic

any minute my ass

ANY MINUTE NOW.

see you butts in chicago!

Ottawa
Kansas City
Birmingham
Buffalo/Syracuse/Rochester/Albany
Milwaukee
Tampa
Oklahoma City

Peru, IN

^^ that would actually be pretty close to me. Probably closer than Chicago or St Louis

Sacramento is just a few miles less distance than Normal to Chicago..


Normal shouldn't have had a show either. People in Sacramento had 13 chances to see them.

Peru, IN

Everyone knows Kokomo is where the big money hustlaz are. :smoke:

i used to live in kokomo.

Everyone knows Kokomo is where the big money hustlaz are. :smoke:


that's where i want to go

I'm sensing a show at the House of Blues in Cleveland.

Edmonton, Alberta. C'mon!!!

i used to live in kokomo.

I dated a girl that lived in Galveston in college.

i dont live that far from you. lets carpool

that would be pretty fun!

that would be pretty fun!

He's a depraved individual. Don't do it skipgo!

ANY MINUTE!

well he IS depraved. i'll give you that.

well andrew knows me better than anyone on the board, so there probably is some truth there

:(

I guess they probably won't come back to ATX =/ I would prolly fork out 100 bucks for a small(er) venue show eg La Zona Rosa

I guess they probably won't come back to ATX =/ I would prolly fork out 100 bucks for a small(er) venue show eg La Zona Rosa

la zona rosa would be sweet.

ANY MINUTE NOW.

They really meant any day now. So you can go outside and play.

Anyway - about that gish box set - I was thinking they will prolly just release stuff like The Moon Tape and The Smashing Pumpkins maybe something like Reel Time Sessions - but I think it's mostly going to be stuff that everyone already has. I honestly think that I like pre-gish stuff better than anything post mellon collie... should be a fun tour.

Why is everyone expecting the tickets to go on sale, too? They just said the dates will be revealed...and haven't even kept to their word on that.

I hope we get some kind of heads up on when the tickets go on sale...

haven't kept their word? they just announced it today for pete's sake. :)

haven't kept their word? they just announced it today for pete's sake.

I mean, I understand allowing some time to announce the upcoming tour. A lot of people will take notice and get money/time together, but to preface the whole thing by saying ANY MINUTE and keeping silent is typical.

ANY FUCKIN MINUTE!!! HOLLLLLY SHIT!!!!!!!11uno

uno

subtle, but good

the only thing i don't believe will happen is gish box set.

SP.com previously posted that the 20th anniversary shows would be late August and September. Are they still on for September??

Also, Billy has specifically mentioned Chicago, NYC, and LA, but up until now I've assumed those were the anniversary shows. Why would they wait over a year to play Chicago, then do a "regular show" there in August, only to return in September for the anniversary show? It's anti-climactic. So, perhaps no Chicago in August.

GIVE US THE DATES -- ANY MINUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Some people need to book flights and get time off work Mr. Media Militia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

news about nothing and now a thread about nothing.

i'm seeing a pattern here.

I hope they play Philadelphia again but from that it doesn't sound like it.

haven't kept their word? they just announced it today for pete's sake. :)

I was referring to the "ANY MINUTE NOW" comment they had...which was just a hype generator I suppose. :)

news about nothing and now a thread about nothing.

You're just seeing the pattern now?

here's hoping that the club tour is akin to the arising tour; trying out new songs live to see what makes the cut for the new album, leading up to the single release. i don't really expect to see any dates announced for another week or two...or three

I heard you can bring some canned food in exchange for unsold Zeitgeist picture books.

I'm guessing people are going to go hungry.

that can be very true. i recall when the resume the pose tour happen it was on sale @ the venue only 2 days before the show took place. 650 tickets sold limited 2 per person

I am sure most of those fans were hardcore followers

I think they meant to say the tour will be cancelled any minute

Tickets just went on sale on the Gerard Drout site.

whats that?

Fuck ticketmaster

yawn.. this any minute thing is driving me crazy. checking pollstar, ticketmaster, the metro website, along with other places to see if any venues around have announced anything.

*still fears resume the pose tour type sales*

Just to be clear... the people who said they got secret presale tickets are bullshitting...right? Right?

yeah there was no presale, it was actually the regular sale. the postsale has also sold out now.

I'd love to have a serious response for once... to me, this actually isn't a joking matter because I want the opportunity to know what's going on about this tour. I don't want to miss going to one of these shows because I get the wrong information... If you know something, spew it. If you don't know anything, either speculate or shut the fuck up. Don't make stuff up because you think it's funny... This place could be a much better place to get information without all the pretentiousness.

How is everyone getting tickets?

here is the scoop.

There are pre-sale tickets but you need to have a password to access the page to get them. The maximum number of tickets you can purchase is two and you can only use the password once so, there is no sharing. To obtain a password for pre-sale tickets click on the official bands website, log on and enter the skill testing question. Once you have e-mailed in your answer you will be given a password in your e-mail for pre-sale tickets.

Where's the skill testing question at?

Where's the skill testing question at?

i assumed that to be bullshit, but i still checked, i couldnt find anything either. if this isnt bullshit, which it probably is, where am i meant to be looking after logging in?

EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT GETTING TICKETS THIS ISN"T A JOKING MATTER

bullet1979 you can wait in line with me if you want. and meet me after the show. ill take pics for you with my camera phone.

i meant the un-official sp site not the official... sorry for the confusion.

what un-offical sp site are you talking about?

people if i am not saying anything, it has yet to happen.. don't be so gullible.

so you have to say something for it to happen?
what are you waiting for?!?!

MONTE HAS SPOKEN!

Quick, someone interview him and upload it in 3 different formats to an internet messageboard.

You know what? You guys can disrespect Monte all you want but I find it somewhat ironic because it seems he's the only one that tries to be respectful to other people and doesn't make up a bunch of bullshit to have fun with other people not in your elite little "in-crowd."

I love how you can poke fun at me and imply that I'm a loser for saying things when you're hovering on a board on the 4th of July just like the rest of us...

I only hope all of you ass hats don't finally push Monte over the edge and chase him away from the boards because as far as I'm concerned his posts are the only ones I can trust at this point!

people if i am not saying anything, it has yet to happen.. don't be so gullible.
this post would be as hysterical as all the others if he wasn't being 100% serious.

I don't know how recent this is, but the header graphic on the official Pumpkins site has changed. I don't remember it being like this yesterday. The words "Smashing Pumpkins" are sinking into the ocean, and so is the statue. But faintly in the black water behind the sunken statue, you can see "The Smashing Pumpkins". What gives? Is this related to the new Gish tour and Gish box set announcement? The "THE" is back!? Gish had just "Smashing Pumpkins" on the cover, so maybe this is the beginning of an entirely new mystery.

there is nothing disrespectful about fun, Bullet1979. if anything, we Netphorians are guilty of making the questionable assumption that people will be sharp enough to know bullshit when they see it. no inside knowledge should be required.

if i thought monte had a sense of humor, i'd say bullet1979 was his troll account. But i know that dude is totally humorless, so i guess this bullet guy is for real. "in crowd", lol.

but for the record, everyone is being full of shit bullet1979. you should just put everyone on the board besides monte on ignore, and you'll probably find out all the news you need to know around here.

this thread is an hero

I was listening to the radio today and the DJ said that the only way to get tickets is to buy copies of Zeitgeist or American Gothic and some contain golden tickets. Then you have to send the band a telegram with your name and number, and Billy calls and asks you a few questions to determine if you are enough of a true fan to be allowed into the shows. Then he reviews your answers with Jimmy and then they deliver your tickets to you personally during their hot air balloon trip around the world. Well, if they approve of you anyway. It may take a while though on account of the hot air balloon and all, but it will totally be worth it. Sort of like that Metro DVD was to those people who received a copy when they were put in some mail orders for Cubs or Cheap Trick merchandise. Those lucky sons of bitches.

i can't wait to get my golden ticket!!!!!

Well I just thought it was interesting because there is a distinction being drawn between "Smashing Pumpkins" and "The Smashing Pumpkins" just by virtue of both of them appearing in the same graphic together.

I'm sorry, did i see monte acting as though he was corgans personal mouthpiece in this thread? i must be mistaken..

and if i'm not mistaken, this just serves as more evidence to why monte is a netphorian to cherish and appreciate. He's a goldmine, i tell ya!

luv ya monte!!!

"The Smashing Pumpkins" sank, the Statue of Liberty is sinking, the "Beta Version" is falling into the ocean, and "Smashing Pumpkins" is floating. So they're back to Gish, and anything else that you can take from that is probably reading too much into it.

Haha, not bad though ^

there is nothing disrespectful about fun, Bullet1979. if anything, we Netphorians are guilty of making the questionable assumption that people will be sharp enough to know bullshit when they see it. no inside knowledge should be required.

I can respect what you're saying, to a point. I do have to disclaim it a little, though, by pointing out there is a difference between having fun and being a dick (not saying that you were being one, just saying there is a line).... Kinda like that whole "you can't say whatever you want just because you say 'with all do respect.'"

But yeah, I apologize for acting somewhat hypersensitive about the whole thing. The truth is I just spent around $900 for a new hi-def video camera that I purchased with two things in mind: footage of my upcoming cruise, and recording whichever Gish show I could go to. Hopefully you can see how frustrated I was when I considered there could be a hair of truth to anything that was being said.

I can usually sniff out bullshit pretty easily on this forum, but it's when you bastards start supporting each-other's claims that it gets foggy. Ok... I won't go on about this anymore - promise.

you need to work on lighting

self obsessed



not defending monte here, but to be fair you've posted your fair share of pictures displaying your ugly face on this board.

well, reading this was a waste of time.

monte is to netphoria as george bush is to america. annoying, infuriating, and a big dose of comedy gold.

Yeah and some do it a helluva lot more than others, don't they?

If you actually had paid any attention to other peoples pics and not just your own you'd find that i've posted about 2 photos in that thread.

sorry dude it is only 500 pages long, sorry if I didn't pay attention :rofl:

this has been the longest minute of my life

What's the opposite of a New York minute?

the amount of time you can believe a sp.com news story

It's like counting down to New Years...but New Years never comes :(

be honest...

were you crying?

if i don't get tickets to a nyc show im going to break in, fly down from the rafters, and dropkick every single ticketholder in their face.

i wonder what SP considers "small"

4000? 1200? (Fillmore) 962? (Orange Peel)

- "but i want it to be small venues."
- "how small is that, billy?"
- "oh, i don't know, a capacity of about 962 would be ok."

BREAKING FROM PMM:

As suspected, my money's safe. We know nothing except more here-say and conjecture (which are kinds of evidence).

ANY MINUTE does not mean an hour will pass. Don't they understand literalism?

Seams like you don't. Literally "any minute" is any time before or after the message was posted in multiples of 60 seconds. This is kind of retarded though. Whatever, this bugs me.

From the official site:

Pumpkins reveal details for upcoming tours, announce plans to play New York, Los Angeles and Chicago for 20th anniversary tour in November
Smashingpumpkins.com has some details regarding the upcoming touring plans for the band.

As stated previously, the band will be heading out into the United States for the first time in 2008 during August. This tour will be for fun and will consist of unique sets and songs. Expect this tour to visit mostly smaller-sized venues.

Whereas the August dates will be at smaller venues, the November 20th Anniversary shows will be at large venues. We can confirm the band will be playing in New York, Chicago, L.A. as well as additional cities that have yet to be announced. These shows will focus on the band's history, legacy, and accomplishments over their career.

The Gish era tour will be moved to early 2009 to make way for the 20th Anniversary shows this November. Discussions are still taking place regarding which cities will be played.

Billy Corgan had this to say about the current tour line-up for 2008:

"The August tour is going to be a blast... Expect a very loud and raucous show from us...and we are very, very happy to know we will finally be playing our own shows come November in New York, L.A., and Chicago... The 20th Anniversary shows will be magical... We are already working on lots of surprises"
