In Plainsong Tour 2016
Very excited for this as I missed the last run. And there's a handful of tasty tidbits, like Jimmy mentioned as a current member of the band and the new album being recorded post tour. Oh and Liz Phair...big win for me as my wife loves Liz Phair!
SP Nexus THE SMASHING PUMPKINS PRESENT “IN PLAINSONG” AN ACOUSTIC-ELECTRO EVENING TICKETS FOR THE NORTH AMERICAN TOUR ON SALE BEGINNING FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5TH AT 9AM EST LIZ PHAIR TO OPEN NEW RECORDING TO FOLLOW TOUR February 1, 2016—New York— Building on their fans’ demands for more of last year's brief, but critically acclaimed In Plainsong tour, The Smashing Pumpkins return to the road this spring to bring the Acoustic-Electro Evening across the country for a full run of classic North American theaters. Last year's shows sold out in a matter of minutes, and the iconic venues the band picked for the performances proved the perfect intimate settings for an evening of acoustic based music and electronic soundscapes that allowed the Pumpkins to explore their whole song catalog in a unique way. The reaction to the run was overwhelmingly positive, with reviews calling the performances "electric" and "emotionally charged". "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!" The Grammy Award-winning rock group, which includes Billy Corgan, Jimmy Chamberlin and Jeff Schroeder, will kick off the 19-city tour on March 22nd in Portland, OR and wrap on April 20th in Houston, TX. Tickets for the In Plainsong tour will go on sale beginning Friday, February 5th at 9am EST. Tickets will be available at http://www.smashingpumpkinsnexus.com/ Citi is the official credit card of the In Plainsong North American Tour. Citi cardmembers will have access to presale tickets beginning Tuesday, February 2nd, at 9AM ET through Thursday, February 4th through Citi’s Private Pass Program. For complete presale details visit www.citiprivatepass.com. The Pumpkins, always the rock and roll iconoclasts, will invert the traditional formula again by touring first before heading straight to the studio after the dates to record a brand new album inspired by the sounds explored in the new acoustic setting. Singer-songwriter Liz Phair is set to open the show for the Smashing Pumpkins on her first full tour of the U.S. in 6 years. Her debut studio album Exile in Guyville was released to critical acclaim and has been ranked by Rolling Stone as one of the “500 Greatest Albums of All Time.” More than two decades after the release of her debut, Phair's influence over female voices in alternative music can still be felt today. 2015 proved to be great for the Pumpkins, who saw their End Times summer tour in support of last year's Monuments to an Elegy album produce their best ticket sales in over 12 years. The Chicago Sun-Times called their performance “epic,” while Rolling Stone exclaimed that the current line-up “played with the tightness of a time-tested unit.” With 20 million albums sold in the United States alone, the Smashing Pumpkins are one of rock’s most commercially successful and critically acclaimed bands. Since their inception, the Smashing Pumpkins disavowed the punk rock roots of many of their alt-rock contemporaries by creating a diverse, densely layered, and guitar-heavy sound, containing elements of gothic rock, heavy metal, dream pop, psychedelic rock, progressive rock, and even electronica. They broke into the musical mainstream as their second album, 1993's Siamese Dream, sold over 6 million copies. From there, the group has continued to build its audience through extensive touring, selling out arenas around the world for over two decades. Their 1995 follow-up recording, double album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, entered the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart at number one.

So a couple lingering questions have been answered by this press release:
(1) Day4Night is dead (2) Jimmy is back in the fold (probably indefinitely but I will take what I can get) (3) Jimmy is recording on the new album! (4) Peter Katsis after losing his company because he was too obsessed with the Pumpkins is still the manager of the band (glad to see BC didn't cast him by the wayside). (5) SP finally have a new PR firm after dropping MSO, they're being represented by Rogers & Cowan now so no more PR written by Airplane Mode hopefully. |

This is a joke right? ....anyways this is fantastic news, it seems like a good way to warm up the band. im a little discouraged that the new album is going to be inspired by the tour, im still hoping against hope that SP can climb back on that progressive rocketship they were riding in 2008... still think the 20th anniversary tour with JC was the highlight of SP2 |

Miss school. School is horse shit. Yeah, what to do all day in one of America's finest cities? Watch Ferris Bueller's Day Off for some inspiration

I mean, I don't have a car or any money. I probably have to figure out a way to stay overnight because the next train doesn't leave until like 3 in the afternoon the next day, too.
I dunno I've never done this before and I'm sure everything I'm typing sounds stupid But yeah fuck school, I'd rather see the Pumpkins |

Also, what do we have to do for pre-sale? I feel like I've signed up for a dozen different things for SP and don't ever remember getting a pre-sale email notification.

I had a friend outside of the Pantages Theatre the morning the tickets went on sale so we was able to buy them directly from the box office. We had nice seats near the front and off to the left for $50 each I believe.
Pumpkins tickets are the only tickets I ever really spend lots of money on. The ticket for the 2007 St. Paul show was around $65 after fees and that was the most expensive ticket I had bought in forever. I would do $65 again for this tour but I'm only buying one ticket. |
