THE SMASHING PUMPKINS have announced plans for a major North American fall concert tour. L.A. dates soon be announced.

Kicking off with a pair of festival performances (September 8 in Montreal and September 9 in Toronto), the trek will take the band to theatres and amphitheatres including Red Rocks in Denver.

The fall tour--the band’s first full-scale North American tour since 2000--is highlighted by stops in such cities as Boston and Philadelphia where the group will perform multiple nights. Tickets go on sale July 14.

There wil also be an 11-show run of sold-out shows at the historic Fillmore in San Francisco starting July 15.
