The Smashing Pumpkins will appear live on Jimmy Kimmel Tonight and kick off a tour this fall. I like the idea of having two nights of totally different music. Probably won't go see them but if I was a hardcore fan that would be exactly what I would want. Here is what Billy said on his blog...
"Those of you that may have seen either the press release or any info out there about the tour may find yourself scratching your head a bit about the shows format. We tried to keep it simple but as is our custom, its just not always that simple!! SO I thought I would post up some additional info to make sure that there was absolute clarity about what shows would be going on where-when.
First off, the 2 night format is about playing the most songs over 2 nights that would hopefully create very distinct shows from one another. No song will be repeated means exactly as it sounds, if you go to show #1 of a 2 night stand (black sunshine!), you wouldn't hear anything on night # 2 (white crosses) that you heard song-wise on the first night. The cities where we are playing only 1 show will feature an amalgamated show that will most likely have some songs we won't be playing in the 2 night format shows, but take from both the sunshine and the crosses show. Get it? I hope so...cause its a lot for us to digest as well.
Below is a list of shows, where I'll highlight just for overkill what show will be taking place:
