20th ANNIVERSARY TOUR DATES ANNOUNCED

With the 20th anniversary of The Smashing Pumpkins upon us, the band has made plans to conduct a special anniversary tour meant to be a celebration of the past, present, and future of the band.

To add to the uniqueness of these tour dates, the shows that are at the same venue on consecutive nights will feature differing complimentary setlists. This means that songs played on the first night, will not be played the second night. In addition to this, the shows that are being played on their own will have completely different sets than the consecutive nights!

To highlight these special circumstances, some two-night ticket packages are being made available through Ticketmaster to guarantee you seats for both nights of consecutive tour dates.

Tickets will be available through Ticketmaster and all other normal outlets, including at the venues themselves.




 
EXPERIENCE THE UPCOMING 20TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR AS A VIP!

SP will be offering a limited number of VIP concert experience packages for their upcoming 20th Anniversary Tour in each city. The package includes premium seating, a meet and greet with the band, and some very exclusive gifts designed for the 20th anniversary tour.

IF ALL GOES WRONG DVD DOCUMENTARY AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER - AVAILABLE NOVEMBER 11th

If All Goes WrongThe long-awaited Smashing Pumpkins documentary / live-performance DVD If All Goes Wrong will be released November 11th, 2008. The 2-disc set can be Pre-ordered now on Amazon.com!

Directed and produced by Jack Gulick (Bruce Springsteen, Metallica, Steve Miller Band, Godsmack) and Daniel E Catullo III (Steve Miller Band, Godsmack, Rush, Dave Matthews Band), the two DVD set contains the 105-minute documentary, also titled If All Goes Wrong, plus The Fillmore Residency, a full concert filmed in late July and early August of 2007 over five of the 11 sold-out nights at the famed Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco, CA.

The concert disc was captured in 5.1 Surround Sound and state-of-the-art high definition from 12 cameras and features seven all new tracks not available anywhere else, along with new versions of fan favorites and a selection of Pumpkins rarities.

From the opening note to the final chord, the documentary If All Goes Wrong showcases a band returning with an "enveloping epic force" (Los Angeles Times) as it traces The Smashing Pumpkins during their 19-show residency, which began with eight shows at Asheville, NC's Orange Peel in late June and continued through 11 sold-out nights at San Francisco's famed Fillmore Auditorium. Interviews with band members, fans, journalists and fellow musicians reveal the fears, excitement, determination, exhaustion and tension inherent in main singer-songwriter and lead guitarist Billy Corgan and his newly revitalized musical unit.

"We went into the residencies hopeful to play some new music, with the idea I would write during the day and we could maybe even play new songs that same night," Corgan comments. "What I didn't anticipate is how much the process would inspire me, positively and negatively, to report what I was seeing and feeling from the shows. The documentary shows that process in an interesting way that reveals the link between the band and our audience."

The documentary also includes Voices Of The Ghost Children, a featurette about the band's fans, and an interview with The Who's legendary guitarist and songwriter Pete Townshend as bonus material.

The concert portion of the If All Goes Wrong, entitled The Fillmore Residency, runs 115 minutes and includes seven of the almost 20 all-new compositions the band composed and performed exclusively during the residencies that are available exclusively on this release. With 15 songs in all, the concert - captured in 5.1 Surround Sound and state-of-the-art high definition from 12 cameras - showcases the band as they explore the freedom afforded to them in a live setting, including the 30+ minute opus "Gossamer". Along with the new tracks, the concert also includes alternate versions of fan favorites and a selection of Pumpkins rarities. The Fillmore Residency also includes five songs recorded live from the floor of The Fillmore that gives fans an intimate glimpse of the band as a performing entity.
