When you speak about the ’90s alternative rock boom, it’s impossible not to think of The Smashing Pumpkins. Formed in Chicago in 1988, the band quickly rose to fame thanks to their hit albums Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.

Over the years they’ve achieved the feat of receiving critical acclaim as well as a die-hard cult following. Fans of The Smashing Pumpkins love them for their dreamy yet grungy alt-rock sound, as well as frontman Billy Corgan’s poetic lyrics.

Now fans have the chance to hear all their favourite tracks live again thanks to the announcement of The Smashing Pumpkins latest tour, which will take place across the UK and Ireland in June 2024.

And it’s not just The Smashing Pumpkins that fans will get to enjoy. The alt-rock icons have announced an equally iconic supporting act: cult favourite band Weezer. Known for tracks such as Island in the Sun and Buddy Holly, any alt-rock fan worth their salt will be over the moon with this line up.

Announcing the tour on X (formerly Twitter), Weezer said “Today is the greatest day we’ve ever known. UK and Ireland, we’re coming back around to co-headline a handful of shows next summer with @SmashingPumpkins.”

We’ve rounded up everything you need to know about getting tickets, from dates and venues to release dates and more. Come June 2024, you could be saying that you’re going to see The Smashing Pumpkins Tonight, Tonight.
