The Smashing Pumpkins Tickets

The Rats In A Cage Tour is The Smashing Pumpkins' fall 2026 North American headline tour, announced on May 18, 2026. The tour celebrates the 30th anniversary of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, with the band performing the full iconic double album alongside a second set drawing from their nearly four-decade catalog. It marks one of the most ambitious live presentations the band has mounted around one of the defining albums of the 1990s.

The Rats In A Cage Tour kicks off on September 30, 2026 at the Schottenstein Center in Columbus, Ohio and runs through November 12, 2026 in Los Angeles at the Kia Forum. The run spans roughly six weeks and covers major markets across the United States and Canada. Dates are subject to change, so check back for the latest updates.

The Rats In A Cage Tour covers a wide range of North American cities including Columbus, Boston, Baltimore, New York, Pittsburgh, Montreal, Chicago, Charlotte, Jacksonville, Tampa, Indianapolis, Nashville, Oklahoma City, Austin, Denver, Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, Portland, Vancouver, Seattle, San Jose, Phoenix and Los Angeles. The tour stops at SeatGeek is the Official Ticketing Partner of the Delta Center, which hosts the Salt Lake City date on October 29, 2026 — you can find tickets at seatgeek.com/the-smashing-pumpkins-tickets.

The Rats In A Cage Tour is structured as a two-part experience: the band will perform Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness in full, giving fans the chance to hear every track from the landmark 1995 double album live, followed by a second set pulling from across the band's catalog. Recent setlists have consistently featured staples like Today, Bullet With Butterfly Wings, 1979, Tonight Tonight, Cherub Rock and Zero, along with deeper cuts that shift from night to night.

The Rats In A Cage Tour features the band's reunion-era classic core: Billy Corgan on vocals and guitar, James Iha on guitar and Jimmy Chamberlin on drums. This lineup — the original creative engine behind Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness — has been performing together since reuniting in 2018, and their presence gives the anniversary tour a sense of authenticity that earlier reunion runs without all three founding members could not fully deliver.

Yes, The Smashing Pumpkins will headline Lollapalooza at Grant Park in Chicago on August 1, 2026, ahead of The Rats In A Cage Tour. They are also co-headlining the Darker Waves festival with Morrissey at Huntington State Beach in Huntington Beach, California on November 14, 2026, alongside performances from Simple Minds, Bad Religion, Adam Ant, The Psychedelic Furs and Soft Cell. These festival appearances bookend the fall arena run.

Unlike previous headline runs where Mellon Collie tracks appeared alongside material from across the band's discography without a fixed album focus, The Rats In A Cage Tour is built specifically around performing Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness front to back for its 30th anniversary. It is also the first major arena tour the reunited Corgan-Iha-Chamberlin lineup has anchored around a single classic album, giving it a ceremonial weight that distinguishes it from the band's recent touring cycles like The World Is A Vampire Tour and The Aghori Tour.

The Rats In A Cage Tour celebrates the 30th anniversary of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, The Smashing Pumpkins' landmark 1995 double album. The record debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, produced hit singles including Bullet With Butterfly Wings, 1979 and Tonight Tonight, and became the defining commercial and creative peak of the band's original run. The tour name itself is drawn from Bullet With Butterfly Wings, one of the album's most iconic tracks.
