Smashing Pumpkins’ Billy Corgan To Tour With New Solo Project

Billy Corgan and the Machines of God will embark on a North American tour this June. The new quartet will perform material from classic The Smashing Pumpkins albums celebrating anniversaries this year and Corgan’s 2024 LP, Aghori Mhori Mei, at intimate venues across the U.S. and Canada.

Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan is joined in his new project by guitarist Kiki Wong, drummer Jake Hayden and bassist Kid Tigrrr (Jenna Fournier). Wong is the newest member of Smashing Pumpkins who came aboard in 2024 after winning an open audition process for the slot.

The tour, dubbed A Return To Zero, commemorates the 30th anniversary of Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness and 25th anniversary of Machina/The Machines of God and Machina II/The Friends & Enemies of Modern Music. Additionally, The Smashing Pumpkins’ 2000 Machina albums will be revisited for a forthcoming box set and vinyl release.

Billy Corgan and The Machines of God kick off the tour on June 7 in Baltimore (Maryland), followed by Boston on June 9. The group then heads to Canada for performances in Muskoka (Ontario) on June 11, Toronto on June 12, and Montreal on June 13.

Returning to the United States, they’ll play in New York City on June 15, Philadelphia on June 16 and Allentown (Pennsylvania) on June 17. The tour continues in Detroit on June 19, Joliet (Illinois) on June 20 for the Taste of Joliet festival and Grand Rapids (Michigan) on June 21.
