And no, D’arcy Wretzky isn’t joining them

The Smashing Pumpkins have finally made good on all the teasers and announced a tour. Billy Corgan has reunited with classic lineup members James Iha and Jimmy Chamberlin, plus late-2000s guitarist Jeff Schroeder, to hit the road for the “Shiny and Oh So Bright” tour this summer. They will be "celebrating songs from their first 5 albums from Gish to Machina," "exclusively" playing music from those albums, according to a press release. The announcement comes after weeks of drama involving former bassist D’arcy Wretzky. Although the band claimed they asked her to re-join the group “repeatedly,“ she called that claim “a complete lie.“ Wretzky also said of Corgan, “I honestly think he may have a brain tumor. He’s always been insufferable.” Find the dates below and in the YouTube video, starring Ali Laenger and LySandra Roberts, the same women who appeared on the cover of Siamese Dream:
