The Smashing Pumpkins have revealed details of their upcoming twentieth anniversary tour, which will kick off in 9 Aug at The Venue in Hammond, Indiana. Pre-empting criticism that they aren't starting off in their home town of Chicago, the band's official website said: "For those of you in the Chicago area, realise this is closer to Chicago than the Pumpkins have been since their final show on 2 Dec 2000". They also revealed that tour dates in August will see the band play smaller venues in "areas which didn't receive enough attention throughout the US in the past year", before larger shows in LA, New York and Chicago in November. In addition to this, there will also be a "Gish-era tour" to coincide with the re-release of the band's first album (that's 'Gish', keep up) at some point in 2009. No word if any of this will get to the UK.
