Billy Corgan Announces Solo Tour Featuring Tracks from Smashing Pumpkins’ Iconic Albums
Billy Corgan, frontman of the legendary rock band The Smashing Pumpkins, has revealed a new solo project titled Billy Corgan And The Machines Of God, alongside the announcement of his upcoming solo tour, “A Return To Zero.” This exciting new tour will honor the anniversaries of The Smashing Pumpkins’ iconic albums, drawing on tracks from Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness, Machina/The Machines of God, Machina II/The Friends & Enemies of Modern Music, and Corgan’s 2024 solo album Aghori Mhori Mei.
The “A Return To Zero” tour will feature a four-piece guitar lineup reminiscent of the one that originally brought these groundbreaking Pumpkins albums to life.
