Smashing Pumpkins To Play New Stuff On Fall Tour

Fans who plan to catch The Smashing Pumpkins in concert this fall will have the opportunity to see the alt-rockers debut songs from their upcoming album, "Oceania".

Billy Corgan and friends will be road testing the new material during a handful of October dates, according to RollingStone.com.

The Pumpkins, who also include Jeff Schroeder, Mike Byrne and Nicole Fiorentino, said they will play plenty of hits and lesser-known material in the shows, too.

"Oceania" is due in early 2012 and is the first official album from the band since 2007's "Zeitgeist". The album is just one part of Corgan and Co.'s larger, 44-song "Teargarden" by Kaleidyscope Project.

Smashing Pumpkins tour dates:

10/05 - Los Angeles, CA - Wiltern Theatre
10/07 - Oakland, CA - The Fox Theatre
10/08 - Las Vegas, NV - The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas
10/10 - Denver, CO - Ogden Theatre

Probably the most value for money live performers you can find these days.Last time i saw them in glasgow few years back they must have played for 3 to 3 and a half hours.

TBK was originally meant to have a song out every 3 weeks. Last year it was roughly every 2 months. This year we've had 2 songs in 8 months with Billy saying the rest of Volume 3 won't come out until after Oceania which is now delayed until next year. I don't really know what to make of it anymore..
