Billy Corgan and the Machines of God will embark on a tour in June to commemorate the anniversaries of the Smashing Pumpkins’ albums Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness and the pair of Machina albums, along with selections from Corgan’s 2024 solo release, Aghori Mhori Mei. The new quartet will feature Corgan backed by guitarist Kiki Wong, drummer Jake Hayden, and bassist Kid Tigrrr (a.k.a. Jenna Fournier), who will perform Pumpkins’ classics and deep cuts on a tour dubbed, A Return to Zero. The 16-date jaunt kicks off on June 7 in Baltimore, hitting major music markets like Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Detroit, and Cleveland, before winding down on June 29 in Minneapolis. Tickets go on-sale to the public on April 4, following an artist presale on April 1. Additionally, Corgan is reissuing the Machina albums in multiple formats, and has partnered with Chicago’s Lyric Opera to present A Night of Mellon Collie and Infinite Sadness in November.
