Metric opening Smashing Pumpkins' "reunion" tour
The Smashing Pumpkins have expanded their sorta-reunion tour with Billy Corgan, James Iha, and Jimmy Chamberlin, adding three more Canadian dates. They also announced a support band for all dates who are also Canadian, Metric
Metric will join for the NYC show, which happens August 1 at Madison Square Garden (tickets). Updated dates are listed below.
Metric’s latest album is 2015’s Pagans In Vegas. Last year, singer Emily Haines released a new solo album and contributed to her pals Broken Social Scene’s new album Hug of Thunder.
Billy Corgan was recently on Lars Ulrich’s Beats 1 show to discuss the controversial absence of D’Arcy Wretzky from this tour, and he said: “I spent two years before all that repairing my relationship and every time I tried to get into a room with her — so, I still haven’t been in a room with her in 19 years.”
