Will Mark McGrath sing with the Pumpkins again?

Smashing Pumpkins' 30th anniversary show in NJ was a guest-filled affair, with appearances from Courtney Love, Chino Moreno, Dave Keuning and Mark Stoermer of The Killers, Peter Hook, Davey Havok, and, for whatever reason, Sugar Ray's Mark McGrath.

The Pumpkins did their own songs with Chino Moreno (Deftones) and Killers members; Hole songs and "Bullet with Butterfly Wings" with Courtney; Joy Division/New Order songs with Peter Hook, Davey Havok (AFI), and Courtney; and Sugar Ray and Judas Priest with Mark McGrath.

It will also, for some reason, feature Sugar Ray frontman Mark McGrath.

Weezer at Jones Beach in 2011 (more by Dana (distortion) Yavin) So it turns out that totally awesome cruise that Mark McGrath was going to do with a redonkulously stacked lineup of Smash Mouth, Sugar Ray, Gin Blossoms, Spin Doctors, Vertical Horizon, and more isn't going to happen after all...

The Marc McGrath and Friends Cruise (aka SS Brochella).... Not convinced? Here's proof.

Slash is playing Hammerstein Ballroom on September 18 with Myles Kennedy and Foxy Shazam. Tickets for that show are on sale now. With all the '90s nostalgia that goes on, here's a bit that we might have been okay with not coming back...

I wouldn't say I'm a huge fan, but anyway the UK's Mystery Jets are returning to North America to tour in May and June. They'll play Joe's Pub one night before they play Bowery Ballroom while in NYC...
