The Smashing Pumpkins are coming to The Fillmore

I have to admit that I'm pretty excited about this news. The snag is that the Smashing Pumpkins broke up in 2000 and the reunited band 'only' consists of Billy Corgan and Jimmy Chamberlin from the original members. Their new album Zeitgeist is being released on July 10th, so it's anyones guess whether it's going to be any good or not.


Here's the official announcement. It could be a fantastic show - maybe the $25 are worth the risk...

The Smashing Pumpkins have announced eight unprecedented shows at the The Fillmore in San Francisco, CA.

The eight concerts in San Francisco mark the first time the band has returned to The Fillmore since April of 1994 when they were invited to be the band to re-open the historic venue. Fans attending the Fillmore shows are invited to capture the concerts with audio and video recorders.

General admission tickets for these all-ages shows go on sale Sunday, May 20. The San Francisco tickets ($25.00 each) and will be available at 10:00 AM Pacific via www.ticketmaster.com and www.livenation.com.
