With their sold-out nine-show residency in Asheville, NC fully underway and their ZEITGEIST album out July 10, THE SMASHING PUMPKINS have announced plans for a major North American fall concert tour. Kicking off with a pair of festival performances (September 8 in Montreal and September 9 in Toronto), the trek will take the band to theatres and amphitheatres including Red Rocks in Denver. The fall tour–the band’s first full-scale North American tour since 2000–is highlighted by stops in such cities as Boston and Philadelphia where the group will perform multiple nights. Tickets go on sale July 14. Fans of THE SMASHING PUMPKINS who pre-order the upcoming ZEITGEIST CD (out July 10 on Martha’s Music/Reprise) on iTUNES will receive a unique password to purchase pre-sale concert tickets on www.ticketmaster.com.

The Asheville residency concludes July 5 and will be followed by an 11-show run of sold-out shows at the historic Fillmore in San Francisco starting July 15, after which the group will return to Europe for 10 headlining and festival shows.

ZEITGEIST (Martha’s Music/Reprise) is the band’s much-anticipated sixth album and first of new material since 2000. It features the first single “Tarantula,” now positioned at #2 on the Billboard Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart and #7 on the publication’s Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart after arriving at radio only a few weeks ago. ZEITGEIST represents a powerful rebirth and reaffirmation of the Pumpkins by two of its key members, main singer-songwriter and guitarist Billy Corgan and drummer Jimmy Chamberlin. On the road, Billy and Jimmy have welcomed Jeff Schroeder (guitar) and Ginger Reyes (bass) to the line-up, which is supported by keyboardist Lisa Harriton.

Look for the Pumpkins to perform songs from ZEITGEIST on the “Late Show With David Letterman” on both Monday, July 9 and Friday, July 13.
