American alternative rockers The Smashing Pumpkins have just announced a 26-date North American “The World Is A Vampire” tour, produced by Live Nation.
The trek starts on Friday, July 28 at The Chelsea at the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas. The tour will include special guests Interpol, Stone Temple Pilots, and Rival Sons as support on various dates, as well as some of the world’s biggest champions from the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), who will be competing in most cities.
The Smashing Pumpkins‘ Billy Corgan stated: “I grew up in a world where I needed to know bands like Siouxsie And The Banshees and The Cure existed, it meant there was a place for people like me to hang out and belong. That’s what ‘The World Is A Vampire’ is about. Bringing back that sense of community. If you don’t fit in, you belong here. It’s about having a shared experience and respecting others, but ultimately having fun. A true alternative festival, where all the self-proclaimed weirdos and outsiders of the world can get together and have a party.”
