Smashing Pumpkins announce a 30th anniversary tour for Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, branded “The Rats in a Cage Tour.” The band’s double album originally released in 1995 (often referenced in coverage as their mid-1990s breakthrough) is the centerpiece of the celebration. Multiple outlets report that each show is structured as two distinct sets. One set features a full performance of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness presented in a highly theatrical setting. A second set draws from the band’s broader catalog, mixing hits with deep cuts across their long career. The tour is set to run in 2026, with outlets noting it follows earlier major arena tours that leaned toward material from the group’s output prior to later projects. While outlets vary in phrasing and framing, they align on the core details: the anniversary theme, the “Rats in a Cage” name, the expectation of a full album performance night-by-night, and an additional set of other Smashing Pumpkins material. Coverage does not list specific dates or venues in the provided excerpts.
