Feb. 22 (UPI) —<\/span> Smashing Pumpkins are going on tour in 2022.<\/p>\n The rock band shared plans for a new U.S. tour, Rock Invasion 2<\/i>, on Tuesday.\n<\/p>\n<\/article>\n The tour kicks off May 2 in San Antonio, Texas, and comes to a close May 28 in Columbus, Ohio. Tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. local time.\n<\/p>\n Smashing Pumpkins were originally to launch Rock Invasion 2<\/i> in April 2020 but canceled the tour due to the COVID-19 pandemic.\n<\/p>\n The band said in March 2020 that the tour would feature a set of heavier rock songs that span their entire catalog.<\/p>\n “It’s been a good while since we’ve played a straight up, bare knuckles rock and roll show; one that avoids little in the way of raw power. So note: this tour won’t be for those faint of heart, and will certainly echo the dynamic modes in which we built our live reputation,” frontman Billy Corgan said.<\/p>\n Smashing Pumpkins released their 11th studio album, Cyr<\/i>, in November 2020.<\/p>\n Here’s the full list of dates for the Rock Invasion 2<\/i> tour: <\/b><\/p>\n May 2 — San Antonio at Tech Port Arena<\/p>\n May 13 — Santa Barbara, Calif., at Santa Barbara Bowl<\/p>\n May 15 — Tucson at TBA<\/p>\n May 17 — Oklahoma City at TBA<\/p>\n May 18 — Camdenton, Mo., at Ozarks Amphitheater<\/p>\n May 20 — New Orleans at Champions Square<\/p>\n May 21 — Birmingham, Ala., at Avondale Brewing Co.<\/p>\n May 24 — Portsmouth, Va., at Atlantic Union Bank Pavilion<\/p>\n May 25 — Greensboro, N.C., at White Oak Amphitheatre<\/p>\n May 27 — Newport, Ky., at PromoWest Pavilion at Ovation<\/p>\n May 28 — Columbus, Ohio, at Kemba Live!<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 1\/3 Smashing Pumpkins will perform across the U.S. on the “Rock Invasion 2” tour in the spring.
