This morning, The Smashing Pumpkins announced a 26-date North American "The World Is a Vampire Tour" that begins in Las Vegas on July 28. The alt-rockers will get support on varied dates from Interpol, Stone Temple Pilots, and Rival Sons, as well as from some of the world’s biggest champions from the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), who will be competing in most cities. They've also dropped a new single called "Spellbinding," which arrives ahead of the third installment in their Atum LP series slated for release on April 21.
"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," Billy Corgan shared. "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."
Listen to "Spellbinding" and find their tour dates below.
