The Smashing Pumpkins have just unveiled an extensive 2023 headline tour.

Entitled The World Is A Vampire, the 26-date run will see Billy Corgan and co. hit the road with Interpol, Stone Temple Pilots and Rival Sons at various dates, with tickets going on sale at 10am local time on Friday, March 31.

“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,” says Billy of the tour. “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.”

To coincide with the tour announcement, Pumpkins have also confirmed the final act of their trilogy album Atum, due out on May 5, and they’ll be dropping new single Spellbinding this Friday.
