Smashing Pumpkins Are Opening for Guns N' Roses in Toronto

Welcome to the year 2020, everyone

BY Brock ThiessenPublished Feb 6, 2020

There once was a time when the idea of an "alternative" band like Smashing Pumpkins opening for Top 40 stadium rockers Guns N' Roses seemed pretty insane. But this is now 2020, and that's exactly what's happening.

Yes, Billy Corgan and co. have been announced as the openers on Guns N' Roses' newly announced summer tour. This includes during the band's Toronto concert on July 13. 

Other dates on GNR's tour that will include Smashing Pumpkins are Philadelphia, Detroit, East Rutherford, Boston, and Washington, D.C.

Check out GNR's full routing below. Tickets for the tour go on sale tomorrow (February 7).

As recently reported, Smashing Pumpkins are currently working on a new double album that no doubt will be nowhere near as good as Mellon Collie.
