The Smashing Pumpkins have released their first official photo of the 2018 ‘Shiny and Oh So Bright’ tour lineup which features Billy Corgan, James Iha, Jimmy Chamberlin, and Jeff Schroeder. Olivia Bee took the photo.

Billy Corgan wrote on Instagram, “And now that we can discuss this, @jjjschroeder, @jamesihaofficial and I are going to a 3-guitar supershoegaze alignment for the tour. So expect crazy hyper-sonic recreations of the first 5 SP albums. Which I’m so psyched for, our ability to bring all that beautiful guitar work to life for the very first time #smashingpumpkins @smashingpumpkins #SP2018.”

He also discussed seeing the Siamese Dream girls reunite for the tour announcement video, “Warms my heart to see these two beautiful women back together!! @smashingpumpkins #smashingpumpkins #SP2018.”
