The list includes includes a lot of what you’d expect — “Today,” “1979,” “Bullet with Butterfly Wings” — as well as a few covers, such as David Bowie‘s “Space Oddity,” Joy Division‘s “Love Will Tear Us Apart” and Led Zeppelin‘s “Stairway to Heaven.” Let’s hope the arenas the Pumpkins are playing don’t have a “No Stairway” policy.
On the tour, the Pumpkins plan to exclusively play songs from their first five albums, from 1991’s Gish to 2000’s Machina/The Machines of God. If you don’t see your favorite song, you can suggest a track on social media using the tag #SP2018. “Remember, the goal is to build an epic set!” Corgan says. “So choose wisely.”
The Shiny and Oh So Bright tour, which will not feature original bassist D’arcy Wretzky, kicks off July 12 in Glendale, Arizona.
