Grammy® Award-winning, acclaimed alternative rock pioneers, The Smashing Pumpkins today released a music video for their new single “Solara”.
Directed by Nick Koenig, the dreamlike clip expands on the theatrics of the band’s catalog of iconic music videos. Watch the video below.
Next month, The Smashing Pumpkins will embark on the Shiny And Oh So Bright North American arena tour. Produced by Live Nation, the tour is the band’s first in nearly 20 years to feature founding members Corgan, Chamberlin, and Iha. Longtime Smashing Pumpkins guitarist Jeff Schroeder, bassist Jack Bates, and keyboardist Katie Cole will also take part, as the band moves to a three guitar lineup to better emulate the signature tones and textures of their albums.
The Shiny And Oh So Bright Tour will kick off in Glendale, AZ on July 12, 2018 and visit arenas throughout the summer. Indie rock band Metric will support them on the tour. On August 2, the band will perform a special 30th anniversary show at PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ. Tickets for the band’s upcoming live dates are available here, and via the Live Nation App, here.
Formed in Chicago, IL in 1988, The Smashing Pumpkins released their heralded debut album “Gish” in 1991 and found mainstream success with 1993’s 4x multi-platinum “Siamese Dream” and 1995’s 10x multi-platinum “Mellon Collie” and the “Infinite Sadness”. With nine studio albums and over 30 million albums sold to date, the GrammyY®, MTV VMA, and American Music Award winning band remains one of the most influential bands in history.
