The Smashing Pumpkins are heading Down Under

The Smashing Pumpkins recently announced ‘The World is a Vampire’ tour.

They bring along with them American Rock heavyweights Jane’s Addiction, Australian favorites who are currently taking the world by storm Amyl & the Sniffers, triple J’s very own Emmy Mack’s band Redhook and finally forged deep in the fiery pits of the underworld, Battlesnake.

And honestly if that wasn’t enough there’s some pro-wrestling to wet the whistle with NWA vs WAOA. 

This line up seems like the ultimate mid-90’s teen flick on steroids, and is not to be missed. With some of the dates already sold-out, some venue and date changes, please take note and DO NOT sleep on buying tickets, as we have a hunch this will sell out soon.
