# The Smashing Pumpkins Announce ‘In Plainsong’ Tour

*By Altwire Staff · February 1, 2016*

The Smashing Pumpkins have announced a Spring tour this March and April throughout North America, following up on the highly acclaimed and successful tour last year after their latest album, *Monuments To An Elegy.*

The In Plainsong Tour promises to bring back the 'epic' acoustic and electro-feels from their End Times Tour last year, their unique play through their catalog highly praised and overwhelmingly charged with emotion as fans and critics had described it.

Manager Peter Katsis explains that, *"what started as an interest in playing a truly different kind of show and looking for a different way to explore their storied musical past morphed into something new and exciting for the fans in every city."*

In Plainsong starts in Oregon March 22nd of 2016, general sales for tickets HERE beginning this week on February 5th. Opening for The Smashing Pumpkins is Liz Phair on her first full tour of the states in six years.

The Smashing Pumpkins are due back in the studio after the tour for their follow-up album to *Monuments To An Elegy*, the next album to grow off the inspiration from the new acoustic settings. The current line up has Billy Corgan, Jimmy Chamberlin and Jeff Schroeder.
