The Shiny and Oh So Bright tour was a large-scale arena tour and the first with James Iha in the lineup since the The Sacred and Profane tour in 2000. Linda Strawberry was the creative director, with her company Coloma Productions and another company called Nimblist handling general production and lighting, while TAIT Towers was responsible for the stage hardware.[1]

Prior to the tour, there were some notable exchanges from frontman Billy Corgan and founding bassist D'arcy Wretzky over her absence from the reunited band.[2][3] The tour was noted also for having a three-hour setlist with material solely from the band's first five albums, except for four covers and the 2018 single "Solara".[4][5]

The tour also included select dates billed as the 30th Anniversary Series, and are organized separately here. The most notable show was August 2, 2018 in New Jersey which occurred during the middle of the other Shiny shows. Other shows in November and December were later booked with the "30th Anniversary Series" moniker, all offering varying setlists.

Background

For many years after the band’s initial breakup, they had toured with a litany of members, including Chamberlin himself when the band first reformed in 2006, although he quickly departed by early 2009. In 2015 he made a return to the band as a touring member for The End Times tour with Marilyn Manson and 2016’s In Plainsong tour, which was "acoustic-electro" and saw the band reach into their catalog of rarities alongside some hits.[6][7] James Iha made a few surprise returns on this tour as well, marking the first time he had shared a stage with Corgan since December 2, 2000.[8] On February 15, 2018 the band announced both Chamberlin and Iha would return on a full-member basis, alongside now longtime member Jeff Schroeder, making the band's first ever lineup with three permanent guitarists.

This tour would be the band's first arena trek since the Oceania tour, which itself was a mixture of arenas and theaters. Before the tour kicked off its arena stops across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Italy, two warmup shows were played at The Troubadour in Los Angeles on June 27, 2018, which saw AFI's Davey Havok make a guest appearance to perform the Joy Division song "Transmission", and a small backyard house show where the band had filmed the "1979" music video years earlier.[9]

Reception

Reviews of the tour most often were positive. Many praised the tour for how much ground the setlist covered throughout the performance.[10] Others pointed out the tour's focus on fans' nostalgia, and that the tour performed every hit song along with several rarities and cover songs.[11] The band's performance of Led Zeppelin's renowned song "Stairway to Heaven" also garnered lots of attention for being authentic to the original.[12]== Personnel ==
