Spirits On Fire tour

The Spirits On Fire tour by The Smashing Pumpkins takes place in autumn 2022 and is co-headlined by fellow alternative rock legends Jane's Addiction. Prior to this tour, The Smashing Pumpkins had only shared the bill with Jane's Addiction twice – once as a surprise opening act on November 3, 1997, and the other being one of the Pumpkins' earliest shows on November 23, 1988 at the Cabaret Metro in Chicago. The two groups were scheduled to appear at the Welcome to Rockville festival on May 22, 2022, but due to an illness within the band, Jane's Addiction was replaced by Perry Farrell's side project, Porno for Pyros.

The tour was announced on the The Howard Stern Show on May 11, 2022, and is to also include supporting acts by Poppy and Meg Myers. In celebration of the tour and their career, the day following the announcement, Billy Corgan, Jimmy Chamberlin and Jeff Schroeder added their handprints to the cement outside the famous Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. James Iha was not feeling well and was unable to make the ceremony.
