Smashing Pumpkins revealed they would embark on a Latin America trek a month after wrapping-up their North American run. The 7-date “The World Is A Vampire” tour across the southern part of the continent will mark the band’s first time playing in the country in nearly ten years.
The rockers will begin performances November 1 at Brasilia’s Arena BRB, then visit São Paulo, Brazil; Buenos Aires, Argentina; Lima, Peru; Quito, Ecuador; and Bogota, Colombia before concluding their tour at Parque Viva in San Jose, Costa Rica on November 16.
Just announced! 📣📣 For the first time in nearly a decade, SP will be playing a multi-city tour of Latin and South American this fall!

The band’s frontman Billy Corgan recently stated they had spent the last two years working on a guitar-driven new studio album, partially in response to the negative reception of the emphasis of synthesizers on the Atum [Atum: A Rock Opera in Three Acts (2022–2023)] release.
The forthcoming album, Aghori Mhori Mei – the band’s 13th album – will arrive on August 2. It will only be released digitally at first, with physical editions following later.
“In the writing of this new album I became intrigued with the well-worn axiom, ‘You can’t go home again’,” Corgan noted in a statement, “which I have found personally to be true in form but thought, well, what if we tried anyway?”
“Not so much in looking backwards with sentimentality but rather as a means to move forward; to see if in the balance of success and failure that our ways of making music circa 1990-1996 would still inspire something revelatory.”
Ahead of the release of the new album and the Latin America trek this fall, the Smashing Pumpkins will head for a two-month North American tour that will run from the end of July through September 28. The dates are a combination of the band’s stadium gigs on “The Saviors Tour” with Green Day, as well as solo shows.
Smashing Pumpkins launched the worldwide “The World Is A Vampire” tour in 2023. Last year’s run featured special guests Interpol, Stone Temple Pilots, and Rival Sons as support on various dates. A highlight from the band’s 2023 headlining jaunt includes a 15,922-ticket sellout at Toronto’s Budweiser Stage September 2, which grossed $581,177, according to Pollstar Boxoffice reports.
