Smashing Pumpkins announce sequel to ‘Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness’ and ‘Machina’ - NME

Smashing Pumpkins have announced a sequel album to ‘Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness’ and ‘Machina/The Machines of God’, as well as plans for anniversary shows.

Billy Corgan took to YouTube today (October 22) to clarify what the band are working on after widespread confusion that the as-yet-unnamed sequel record was only for ‘Mellon Collie…’.

Additionally, the frontman explained that the band will celebrate the 25th anniversary of ‘Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness’ (released in the UK on October 23, 1995) with a tour once the coronavirus pandemic eases.

‘Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness’, the band’s third studio effort, contained the singles ‘1979’, ‘Tonight, Tonight’, ‘Bullet With Butterfly Wings’ and ‘Thirty-Three’.

Corgan discussed his hopes to embark on a 25th anniversary live tour for ‘Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness’ back in 2018
