The tour will be the first time the group have returned to the UK since 2008,and will also be the first since original drummer Jimmy Chamberlain departed in 2009.
Singer/guitarist Billy Corgan, guitarist Jeff Schroeder, drummer Mike Byrne and bassist Nicole Fiorentino are now hard at work putting the finishing touches on 'Oceania', which will mark their first full album since 2007's 'Zeitgeist'. Oceania is "an album within an album", part of their in-progress 44-song work 'Teargarden By Kaleidyscope'. Featuring 13 new songs, Oceania will be released in early 2012.
The band also propose to release their entire album catalogue, which will be remastered and reissued with bonus tracks, starting with 'Gish', 'Siamese Dream', and 'Pisces Iscariot' at the end of this year, with 'Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness', 'The Aeroplane Flies High', and 'Adore' due for release in 2012.
