Smashing Pumpkins

“I don’t play any songs I don’t want to play. I don’t care if they’re a classic or not.”

Headlining shows will coincide with band's concerts with Green Day this summer.

Green Day also shares a new song from their upcoming album.

He says he's ready to "explore a slightly different path."

They shared the news during a Las Vegas club show full of deep cuts and a full-album performance of 'Dookie.'

The Smashing Pumpkins frontman destroyed his health, relationships and almost his life while creating the 1993 album.

The 1993 single marked the first mainstream hit for Billy Corgan's band.

Eclectic lineup also featured Sheryl Crow, Nile Rodgers, Duran Duran and an appearance by Sammy Hagar.

"When it's all said and done, I want the Pumpkins standing on the top of the heap of our generation," bandleader said.
