Corgan celebrates album anniversary

The Smashing Pumpkins’ Billy Corgan is celebrating the 30th anniversary of his band’s era-defining “Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness” by going small, and leaving his fellow Pumpkins behind.

Corgan will perform at Detroit’s Saint Andrew’s Hall on June 19, promoters announced Monday. It’s part of a nationwide tour from Corgan’s new solo project, Billy Corgan and The Machines of God, which will commemorate the “Mellon Collie” anniversary as well as the 25th anniversaries of the Pumpkins’ “Machina/The Machines of God” and “Machina II/The Friends & Enemies of Modern Music.”

Corgan will perform with guitarist Kiki Wong, drummer Jake Hayden and bassist Kid Tigrrr.
