A One-of-a-Kind Show Featuring Two Distinct Sets Celebrating the 30th Anniversary of Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness Plus Nearly Four Decades Of Hits And Dark Treasures.

“Staging a Mellon Collie-themed show is something we’ve discussed for over a decade, and finally the stars have aligned and exactly on the terms I’d set: which was to build a special night around its most enduring aspirations and ideas.
With set 1 of The Rats In A Cage Tour exclusively featuring Mellon Collie songs in a highly theatrical setting, and set 2 drawing from the rest of our canon so that there’s a decent amount of variance as to what songs we’ll play from night to night: from our first in ‘Gish’ to our last in ‘Aghori Mhori Mei’.” - Billy Corgan

ZERO IS DEAD

In the brisk and heady autumn of 1995, Zero appeared without warning: as mirror, wound, joke, threat, prayer and then, this reflection in glass.Countless souls understood. Countless others did not, and yet, the lonely kept him alive far longer and into some greater influence than anyone might have intended. For that, we know Zero and those who loved him are grateful.

Livestream at 5 pm: link in bio

ZERO 1995-2026

“Opera and rock both tell stories of heightened emotions, and I am excited for both fans of my music and traditional opera fans to hear some truly inspired work; for the balance here is to honor both traditions in a magisterial way.” - William Patrick Corgan

3 years ago, ATUM: A Rock Opera in Three Acts was released.
A 33-song opus—continuing the story begun with Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness and Machina/The Machines of God.

“It’s basically the story of a character through three different iterations.
In ’95 it was Zero; in 2000 it was Glass; and here, Shiny.
A psychological metamorphosis unfolding over time.” - Billy Corgan
