SMASHING PUMPKINS performed the song “Knights Of Malta” on last night’s (Wednesday, August 7) episode of “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” on CBS. You can now watch the band’s appearance below.

SMASHING PUMPKINS and NOEL GALLAGHER’S HIGH FLYING BIRDS will kick off a 16-date co-headlining tour tonight at BB&T Pavilion in Camden, New Jersey. AFI will join as special guest on all dates. Produced by Live Nation, the trek will make stops in Toronto, Chicago, Dallas, and more before wrapping August 31 in Mountain View, California at Shoreline Amphitheatre.

Formed in Chicago, Illinois in 1988, SMASHING PUMPKINS released its debut album, “Gish”, in 1991 and found mainstream success with 1993’s multi-platinum “Siamese Dream” and 1995’s “Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness”. With over 30 million albums sold to date, the two-time Grammy, MTV VMA and American Music Award-winning band remains one of the most influential alternative rock acts in the world.

The seminal group embarked on the 2018 “Shiny And Oh So Bright Tour”, which sold over 300,000 tickets across North America and saw them playing sold-out arena shows at venues, including The Forum, United Center and Madison Square Garden. The tour was the band’s first in nearly two decades to feature Billy Corgan, Jimmy Chamberlin and James Iha, alongside longtime guitarist Jeff Schroeder, bassist Jack Bates and keyboardist Katie Cole.
