Break out your fancy hats and mint juleps: The Smashing Pumpkins will be playing downtown Louisville, Kentucky at the 9th Annual Forecastle Festival on July 10th! They’re scheduled to headline the Saturday night slot of the 3-day event, which also features The Flaming Lips, Widespread Panic, Spoon, DEVO (!) and a whole slew of others.
Full lineup here and schedule here. For more information about ticket options, including how to dock your boat in a VIP slip to enjoy the show, click here. And if you’re considering the boat option, call me.
Looks like the summer US tour dates are starting to trickle in; can’t wait for more!
UPDATE: Mosey on over to Consequence of Sound to enter their giveaway for a pair of passes to the event! Or try your luck for weekend passes over at Paste Magazine! Or maybe you’d like to upgrade and win VIP passes at JamBase. We’ll keep our eyes peeled for more contests…

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!There coming to Louisville Kentucky!!!!!!…Am i excited?????I think i’m going to cry lol whoooooo hoooo…having got to seen them since 2008 concert.If this isnt the greatest news ever i got in my life it ranks up there with the birth of my kid and winning the lottery ..lol hope i have $$ to go.
LOL. I take it you’re from Louisville, Tree_Spirit? ;)
Yes born and raised Kentuckian.I don’t live to far from downtown Louisville.I’m in tears..lol..I didn’t get to see them for the first time in 2008 and I was thankful to gotten my chance to get to.He got so a poor welcome when they play at The palace from fans.It was a dream come true to me .I have asocial anxiety disorder it’s hard for me to do big groups.But going to try again get go.
This is so WONDERFUL news….This beyond belief that Billy’s coming back here.He change life for better and help me.Ya a HUGE FAN…..Love this man..lol
They should do the same, but in the UK. DAMMIT.
I’m jumping up and down my mom ask me what’s wrong with me.I told her Pumpkins coming to Louisville..She like rolled her eyes lol :D
“it ranks up there with the birth of my kid and winning the lottery ..lol hope i have $$ to go.”
But…you won the lottery?
Yeah it’s not so much of a great news if you’re not even sure you have the money to go.
Not that I like to agree with jjb but…
:-)
dont buy potatoe chips and other crap, and you’ll save money for the concert.
hope someone tapes this one
No winning the lottery thing is a figure of speech ..I wish jjb.If I did I could help a whole lot of people if i did.
It going to be hard to come up with the money to go.Hopefully i will be able come up with it.I’m not complaining about the price at all it’s worth it.I’ll never be able to afford VIP or nothing like that.I’m considered right above the class of being poor..but i’m happy tho doesn’t matter.$60 dollars is a lot of money and I can’t go by myself.Heck $20 dollars is a lot to me.Dont take me wrong way i’m not complaining but it a LOT to me.Hopefully i can come up with it.I want see them badly.Never actually gotten to meet man changed my life so but.But one can have their dreams.That is all you do have.Glad he coming here tho..It made me smile :D
More dates just announced….
