Fans had multiple guesses, including a box set or perhaps new music.

This year was supposed to be a somewhat active one for Billy Corgan and company. They were supposed to do a quick run of the southeast on their Rock Invasion 2 tour and open for Guns N’ Roses on select stadium dates. But that whole COVID thing got in the way of their well-laid plans.

Could this be the release of a new single, the rollout several singles, an album or reissues? Check back in a few weeks to find out what their plan is. But, it should be noted that Billy Corgan spoke of a Pumpkins album as recently as January, saying it was “pretty different” from what the band did, for what it’s worth.

The kinda, sorta reunion of Smashing Pumpkins’ original lineup began in 2018. The group released Shiny and Oh So Bright Vol. 1 / LP: No Past. No Future. No Sun in 2018.
