Concert by The Smashing Pumpkins performing on their The Rats in a Cage Tour at the Moody Center.
The Smashing Pumpkins are playing the Moody Center on Sunday, October 25, 2026. It's part of their The Rats in a Cage Tour, and they're the only act on the bill that night.
For anyone who knows the band, the tour title points straight to one of their most recognizable songs. It's a track from Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, the double album that defined their mid-nineties sound with its heavy guitars and sprawling arrangements. That record is a good place to start if you're getting caught up before the show.
Since they're the sole feature, the whole night belongs to them. You'll get the full band on stage, and the set will be built around their own catalog. If you've followed them since the early days, you know they've gone through several lineup changes over the years, but the core sound—the loud-quiet-loud dynamics and the distorted guitar work—remains the same.
