Alternative rockers Smashing Pumpkins have confirmed details of their 20th anniversary shows.

The band will play in Hammond, Indiana at The Horseshoe Casino next month, followed by a string of dates in August and November.

They've revealed the jaunt will visit Los Angeles, New York and Chicago, but haven't announced venues and dates.

Billy Corgan's band will not be promoting the box set release of their debut album Gish until 2009.

Smashing Pumpkins formed in Chicago in 1988 and have released seven studio albums during their career. Their hits include 'Tonight, Tonight', 'Ava Adore' and '1979'.
