The Smashing Pumpkins will be bringing their ‘World is a Vampire’ festival to Australia in April. The organisers have announced the addition of a number of dates to the tour and changes to some venues.
The festival boasts some very special guests including alt-rock legends, Jane’s Addiction and killer Aussie rock from Amyl & The Sniffers, RedHook (at 3 concerts in Qld) and Battlesnake.
