Following their successful 2018 arena tour, The Smashing Pumpkins are heading back on the road this summer with Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds.

The alt-rockers behind ‘90s-era hits “1979” and “Tonight,” Tonight” and the former Oasis leader will visit Ameris Bank Amphitheatre (formerly Verizon Amphitheatre) in Alpharetta at 7 p.m. Aug. 21. They will also be joined by California alt-punk rockers AFI.
