Smashing Pumpkins have announced a UK date in addition to their August appearances at the Reading and Leeds festivals.

The group will perform the one-off show – their first in the UK since 2000 - at London’s Shepherds Bush Empire on June 19.

Better hurry for your chance of a rare sighting of his baldiness – tickets are limited to just two per person and go on sale at 9am tomorrow (June 1), at £37.50 a pop.

Smashing Pumpkins release their comeback album Zeitgeist on July 7.

fucking outrageous ticket price - which will be closer to 45 after booking fees I bet, was in two minds about going but that settles it, screw them.

Blimey

It had better be good. If I don't manage to get tickets, it will be some consolation that I'm £45 richer than I would have been.

hmm...i hate american price structure

ive seen a lot of US bands in the past few weeks charging the same amount in pounds as they do in Dollars in the states....
Im pretty sure if pumpkins tried to sell tickets for $80 dollars in the states they would be laughed out of town...

NOTE TO US BANDS: if you sell your shirts and cd's for $10 dollars in the US don't try and sell them to me for £15 quid over here....

case in point- i saw andrew bird at the bush hall- his cds were £15 each...i ordered them off his website and had the postage added, and i could get 4 albums for a little more than they wanted to pay for one- it doesnt make sense......Especially at london shows that are 'sole shows'...if people have to travel it can make the show stupidly expensive.....
