NINE SHOWS AT THE ORANGE PEEL JUNE 23 - JULY 5​

Monday May 14th - AC Entertainment and The Orange Peel are proud to announce that alt-rock legends THE SMASHING PUMPKINS will perform a nine-show residency June 23, 24, 26, 27, 29, 30, and July 2, 3 and 5 at THE ORANGE PEEL in Asheville, NC.
In anticipation of the release of ZEITGEIST, their sixth album and first of new material since 2000, The Smashing Pumpkins announced this special and intimate residency, in addition to eight nights at the legendary Fillmore in San Francisco. The band's set lists will vary from night to night to include songs from Zeitgeist, Pumpkins' classics, retooled songs that didn’t make it onto the new disc, and even tunes written the day of the show. Fans get the unique opportunity to see the Pumpkins inside the process of impromptu creation and taking chances in the hope of taking fans, and their music, to new places. Fans are invited to capture the concerts with audio and video recorders.

that's really strange

 

No shit...and tix are cheap at that. I don't get it.

 

Is this for real? Cause that is awesome if it is and extreamly strange at that. I love them.

 

I am guessing they couldn't pull this off in bigger market as they just aren't as popular as they used to be

 

I got them email too.

 

it's great to see major acts pass by chapel hill and pick asheville instead.. being someone older who goes to see indie type bands.. you don't get all the college age punks in asheville like in chapel hill..ya , you do get the hippies.. but they're not nearly as aggressively annoying as college kids at a concert .. and there's actually other people who attend over the age of 30

congrats to the orange peel!

 

interesting. is this a tune up type deal or maybe serving some alternate purpose (like capturing footage for other uses).

 

Who would go see the Pumpkins nine times in a row?

 

I think it's more like 9000 people, 1000 at a time.

Or 18000 peeps 2000 at a time. Not sure how big the orange peel is, but it's pretty damn small.
