The tour kicks off May 2 in San Antonio, Texas, and comes to a close May 28 in Columbus, Ohio. Tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. local time.
Smashing Pumpkins were originally to launch Rock Invasion 2 in April 2020 but canceled the tour due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The band said in March 2020 that the tour would feature a set of heavier rock songs that span their entire catalog.
"It's been a good while since we've played a straight up, bare knuckles rock and roll show; one that avoids little in the way of raw power. So note: this tour won't be for those faint of heart, and will certainly echo the dynamic modes in which we built our live reputation," frontman Billy Corgan said.
Smashing Pumpkins released their 11th studio album, Cyr, in November 2020.
