Smashing Pumpkins Taking Tea House Experience On Tour

As part of the Smashing Pumpkins’ “Madame Zuzu’s Backstage Experience,” VIP fans will get to enjoy a special three-song performance and Q&A backstage, complete with teas and snacks from Billy Corgan’s tea house. VIP packages for U.S. headlines dates are on sale now.

In addition to the backstage tea house, the “Backstage Experience” also comes with a reserved premium seat ticket, on site VIP concierge, an exclusive autographed tour poster, an exclusive Smashing Pumpkins tour passport and a commemorative 3D laminate. Priced at $399, the VIP package takes its name from Madame Zuzu’s tea house, which Corgan opened last fall in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park.
