The Smashing Pumpkins are bringing their one-of-a-kind music and wrestling festival to Australia for the first time.

The festival, named The World Is A Vampire, will tour ten cities across Australia this April, featuring a stacked lineup including Jane’s Addiction and Melbourne’s very own Amyl & The Sniffers (as well as The Smashing Pumpkins themselves).

Elsewhere on the lineup are Sydney rock outfits RedHook and Battlesnake, and each show will also feature professional wrestling matches between Billy Corgan’s NWA (National Wrestling Alliance) and the WAOA (Wrestling Alliance of Australia).

With the tour set to hit locations in New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria and South Australia, tickets for the entire tour go on sale at 9 am (local time) this Friday, February 3. In the meantime, pre-sale is currently open over at One World Entertainment.
