Recently, Grand Casino Arena in St. Paul, Minnesota, announced that Journey would be bringing their Final Frontier tour to the venue. Now, another concert has been added for October.

The Smashing Pumpkins are bringing their ambitious new Rats In A Cage Tour to Minnesota this fall, with a stop at Grand Casino Arena in Saint Paul on Tuesday, October 13, 2026. Doors open at 7 p.m., and the show starts at 8 p.m.

The tour is one of the most ambitious live productions the GRAMMY Award-winning rock band has ever mounted. The show features two distinct sets: one dedicated entirely to the 30th anniversary of their landmark 1995 RIAA Diamond-certified album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, and a second set spanning nearly four decades of hits, deep cuts, and fan favorites.

Tickets go on sale through Ticketmaster on Thursday, May 21, at 10 a.m. As you can see below, this show is another addition to what is already an impressive concert lineup at Grand Casino.
