The Smashing Pumpkins are releasing the final act of a three-part album, ATUM, on May 5. Now they have shared a new song from it, “Spellbinding,” and announced some The World is a Vampire tour. Interpol, Stone Temple Pilots, and Rival Sons will be the openers, depending on the date. Check out “Spellbinding” and the tour dates below.

Frontman Billy Corgan had this to say about the tour in a press release: “I grew up in a world where I needed to know bands like Siouxsie and the Banshees and The Cure existed, it meant there was a place for people like me to hang out and belong. That’s what The World is a Vampire is about. Bringing back that sense of community. If you don’t fit in, you belong here. It’s about having a shared experience and respecting others, but ultimately having fun. A true alternative festival, where all the self-proclaimed weirdos and outsiders of the world can get together and have a party.”

ATUM is a 33-song three-act rock opera, with each act containing 11 songs. Corgan has been premiering a new song from the album on his podcast Thirty-Three with William Patrick Corgan. Act three will be released along with a special edition box set featuring all 33 album tracks plus 10 additional unreleased songs. Previously we posted the album’s first single, “Beguiled.”
