Original members Billy Corgan, Jeff Iha, and Jimmy Chamberlin, as well as Jeff Schroeder, will be joined by bassist Jack Bates.
Fans will know Bates as the son of Joy Division/New Order bassist Peter Hook. He also tours with his father’s band, The Light, and will be on the road with them in the months leading up to the Smashing Pumpkins tour. He previously joined The Smashing Pumpkins on a 2015 tour.
