American alternative rock band Smashing Pumpkins have unveiled their latest single “Solara”, the first track in 18 years to feature original members James Iha and Jimmy Chamberlain on guitar and drums respectively.

The band have seen many line-up changes over the years, with Chamberlain in particular leaving the group on three separate occasions, and then agreeing to stay on as a touring member only before beginning to contribute to the recording process again.

James Iha left the band in 2000 during the band’s first official split, and has spent the last 18 years working as a producer, label owner and studio runner, as well as contributing to groups such as A Perfect Circle and Tinted Windows.

Alongside the new track, Smashing Pumpkins’ fans have been treated to a UK tour date, as part of the group’s ‘Shiny and Oh So Bright’ tour. The tour so far only has one UK date at London’s SSE arena, and focusses on America and Canada aside from one date in Italy.

Tickets for the London date on the 16th of October go on sale at 9AM June 22nd, and can be purchased here.
