The Asheville residency concludes July 5 and will be followed by an 11-show run of sold-out shows at the historic Fillmore in San Francisco starting July 15, after which the group will return to Europe for 10 headlining and festival shows.

ZEITGEIST (Martha's Music/Reprise) is the band's much-anticipated sixth album and first of new material since 2000. It features the first single "Tarantula," now positioned at #2 on the Billboard Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart and #7 on the publication's Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart after arriving at radio only a few weeks ago. ZEITGEIST represents a powerful rebirth and reaffirmation of the Pumpkins by two of its key members, main singer-songwriter and guitarist Billy Corgan and drummer Jimmy Chamberlin. On the road, Billy and Jimmy have welcomed Jeff Schroeder (guitar) and Ginger Reyes
(bass) to the line-up, which is supported by keyboardist Lisa Harriton.

Look for the Pumpkins to perform songs from ZEITGEIST on the "Late Show With David Letterman" on both Monday, July 9 and Friday, July 13.
