About The Smashing Pumpkins: The Rats In A Cage Tour

Expect a set built for longtime followers of alternative rock's more melancholic songwriters, with the band drawing on decades of material that swings between distorted guitar walls and quieter, string-laced moments. Crowds for this kind of show tend to skew toward those who followed the band through the nineties and have stuck around since, alongside younger listeners who found the catalogue later.

Where to stay nearby

Boston itself is the obvious base, sitting just a kilometre from the venue and offering by far the widest choice of hotels, from budget to upscale, all within easy reach on foot or by a short cab ride. Cambridge, across the river, makes a quieter alternative with a smaller but solid range of hotels and good transport links back into the city. Brookline has the fewest options of the three but suits those wanting a residential feel with a straightforward drive or transit trip to TD Garden. Given the early Friday start, it's worth allowing extra time to get across town before the show, particularly if travelling in from Cambridge or Brookline during the afternoon commute.
