'If All Goes Wrong' will screen for one day only on November 6

A documentary filmed during Smashing Pumpkins’ 2007 residencies is set to get a release in movie theatres across the US next month.

‘If All Goes Wrong’ was shot when the band performed over 19 nights in Asheville, NC and San Francisco, CA last year and features interviews with the band’s own Billy Corgan, musicians such as The Who’s Pete Townshend and fans.

The movie will be shown in movie theatres for one day only on November 6 in 40 cities across the US, and will be released five days later on DVD. The DVD will include six new songs, recorded at the San Francisco shows.

As previously reported, the band will embark on a 20th Anniversary Tour, which will kick off a few days after they perform at the Neil Young Bridge School Benefit in California.

They will be playing a unique one-off set in every city and in the cities where they play two shows, fans who choose to go both nights will get different material – with one set called 'Black Sunshine' and the other 'White Crosses'.

The dates are:

Mountain View, CA Shoreline Amphitheatre (Bridge School Benefit) (October 26)

Wanna see it, very good band to say the least. I dont wanna over-praise them, but compared to bands nowadays, they are Queen.
