Tickets go on general sale at 10am on Friday (14.02.25) via www.ticketmaster.co.uk.
Other acts playing West London's Gunnersbury Park this summer include Khruangbin, The Libertines, PAWSA and Martin Garrix.
The 'Tonight, Tonight' band are also set to play Halifax's Live At The Piece Hall concert series on August 12, and Scarborough on August 13.
Meanwhile, frontman Billy Corgan previously admitted he doesn't feel obliged to play the group's greatest hits.
He told Kerrang!: “I don't play any songs I don't want to play. I don't care if they're a classic or not.
“If I don't want to play it, I just don't play it. I don't put that on the audience like, ‘Well, I've got to play this one for you.’ I think that's kind of cheese.”
The 57-year-old musician believes playing stuff fans aren't familiar with keeps things "Interesting" for them as well.
He explained: “Here’s the best way I would say it: the best show for me would be, you're a fan that really is mostly focused on the older music.
“You come and you hear those songs you think, ‘Wow, those sound great, band sounds great. The voice is still there.’ You feel good about your decision to come to the show.
“But then you might hear five, six, seven other songs, and you find yourself going, ‘I don't know this one,’ so you look up one, and go, ‘Oh, that was a deep cut from 1996. I didn't know that one. It was some B-side. That's interesting.’
“And then someone making the same discovery about your new stuff, but thinking it was old. I'm not talking about causing confusion. I'm talking about having the person be curious about that.”
Billy would never want to be a heritage act.
He added: “It comes from a good thing, which is that people really love your music, you know what I mean? It's not a bad thing that they want to hear songs that they love. But you can't live in the past. It's the death of any artist.”
