When Will the Star Ceremonies Happen?
As of July 2026, no specific ceremony dates have been scheduled for the Class of 2027.

According to Consequence, the Smashing Pumpkins are set to embark on a fall North American tour celebrating the 30th anniversary of their album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.

Frequently Asked Questions
How are Hollywood Walk of Fame stars selected?
Honorees are chosen by the Walk of Fame Selection Committee of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. The committee reviews hundreds of public nominations each year. For the Class of 2027, nominees were considered at a meeting on May 15, 2026, and the final list was ratified by the Chamber’s Board of Directors on July 22, 2026.
Do celebrities have to pay for their Walk of Fame star?
While the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce administers the Walk of Fame, the star, the ceremony, and the ongoing maintenance are funded by a sponsor, which is typically the honoree’s studio, network, record label, or a fan club. The honoree must also agree to attend the dedication ceremony in person.
Where exactly on the Walk of Fame will these stars be placed?
The exact location for each new star is not determined at the time of selection. Specific addresses along Hollywood Boulevard are assigned later, closer to the scheduling of each individual dedication ceremony. The locations are announced along with the ceremony date.
Has the Smashing Pumpkins' star been scheduled?
No. As with all members of the Class of 2027, no ceremony dates have been set as of July 2026. The band and its management have up to two years to schedule the event. The Smashing Pumpkins are currently scheduled to embark on a North American tour in fall 2026.
