Activision has announced that The Smashing Pumpkins will debut their new single G.L.O.W. exclusively in Guitar Hero World Tour.

This marks the first time a band has recorded a new song exclusively for the franchise which will be released afterwards, giving Guitar Hero fans exclusive access to Smashing Pumpkins music before anyone else.

The new track, bundled with two other Smashing Pumpkins hits, 1979 and The Everlasting Gaze, will be available post-launch of the game as a three-song downloaded content pack.

Additionally, on-disc with the release of Guitar Hero World Tour this autumn, The Smashing Pumpkins' singer, songwriter and lead guitarist Billy Corgan will appear as an in-game character and will bring with him Today, the band's smash hit from their pivotal 1993 album Siamese Dream.
