Having last toured Australia a decade ago and freshly reformed, The Smashing Pumpkins remain the kings of elegiac, accomplished, ambitious alt-rock, with their best-selling albums Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie and The Infinite Sadness remaining the soundtracks for a generation.
After some years pursuing other musical paths, founder members Billy Corgan and James Chamberlain burst back onto the scene with last year’s Top 10 album Zeitgeist. Joined on the road by Jeff Schroeder (guitar), Ginger Reyes (bass) and Lisa Harriton (keyboards) The Smashing Pumpkins have performed the world over with true vigour, described by the Los Angeles Times as an “enveloping epic force” (Los Angeles Times).
With a stunning light show and a set bursting with manic intensity, The Smashing Pumpkins will not disappoint.
