Why see Smashing Pumpkins?
the Smashing Pumpkins North America tour!
The Smashing Pumpkins are back this summer with their North America tour. Billy Corgan's Grammy-awarded rock band created some of the most iconic tracks of the 90s, fashioning an amalgam of progressive rock, heavy metal, goth rock, psychedelia, and dream pop. Many line-up changes later, don't miss them live in 2024 as they take to the road!
Who Are The Smashing Pumpkins?
Of all the major alternative rock bands of the early '90s, the Smashing Pumpkins were the group least influenced by traditional underground rock. Lead guitarist/songwriter Billy Corgan fashioned an amalgam of progressive rock, heavy metal, goth rock, psychedelia, and dream pop, creating a layered, powerful sound driven by swirling, distorted guitars. Corgan was wise enough to exploit his angst-ridden lyrics, yet he never shied away from rock star posturing, even if he did cloak it in allegedly ironic gestures. In fact, the Smashing Pumpkins became the model for alternative rock success - Nirvana was too destructive and Pearl Jam shunned success.

Smashing Pumpkins Delivers
Wow, what an amazing show on August 28th at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento. The show time clocked in at over 3 hours at about 3 hours 15 minutes. This is a pretty remarkable amount of time for a band to play. They played all the great songs you would expect, with extreme effort and spot on sound. The stage set ups (plural), were amazing and the guitar solos by Billy Corgan were simply brilliant. You often forget how good of a guitar player he is because he does so much else, but he's one of the best and this show will make you a believer. Bravo Smashing Pumpkins, I just saw one of the best concerts of my life after being very disappointed in the 1996 concerts. If you have the opportunity, take it and spend your night watching this amazing band at their peak (yes, I said it), you will not be let down. Enjoy Pumpkins fans, your patience and perseverance will be greatly rewarded by this show. ... Read more
Smashing Pumpkins fan since Gish
WHY CAN'T I GIVE THEM 10 STARS!!???
Saw the guys play at the Ampitheatre in Chula Vista last night. Been feeling kinda down lately with work stress. That's all fixed now! After the first 2 songs, I could have ridden a happiness-high for about a month. However after 20 songs back-to-back with no breaks, now my mind is delirious! I attended alone with my husband because he didn't want to pay the ticket price. I'll be dragging him next tour for sure. Why the heck I waited 33 years to see them live is beyond me. I loved how they did different versions of so many songs too! Nice venue, food and drinks were pricey but expected. I'll definitely come back to this ampitheatre for future concerts. ... Read more

Smashing my senses
I have been a fan since the mid 90s, that was by far the absolute best show I’ve
ever seen. It was so appealing to my senses. The backdrop videos were
mesmerizing, but nothing like the music, it drew me in from the first note, till the
very last. I even enjoyed the “not so popular songs†because the band was
perfectly spot on. After every song, I found myself saying “Oh myâ€. Totally
amazing, would love to follow the tour to all 36 venues ... Read more
