Smashing Pumpkins at The Wiltern

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.

Outstanding !!

I had seen them in 1996 and it was terrible. The sound was distorted and the stage was all black with no lights. Last night couldn’t have been better or more different. The sound level was perfect, the band was very tight, and the setlist impeccable. Bravo Corgan, Iha, and Chamberlain!!! ... Read more
