Formed in the early ’90s under the fiery guidance of the brilliant and charismatic Billy Corgan, the Pumpkins have defied all labels, crossing genres and decades with a chameleonic ability that few bands can match. From the dreamy, distorted sounds of masterpieces like “Siamese Dream” (1993) to the epic symphony of “Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness” (1995)—a double album that made music history—The Smashing Pumpkins have created a unique sonic universe: a powerful blend of grunge, shoegaze, heavy metal, psychedelia, and majestic orchestration.

“Bullet With Butterfly Wings,” “Tonight, Tonight,” “1979”—tracks filled with rebellious energy and melancholic poetry that speak to entire generations. Their songs are more than music—they’re emotional experiences, journeys into the light and dark corners of the human soul, driven by Corgan’s unmistakable voice and thunderous guitars that strike like electric storms.

In an era when rock seemed already defined, the Pumpkins rewrote the rules, becoming symbols of innovation and introspection. More than thirty years later, their legacy only continues to grow, captivating and inspiring fans worldwide. Their concerts are pure sonic catharsis: immersive shows of light and sound that take the audience on a journey through a glorious past and a future still being written.

The Smashing Pumpkins are not just a band—they are a living legend.
