The Smashing Pumpkins

In June 2013, The Smashing Pumpkins took to the iconic Glastonbury stage, serving up a live rendition of their anthemic hit “Tonight, Tonight.” At that time, the band was in a fascinating phase of their evolution, having just released their album *Oceania* the previous year. This record marked a fresh chapter, blending their trademark alt-rock with a more expansive sound, reflecting a sense of rejuvenation within the band. What’s particularly captivating is how *Oceania* was part of a larger project called *Oceania: Live in Chicago*, suggesting that they were really leaning into their live performance energy. Additionally, this Glastonbury performance was a testament to their staying power in the music world, drawing both longtime fans and newer audiences. You could feel the weight of their legacy—all those years of innovation and connection manifested in the electric atmosphere of the festival. And honestly, who wouldn't get goosebumps hearing that soaring chorus live in such a storied venue?
