The Smashing Pumpkins

In June 2019, when The Smashing Pumpkins performed at the Rock AM Ring Festival in Nürburg, they were in a fascinating stage of their career. Just a year earlier, in 2018, they released *Shiny and Oh So Bright, Vol. 1 / LP: No Past. No Future. No Sun.*, marking a significant return to their roots with original members Billy Corgan, James Iha, and Jimmy Chamberlin. This album was received with much anticipation and nostalgia, underscoring the band’s ability to evolve while still embracing their iconic sound. Interestingly, this festival performance came during their *Shiny and Oh So Bright* tour, where fans were treated to a mix of classic hits and fresh material, showcasing their enduring appeal. The atmosphere at such festivals truly highlights the band's unique ability to connect with both long-time supporters and new listeners, don’t you think? It’s a testament to their resilience and charisma as performers.
