The Smashing Pumpkins

On June 10, 2019, The Smashing Pumpkins delivered a powerful live performance at Lotto Arena in Antwerp, Belgium, showcasing their remarkable resilience after more than three decades in the industry. At this point in their career, the band had recently released their album "Shiny and Oh So Bright, Vol. 1 / LP: No Past. No Future. No Sun." in late 2018, marking their first studio album since reuniting original members Billy Corgan, James Iha, and Jimmy Chamberlin. This album was significant, as it signified a return to their iconic sound while also experimenting with fresh ideas. The June concert featured beloved tracks like "Siva" and "Zero," highlighting their enduring appeal. Plus, it’s worth noting that this era of The Smashing Pumpkins was characterized by a shift back to a more raw, authentic rock feel, embodying the band’s roots while embracing their evolution—proving they’re not just relics of the '90s but a living, breathing force in music today.
