Smashing Pumpkins Perform Zero Live in Milwaukee
In the thrilling whirlwind of their career, The Smashing Pumpkins performed “Zero” live at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee on October 30, 2022, during their “Rock Invasion 2” tour. Just before this memorable performance, they celebrated the release of “Cyr,” their eleventh studio album, which came out in November 2020. This album marked a pivotal moment, showcasing a move toward a more electronic sound, diverging from their grunge roots. An interesting tidbit? During the “Rock Invasion 2” tour, the Pumpkins revisited their iconic hits while also highlighting new material, creating a thrilling blend of nostalgia and fresh energy. Fans in the audience reveled in the opportunity to hear “Zero” live, a track from their landmark 1995 album, “Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.” The return of Billy Corgan and the crew to the stage, decades later, beautifully encapsulated the band's evolution while keeping the spirit of their music alive.
