The Smashing Pumpkins

In June 2024, when The Smashing Pumpkins rocked the Parkbühne Wuhlheide in Berlin, they were deep into the promotion of their latest album, *ATUM*. This ambitious three-part rock opera, which started rolling out in 2022, showcased the band’s relentless evolution while still echoing their iconic sound. What’s fascinating is this live performance of "Tonight, Tonight" not only highlighted the nostalgia of their early hits but also seated the audience in a powerful moment of musical connection. Fans had been waiting through the years for more of that signature Billy Corgan lyricism, and at this concert, they got to witness it firsthand, bringing an almost cinematic feel to the venue. The Smashing Pumpkins’ ability to blend past and present is what makes their live performances such emotional experiences—there’s always a new layer to discover in songs that’ve been loved for decades. It’s this start-and-stop journey through their history that keeps fans coming back for more.
