The Smashing Pumpkins

In November 2024, when The Smashing Pumpkins graced the Explanada Parque de la Exposición in Lima, they were riding the wave of their vibrant career revival. This performance came after the release of their highly anticipated album, "Cyr," in 2020, and a plethora of singles that showcased their evolution while nodding to their iconic 90s sound. Interestingly, this wasn’t their first trip to Lima; they had previously visited twice, each time igniting a nostalgic energy among fans as they journeyed through beloved tracks. The concert was a testament to their enduring legacy, blending new material with classic hits. It’s fascinating how, over the years, the Pumpkins have not only adapted to the changing music landscape but have also continued to evoke that familiar rush of emotion tied to their early work, connecting generations of fans in the process. Did anyone really think they’d ever fade?
