A celebration of The Smashing Pumpkins & the 30th anniversary of Mellon Collie & The Infinite Sadness.

The Smashing Pumpkins, an emblematic alternative rock band formed in Chicago in 1988, meld genres from shoegaze to heavy metal. Led by the enigmatic Billy Corgan, their sound is marked by intricate guitar layers and melancholic lyrics. Their magnum opus, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness (1995), is a sprawling double album that defined 90s rock. Its ambitious scope, combining baroque ballads and ferocious anthems, captures the zeitgeist of a generation grappling with disillusionment. The album’s critical acclaim and commercial success cemented The Smashing Pumpkins’ status as one of the most influential bands of their era.
