As part of Rock in Roma, the legendary band led by Billy Corgan, THE SMASHING PUMPKINS, will perform on August 1, 2025, at the Capannelle Hippodrome. They will play their greatest hits and present their latest album, “Aghori Mhori Mei”, released earlier this year. This is a unique opportunity to experience the electrifying energy and melancholic poetry of one of the most iconic bands in alternative rock. Tickets will be available starting Friday, December 20, 2024, at 10:00 AM on rockinroma.com, ticketone.it, and ticketmaster.it. Born in the early ’90s under the fiery leadership of the brilliant and charismatic Billy Corgan, the Pumpkins have defied labels, crossing genres and decades with a chameleon-like ability that few bands can match. From the distorted and dreamy sounds of masterpieces like “Siamese Dream” (1993) to the epic symphony of “Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness” (1995)—a double album that made music history—The Smashing Pumpkins have crafted a unique sonic universe: a captivating mix of grunge, shoegaze, heavy metal, psychedelia, and majestic orchestrations. “Bullet With Butterfly Wings,” “Tonight, Tonight,” “1979”—songs infused with rebellious energy and melancholic poetry that resonate with entire generations. Their music is more than just sound; it’s an emotional journey, a dive into the light and dark sides of the human soul, driven by Corgan’s unmistakable voice and thunderous guitars that rage like electric storms. In an era where rock seemed defined, the Pumpkins broke the mold, becoming symbols of innovation and introspection. Over thirty years later, their legend continues to grow, inspiring and mesmerizing audiences worldwide. Their concerts are pure sonic catharsis: immersive light and sound shows that transport spectators on a journey through their glorious past and an unwritten future. The Smashing Pumpkins are more than a band; they are a living legend.
