Expanding an already jam-packed schedule, iconic two-time Grammy Award-winning rock band The Smashing Pumpkins are touring North America this year and stop at BleauLive Theater at Fontainebleau Las Vegas on Friday, Sept. 27. The show kicks off at 8 p.m., and PVRIS is the opening act.
The Smashing Pumpkins continue firing on all cylinders live. During 2023, they headlined and curated their “The World Is a Vampire Tour” joined by Stone Temple Pilots and Rival Sons, while 2022 saw them canvas North America on “The Spirits on Fire Tour” alongside Jane’s Addiction.
A spectacle of eye-catching stage production and a setlist sequenced like a film with moments of heavy guitar catharsis and transcendent melodic singalongs, their shows have consistently garnered widespread critical applause.
NME said, “It’s indisputable that the band are responsible for many of the ’90s’s best rock songs, and this is as good as you’re going to hear them.” The Patriot Ledge said, “[The] Smashing Pumpkins proved they are still one of America’s most interesting – sometimes befuddling, but never boring – musical groups.”
And Miami New Times said, “The band took the audience back in time to when alternative music was the mainstream and the idea of browsing on your phone during a fantastic concert was bad sci-fi satire.”
Last year, The Smashing Pumpkins completed the three-act trilogy “ATUM,” releasing the 33-track project in its entirety. Among many highlights, it boasted “Beguiled,” which reached #6 at Active Rock and #12 at Alternative Radio Charts. “Spellbinding” emerged as the top most-added at Alternative Rock.
Rolling Stone said, “ ‘ATUM’ is clearly meant to be the kind of record that requires your full attention, and ‘Act Three’ makes for a nicely trippy conclusion to the whole project, as well as an intriguing listening experience in and of itself.” NME said, “This sci-fi-inspired epic is ambitious and complex.”
The Smashing Pumpkins are currently in the studio recording the follow-up to “ATUM” as they prepare to release new music this year.
