One of the most influential alternative rock bands of all time is heading back to the UK. The Smashing Pumpkins have announced their UK headline Aghori Tour, hitting London, Halifax, Scarborough, and Colchester in August 2025.
With a massive lineup featuring Skunk Anansie (London & Colchester only) and White Lies, this promises to be one of the biggest live music moments of the summer.
A Legacy That Redefined Alternative Rock
Since emerging in 1988, The Smashing Pumpkins have carved out a timeless legacy. With a sound that fuses grunge, shoegaze, metal, and psychedelia, they’ve sold over 30 million albums worldwide.
Their catalogue includes Siamese Dream (1993), Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness (1995), and their recent Aghori Mhori Mei (2024)—a return to their guitar-driven roots.
Billy Corgan, James Iha, and Jimmy Chamberlin continue to deliver high-energy, electrifying live performances, making this tour an essential experience for longtime fans and new listeners alike.
