ALTERNATIVE ROCK LEGENDS THE SMASHING PUMPKINS RETURN TO MANILA WITH THEIR GREATEST HITS THIS SEPTEMBER 2025

You simply cannot talk about 90s music and culture without bowing at the shrine and offering intense reverence for the body of work and unmistakable sonic contributions to the era of alternative rock without mentioning THE SMASHING PUMPKINS - truly one of the most successful and largest-selling artists worldwide. Led by prolific songwriting genius and renowned rock figurehead Billy Corgan, the band (which includes widely respected drummer Jimmy Chamberlain and wonderfully enigmatic guitarist James Iha…) and its music has endured more than three decades’ worth of trends and remains to be a fiercely driven musical force that simply cannot be replaced nor imitated.
It's really all rooted in the band’s music, as their singles have transcended from being smash hits on music charts decades ago to becoming anthems of the generations that would follow, lucky enough to witness their greatness first-hand: from early live favorites like the snarling hard rock of “I Am One” to explosive nihilistic singles like “Today,” “Disarm,” “Cherub Rock,” grandiose Grammy Award winners like “Tonight, Tonight,” “Bullet With Butterfly Wings,” “1979” and genre-defining offerings like “Ava Adore,” “Perfect,” “The Everlasting Gaze” and “Try, Try, Try” (to name more than a distinct few…), THE SMASHING PUMPKINS have, without a doubt, created the soundtrack for the lives of many music fans worldwide.
The band’s sound was like no other: driving rhythms, thickly layered guitar riffs that were juxtaposed between being beautifully melodic and densely dreary, the interplay of Corgan’s space-child vocals and angst-ridden screams – all brought together by his painfully honest lyricism – was hard to limit to the confines of traditional alternative, grunge, hard rock, new wave or even heavy metal and electronica. As evident with the progression of each album in the band’s extensive catalogue, the band undoubtedly remained a step ahead of their peers and always had the pulse of modern music within their arsenal, which is why they continue to release groundbreaking music to this day.
Though the band originally made its way to the Philippines in 2012, it was during a time when the band was admittedly navigating through shaky waters, with Corgan being the only founding member to perform. This time around, all three original members (considered by longtime fans to be the most authentic and powerful lineup…) have finally come together to perform at the Araneta Coliseum this September 29th, 2025, for one night only, in a show dubbed SMASHING PUMPKINS ‘ROCK INVASION 2025’ IN MANILA. Any loyal Filipino “Pumpkinhead” will tell you that THIS is the show Manila has been waiting for, and in true rock n’ roll fashion, might not happen again.
So serious alternative rock aficionados, as well as serious music fans in general – will be amiss to let this opportunity pass. Produced by PULP Live World, it’s an amazing musical experience that will celebrate both the legacy and relevance of a band that has influenced countless fans and musicians around the world.
