Smashing Pumpkins: ‘90s grunge icons set to perform short tour in the UK in 2025 - dates and tickets

• ‘90s grunge legends Smashing Pumpkins have announced four tour dates for 2025.
• The show brings together some of the original line-up with Billy Corgan, including James Iha and Jimmy Chamberlain.
• The show is set to feature Skunk Anansie, White Lies and more to be announced.

Remember how Britpop was a call-to-arms against the wave of grunge music permeating the British airwaves back in the ‘90s?

Well, while many are enjoying the Cool Britannia nostalgia buzz brought on by Oasis’ upcoming reunion shows, those of us with holes in our jeans and adjourned in flannel are happy to find out that the Smashing Pumpkins have announced a short tour of the UK in 2025.

The band, known for their genre-defining works including Siamese Dream and Melon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, are back to their original line up; two thirds anyway, with Billy Corgan once again joined by guitarist James Iha and drummer Jimmy Chamberlin.

The show is also set to feature another nostalgic act from the world of ‘90s rock, in the form of Skunk Anansie, while White Lies have also been confirmed with more promises to follow in due course.
