Legendary alternative rock band The Smashing Pumpkins are set to bring their Aghori Tour to the UK this summer, performing at four iconic venues in August. With special guests Skunk Anansie and White Lies joining on select dates, this series of headline shows promises to be an unmissable experience for fans of era-defining alternative music.

UK Tour Dates

10 August – London, Gunnersbury Park (w/ Skunk Anansie & White Lies)

12 August – TK Maxx Presents Live at The Piece Hall, Halifax (w/ White Lies)

13 August – TK Maxx Presents Scarborough Open Air Theatre (w/ White Lies)

14 August – Colchester Castle Summer Series (w/ Skunk Anansie / White Lies)

Tickets go on sale at 10am on Friday, 14 February via Ticketmaster.

Since their formation in Chicago in 1988, The Smashing Pumpkins have remained one of the most influential and pioneering bands in alternative music, blending elements of rock, pop, shoegaze, metal, goth, psychedelia, and electronica into their unique sound. With over 30 million album sales, two GRAMMY® Awards, and a catalogue that includes classics like Siamese Dream (1993) and Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness (1995), their impact on music is undeniable.

The band’s latest album, Aghori Mhori Mei (2024), marks a return to their signature guitar-driven sound and will take centre stage in these upcoming live shows. Known for their explosive performances, Billy Corgan, James Iha, and Jimmy Chamberlin will deliver a career-spanning setlist filled with timeless anthems and deep cuts.

Joining them on select dates are British rock icons Skunk Anansie, whose electrifying stage presence and politically charged lyrics have made them one of the UK’s most vital live acts, and post-punk indie favourites White Lies, who return to the capital for a special summer performance.

London’s Gunnersbury Park has become a hotspot for major outdoor shows, previously hosting KoRn, PJ Harvey, and Peggy Gou. This summer, it will be the setting for one of the biggest alternative rock events of the year.

Don’t miss the chance to witness The Smashing Pumpkins live – tickets are expected to sell fast.

Get yours from 10am on Friday, 14 February via Ticketmaster.
