The Smashing Pumpkins’ legendary alternative rock returns to Abu Dhabi.

 

The Smashing Pumpkins announce tour “Rock Invasion 2025”, first ever UAE show on 9 October – Etihad Arena, Yas Island, Abu Dhabi. When the Smashing Pumpkins first emerged out of Chicago, their sound was different, iconoclastic, and wholly new – and it still is today. As a result, they’ve sold more than 30 million albums worldwide and collected two Grammy Awards, seven MTV VMAs, and an American Music Award.

The band – Billy Corgan, James Iha, and Jimmy Chamberlin – continues to spin together rock, pop, shoegaze, metal, goth, psychedelia, and electronic into a kaleidoscope of saccharine melodies, fuzzy distortion, bombastic orchestration, incendiary fretwork, eloquent songcraft, and unshakable hooks.

The Smashing Pumpkins have cemented their place in rock history. Rock Invasion 2025 will mark the band’s first full-scale tour of Asia in over a decade, offering a rare chance for fans to experience their explosive live performance up close.

Don’t miss their rare live show in Abu Dhabi.
