While much of the music from the early 1990s grunge movement centered around Seattle, one of the most important bands of that decade and that movement hailed from Chicago. That band is The Smashing Pumpkins. After recording music from ‘88 to ‘00, The Smashing Pumpkins hung up their hats and called it to day, but in ‘06, the group announced that they were reforming and have since continued to parcel out new music and play live shows. Although lead singer, guitarist and songwriter Billy Corgan remains the only original member of the band, Smashing Pumpkins concert tickets still give you access to see one of the best singers and songsmiths of the past 20 years play live.

The Smashing Pumpkins first experienced a taste of success with their early releases “Gish” and “Lull,” and the band was a popular supporting act for Jane’s Addiction and the Red Hot Chili Peppers . But it was not until their ‘93 bestselling smash “Siamese Dream” that the band really became enmeshed in the early 1990s grunge movement as both a commercial and critical success. “Siamese Dream” went on to sell more than four million copies across the country, thanks in large part to singles “Cherub Rock” and “Today.” In ‘95, The Smashing Pumpkins released what many will consider their definitive album, “Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness,” an epic double disc set that contained some of their best songs ever, including “Tonight, Tonight,” “Bullet With Butterfly Wings,” “1979” and “Zero.” After that, the band started being compared to Pearl Jam, something that even Corgan mentioned as an indication of their level of success.
