Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan is currently on tour, performing career-spanning sets for audiences around Europe. The alt-rock veteran’s sets feature material from his 2017 solo album Ogilala, as well as many Smashing Pumpkins songs, and even a few tracks from his supergroup Zwan. It’s a dream come true for any Corgan fan!
Corgan’s shows are divided into two sets; he performs solo songs in the first, and Smashing Pumpkins songs in the second. He changes up his setlists frequently—when you have decades worth of music, why not?—but performs 25 songs on average!
