London’s alternative music scene is about to get a serious shake-up. The Smashing Pumpkins have announced their UK headline Aghori Tour dates for summer 2025, with a massive show at Gunnersbury Park on August 10. The lineup gets even more exciting with special guests Skunk Anansie and White Lies, making this a must-attend event for rock and indie lovers alike.
A Legendary Band Returns to the UK
Few bands have shaped alternative rock like The Smashing Pumpkins. Since their rise in Chicago in 1988, they’ve redefined the genre, blending rock, shoegaze, metal, and psychedelia into a signature sound. With over 30 million album sales and a string of GRAMMY and MTV VMA wins, their impact on music is undeniable.
Billy Corgan, James Iha, and Jimmy Chamberlin remain at the heart of the band, delivering unmatched live performances. Fans in London, Halifax, Scarborough, and Colchester will witness their return as they bring Aghori Mhori Mei (2024) to life, a record that harks back to their raw, guitar-driven energy.
A Lineup Packed with Rock Royalty
The Smashing Pumpkins’ Gunnersbury Park show on August 10 is set to be an unmissable summer highlight. London’s date features Skunk Anansie, one of the UK’s most electrifying rock acts, known for hits like Weak and Hedonism.
