 THE SMASHING PUMPKINS co-headline V Festival 2008. Having last toured Australia a decade ago and freshly reformed, THE SMASHING PUMPKINS remain the kings of elegiac, accomplished, ambitious alt-rock, with their best-selling albums “Siamese Dream” and “Mellon Collie and The Infinite Sadness” remaining the soundtracks for a generation.
