In 2018 The Smashing Pumpkins unveiled SHINY AND OH SO BRIGHT, VOL. 1 / LP: NO PAST. NO FUTURE. NO SUN. and launched the immensely successful Shiny And Oh So Bright Tour, which packed out arenas. Maintaining this momentum, the band released their eleventh full-length double album CYR (2020), representing yet another evolution, and more recently, ATUM (2023), the sequel to 1995’s Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness and 2000’s Machina/Machine Of God. The band’s 2024 album, Aghori Mhori Mei, written in the immediate aftermath of ATUM, saw a return to form for original members frontman Billy Corgan, drummer Jimmy Chamberlin – and for the first time since departing the group in 2000 – lead guitarist James Iha, and harkens back to the band’s early canon; where guitars, bass, drums, and spiking vocals ruled. Fans will be able to watch it all come to life when The Smashing Pumpkins take to the stage at Gunnersbury Park this summer!

British alternative rock quartet Skunk Anansie are trailblazers. Formed in 1994, they played their first gig at London’s Splash club in March of the same year and released their debut album Paranoid And Sunburnt the next, featuring breakthrough single Weak. Their outspoken lyrics detailing their experiences in modern Britain, alongside the band’s legendary unapologetic live performances, contributed to them becoming one of the most important bands of their generation and quickly led to global success, with the group and frontwoman Deborah “Skin” Dyer becoming the first black artist to headline Glastonbury Festival’s Pyramid Stage in 1991 with a repeat visit to that coveted top slot in 1999.
