Smashing Pumpkins Launch 2024 Tour with U2 Cover, New Guitarist: Videos + Setlist (2024)

The post Smashing Pumpkins Launch 2024 Tour with U2 Cover, New Guitarist: Videos + Setlist appeared first on Consequence.

Smashing Pumpkinskicked off their 2024 world tour (grab tickets here) over the weekend with an opening performance in Birmingham, England, which saw them play hits, new cuts, rarities, covers, and more. It also marked the debut of the band’s new touring guitarist Kiki Wong.

Part of a leg of UK tour dates with Weezer, the opening night saw Smashing Pumpkins get things started by playing a recording of “ATUM,” the first track on the band’s recently-released concept album, Atum: A Rock Opera in Three Acts. From there, they performed a few older songs, and then covered U2’s 1991 song, “Zoo Station,” live for the very first time.

The night also saw Smashing Pumpkins perform a few of their biggest hits, like “Today,” “Bullet with Butterfly Wings,” and “1979,” which must be a sign that the band still enjoys them, considering that Billy Corgan recently said that he feels no obligation to do the hits and won’t “play any songs I don’t want to play.” The band also pulled out a few bust-outs, like the first performances of “Thru the Eyes of Ruby” since 2015 and “Panopticon” since 2013, plus “Gossamer” and “Birch Grove.”

Throughout the night, too, Smashing Pumpkins’ sound was augmented by their new touring guitarist Kiki Wong, who was chosen after the band put out a call for someone to replace previous guitarist Jeff Schroeder this past January. Later, they revealed that they received over 10,000 submissions, but Wong rose to the top.

Following their UK/European jaunt with Weezer, Pumpkins will join Green Day as the main support for the North American leg of their “Saviors Tour.” Get tickets to all of the band’s upcoming tour dates here.
