Anyone who’s fighting their rage despite being still just a rat in a cage will be disarmed by the knowledge that the band who coined those iconic lyrics among many others will be playing a giant outdoor show in London this summer. The kings of alternative rock that are The Smashing Pumpkins will take to West London’s Gunnersbury Park to perform a career-spanning set in the open air.
They will headline Gunnerbury Park on Sunday, August 10with a full lineup throughout the day performing on the stage to a crowd larger than London’s O2 Arena. Main support will come from fellow legendary 90s rockers Skunk Anansie who will be performing classics and brand new music; as well as rock quartet White Lieswho will play something of a homecoming gig having formed in Ealing, which is where the gig is being played.
