The Smashing Pumpkins Welcome Olivia Rodrigo at Lollapalooza
Billy Corgan brought out Rodrigo for “Thirty-Three” as the band marked its first Lollapalooza headlining slot in 32 years.
- The Smashing Pumpkins topped the bill at Lollapalooza's Bud Light Stage on July 31, marking their first Chicago headlining appearance in 32 years, with surprise guests Olivia Rodrigo and Yungblud performing during the 17-song set.
- Rodrigo headlined the same festival last year, surprising crowds with Weezer, while frontman Billy Corgan staged 'Pumpkinpalooza,' a hometown celebration including a sold-out show at the 2,500-capacity Riviera Theatre.
- Yungblud performed 'Luna' from the 1993 Siamese Dream album less than an hour after his own set, telling the crowd, "This is a fucking dream come true," while Rodrigo sang 'Thirty-Three' with Corgan on acoustic guitar as the stage glowed red.
- Rainfall began about 45 minutes into the set, prompting fans to don ponchos and some to leave early, though it subsided within 20 minutes; former bassist Melissa Auf der Maur closed the set with 'The Everlasting Gaze' from 2000's Machina/The Machines Of God.
- The Smashing Pumpkins launch 'The Rats in the Cage' tour September 30 in Columbus, Ohio, marking the 30th anniversary of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, while Corgan plans a 60-piece orchestral reimagining for UK and Europe dates later this year.
