July 4: The Smashing Pumpkins to Perform in Prague at O2 Universum

After their concert at the sold-out Forum Karlín in 2019, the American band The Smashing Pumpkins will return to Prague this year. They will perform on 4 July at the O2 Universe in Prague.

When The Smashing Pumpkins first emerged out of Chicago in 1988, the world had never heard a band quite like them.

They spun together rock, pop, shoe-gaze, metal, goth, psychedelia, and electronic. Upon their formation, their sound was different, iconoclastic, and wholly new—and it still is today.

As a result, they’ve sold over 30 million albums worldwide and collected two Grammy Awards, two MTV VMAs, and an American Music Award. Their catalog is highlighted by the platinum Gish [1991], the quadruple-platinum Siamese Dream [1993], diamond-certified Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness [1995], platinum Adore [1998], and gold Machina/The Machines of God [2000].

In 2018, they embarked on one of their most successful tours ever, the Shiny and Oh So Bright Tour, followed by SHINY AND OH SO BRIGHT, VOL. 1 / LP: NO PAST. NO FUTURE. NO SUN.

Meanwhile, 2020 saw the release of the band’s eleventh full-length and latest double album, CYR.

This year, The Smashing Pumpkins released their latest album, ATUM. The sequel to 1995’s Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness and 2000’s Machina/Machine of God, ATUM features 33 tracks in 3 acts and was written and produced by Corgan.

As prolific as ever, The Smashing Pumpkins are currently working on new music and recently completed their sold-out 27-date North American THE WORLD IS A VAMPIRE TOUR.

The group has sold over 30 million albums worldwide as of October 2012, and sales in the United States alone reaching 19.75 million.
