The Smashing Pumpkins

The Smashing Pumpkins

They have shaped the alternative rock scene for over three decades, creating a legacy few bands can match.

Since forming in Chicago in the 1980s, the band has sold over 30 million albums worldwide and earned prestigious accolades, including two Grammys, seven MTV VMAs and an American Music Award. Their discography includes some of the most influential albums in alternative rock history—Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness are not only multi-platinum classics, but also hailed by Rolling Stone as two of the “500 Greatest Albums of All Time.”

– The Smashing Pumpkins have made a lasting impact—both visually and musically—on the alternative music scene. We’re incredibly excited to welcome them to Stora Scenen this August, says Johan Gummesson, artist booker at Liseberg.

The band’s latest album, Aghori Mhori Mei, was released in 2024 and marks a return to their roots for original members Billy Corgan, Jimmy Chamberlin and James Iha. The record echoes the band’s early '90s sound, with guitars, bass, drums and raw vocals front and centre.

On 22 August at 8 PM, The Smashing Pumpkins will take the stage at Liseberg for the very first time.

Concert tickets

Concert tickets for this summer’s performances on Stora Scenen cost SEK 75 each and can be booked at liseberg.se. In addition to the concert ticket, you will also need an entrance ticket to Liseberg Park.

Dare to Care

– a commitment to mutuality and to combat sexual abuse

In partnership with Svensk Live, the Swedish Association for Sexuality Education and various festivals, organisers and performers, we support everyone’s rights to their own body and their own sexuality.

At festivals, clubs – and everywhere. Dare to Care is primarily about creating a social culture that advocates communication, mutuality and consent in sexual relationships. In practice this involves working to establish norms and values and provide practical safety measures together with organisers, as well as talking to audiences at venues.

Greentopia

– Events as a driving force for climate change

Through the Greentopia initiative, stakeholders in live music, the sports community and Swedish cities have formed an alliance that is committed to reducing the carbon footprint of events.

We have joined this alliance, and together with other members of Greentopia we will actively work to reduce the climate impact of our own events and strive to encourage visitors and other stakeholders to contribute to the goal of making cities climate-neutral by 2030. Our focus is on food and drink, transport and textiles.
