<div style="text-align:justify"><strong>Alternative rock legends is ready to relive 90&#x27;s music this September 29 at the Smart Araneta Colliseum. </strong></div><div style="text-align:justify"><br/></div><p style="text-align:justify">You simply cannot talk about 90s music and culture without bowing at the shrine and offering intense reverence for the body of work and unmistakable sonic contributions to the era of alternative rock without mentioning <a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/40Yq4vzPs9VNUrIBG5Jr2i?si=piKuNdttQ8mKlq2e7YAUHQ" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>THE SMASHING PUMPKINS</u></strong></a>—truly one of the most successful and largest-selling artists worldwide.</p><div style="text-align:justify"><br/></div><p style="text-align:justify">Led by prolific songwriting genius and renowned rock figurehead <a href="https://www.instagram.com/billycorgan/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>Billy Corgan</u></strong></a>, the band and its music has endured more than three decades’ worth of trends and remains to be a fiercely driven musical force that simply cannot be replaced nor imitated.</p><div style="text-align:justify"><br/></div><p style="text-align:justify">It&#x27;s really all rooted in the band’s music, as their singles have transcended from being smash hits on music charts decades ago to becoming anthems of the generations that would follow, lucky enough to witness their greatness first-hand: from early live favorites like the snarling hard rock of <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/2n6r0bWrKWeo55FWk68wSd?si=910f5fda80474187" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>“I Am One”</u></strong></a> to explosive nihilistic singles like <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/1XPta4VLT78HQnVFd1hlsK?si=78b8f0e8e2ef418d" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>“Today,”</u></strong></a> <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/0Wl42CUb1phIU9O2aR1wXI?si=92c4a13391414c8b" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>“Disarm,”</u></strong></a> <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/4N4LLHDJgfkQxrYP8Cn0I7?si=c940b022688448f5" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>“Cherub Rock,</u></strong></a>” and many more. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnGcjQlLO8x7jsfw3r6U9ww" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>THE SMASHING PUMPKINS</u></strong></a> have, without a doubt, created the soundtrack for the lives of many music fans worldwide.</p><div style="text-align:justify"><br/><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Pi6RJmUNBbw?si=s0kqA9v711i8mxyp" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><br/></div><div style="text-align:justify"><br/><iframe width="560" height="315"

style="text-align:justify">The band’s sound was like no other: driving rhythms, thickly layered guitar riffs that were juxtaposed between being beautifully melodic and densely dreary, the interplay of <strong><u>Corgan’s</u></strong> space-child vocals and angst-ridden screams—all brought together by his painfully honest lyricism—was hard to limit to the confines of traditional alternative, grunge, hard rock, new wave or even heavy metal and electronica. </p><div style="text-align:justify"><br/></div><p style="text-align:justify">As evident with the progression of each album in the band’s extensive catalogue, the band undoubtedly remained a step ahead of their peers and always had the pulse of modern music within their arsenal, which is why they continue to release groundbreaking music to this day.</p><div style="text-align:justify"><br/></div><p style="text-align:justify">Though the band originally made its way to the Philippines in 2012, it was during a time when the band was admittedly navigating through shaky waters, with <strong><u>Corgan</u></strong> being the only founding member to perform. </p><div style="text-align:justify"><br/></div><p style="text-align:justify">This time around, all three original members have finally come together to perform at the <strong>Smart Araneta Coliseum</strong> this <strong>September 29th, 2025</strong>, for one night only, in a show dubbed <strong>SMASHING PUMPKINS ‘ROCK INVASION 2025’ IN MANILA.</strong></p><div style="text-align:justify"><br/><iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fpulpliveworld%2Fposts%2Fpfbid0yp1hZ5wnBcLsQ4qGqRwjGDPpYNTSneTtk8RXR4TFjjdoM1uAgQWc6tkbjXCQujnPl&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="748" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div style="text-align:justify"><br/></div><p style="text-align:justify">Any loyal Filipino “Pumpkinhead” will tell you that THIS is the show Manila has been waiting for, and in true rock n’ roll fashion, might not happen again.  </p><div style="text-align:justify"><br/></div><p style="text-align:justify">Produced by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pulpliveworld" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>PULP Live World</u></strong></a>, it’s an amazing musical experience that will celebrate both the legacy and relevance of a band that has influenced countless fans and musicians around the world. </p><div
