Speaking to NME about the Gunnersbury Park show in February, Corgan touched on how after “playing all these years, especially together”, the group “now know how to handle those bigger moments”.
“I’m really proud that this particular line-up of the band knows how to rise to those occasions. Whereas when I was young, I would look at those gigs and almost feel intimidated,” he continued.
“Now, I look at those gigs and I want to rub my hands together because it’s so exciting. It’s a chance to create a one-of-a-kind moment in your life and the audience wants it. They want to see you at your peak and that pressure and feeling is magical when it works.”
Meanwhile, frontman Corgan recently performed at Black Sabbath’s final ever live concert, ‘Back To The Beginning’ – which took place just 17 days before Ozzy Osbourne’s death, aged 76.
Corgan has since paid tribute to the late Prince Of Darkness, saying that it was “like a magical dream” to appear at the historic Birmingham gig.
“[Osbourne] was obviously not at 100 per cent, [but] I saw nothing in his spirit that told me that he was anywhere near the end of his life,” he explained.
The Smashing Pumpkins’ 13th and latest studio album, ‘Aghori Mhori Mei’, was released in August 2024. The band are set to share 25th anniversary reissues of their 2000 albums ‘Machina/The Machines of God’ and ‘Machina II/The Friends & Enemies of Modern Music’.
