The Smashing Pumpkins staged a hit-packed comeback show at an intimate Californian venue on June 27th. You can see the setlist and official photos of the concert below…
At the doors of L.A’s Troubadour club, a small group of lucky Pumpkins fans were asked to hand their phones over as they entered the venue. 400 fans gained entry as wristbands had been handed out on a first come first serve basis the day before.
