What were you doing 10 years ago? Given the 24/7 news cycle that we have become inundated with, 2012 feels like a lifetime ago. This was the year that introduced to Gotye, The Dark Knight Rises, the hell that was Apple Maps.
For Billy Corgan, it was the last time that he and the Smashing Pumpkins graced Chicago’s most iconic venue. On June 14, 2012, the band ripped through a blistering, 15-song setlist, with such high points as Zero, Ava Adore, and Muzzle, all of which can be watched here.
For the first time in a decade, the Smashing Pumpkins will play the Metro on September 20 for Q101’s “An Evening With the Smashing Pumpkins” and the only way to get in is to win them from Q101.
Starting at 6:00AM on September 13, we’ll be giving away tickets every half hour, every hour, every day until the day of the show.
