Legendary alternative rock band The Smashing Pumpkins have officially announced their
much-awaited “Rock Invasion 2025” World Tour — and it’s bringing them back to Indonesia
for the first time in 15 years.
Kicking off in Nagoya, Japan on 15 September 2025, the tour will take the band across major
cities in Asia and the Middle East, including Tokyo, Yokohama, Osaka, Fukuoka, Hiroshima,
Busan, Manila, Bangkok, Jakarta, Singapore, Bahrain, and Abu Dhabi. It’s been over ten years
since the band last toured Southeast Asia, and their long-awaited return to Indonesia is sure to
ignite excitement among loyal fans.
The Smashing Pumpkins will bring their explosive The Smashing Pumpkins “Rock
Invasion” 2025 Tour in Jakarta on Friday, 3 October, 2025, at JIEXPO Kemayoran, Hall
A2 & A3. This marks the band’s long-awaited return to Indonesia after one and a half decades,
and promises an unforgettable night for fans.
Making a bold statement with their 1991 debut album, Gish set a new benchmark by becoming
the bestselling indie album of its time and eventually earning a platinum certification.
However, it was their 1993 follow-up, Siamese Dream, that truly reshaped the landscape of
alternative music and culture.
From the immortal drum roll of “Cherub Rock” to the ice cream truck in the “Today” music
video to the strings on “Disarm” to the eight-minute catharsis of “Silverfuck” to the downright
legendary cover art, it was as alive as any rock record to come before or in its wake. Siamese
Dream reached quadruple-platinum status as the band ascended to an arena and festival
headliner.

About The Smashing Pumpkins
The Smashing Pumpkins are one of the most iconic, iconoclastic, and influential bands of all
time, shaping alternative music and culture. Since forming in Chicago during 1988, the group
have sold over 30 million albums worldwide and garnered two GRAMMY® Awards, seven
MTV VMAs, and an American Music Award. Their catalog includes seminal offerings such
as the platinum Gish [1991], the quadruple-platinum Siamese Dream [1993], the diamond-
certified Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness [1995], the platinum Adore [1998], and the
gold Machina/The Machines of God [2000]. Rolling Stone cited both Siamese
Dream and Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness among its “500 Greatest Albums of All
Time.” It would also be impossible to envision alternative music and culture without their
signature iconography such as the idyllic album artwork for Siamese Dream, the black Zero
shirt, the laissez faire bliss of the “1979” music video, the gothic metamorphosis of “Ava
Adore,” or the multi-dimensional live shows that sell out worldwide to this day. 2018 saw The
Smashing Pumpkins unveil SHINY AND OH SO BRIGHT, VOL. 1 / LP: NO PAST. NO
FUTURE. NO SUN. and launch the immensely successful Shiny and Oh So Bright Tour,
which packed arenas. Maintaining this momentum, the band released their eleventh full-length
double album CYR [2020], representing yet another evolution, and more recently, ATUM
[2023], the sequel to 1995’s Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness and
2000’s Machina/Machine of God. The band’s 2024 album, Aghori Mhori Mei, written in the
immediate aftermath of ATUM, sees a return to form for original members Billy Corgan,
Jimmy Chamberlin, and James Iha, and harkens back to the band’s early 90’s canon; where
guitars, bass, drums, and spiking vocals ruled.
