Smashing Pumpkins singer Billy Corgan at PPG Paints Arena on Sat., Aug. 4, 2018
The Smashing Pumpkins brought its "Shiny and Oh So Bright tour" to PPG Paints Arena last night, playing a three-hour set mixed with songs old and new.
Was singer Billy Corgan's long night on stage fueled by avocado pudding? Earlier in the day, he was spotted on social media at
VegFest:
Corgan has played long sets in Pittsburgh in the past. In 2015, we
reviewed a two-and-a-half-hour show at the Carnegie of Homestead Music Hall.
Photographer Mike Papariella was at the arena to capture the scene as Corgan donned makeup and joined his bandmates for the reunion show.
