Smashing Pumpkins To Headline V Festival

Smashing Pumpkins are tipped to headline the 2nd annual V Festival in Australia, starting March 29, 2008 in Sydney.

Billy Corgan resurrected a new version of the Pumpkins in '07 with fellow original member Jimmy Chamberlain.

In July '07, the Pumpkins released "the comeback album" 'Zeitgeist.

While capturing the sound of the original Smashing Pumpkin, fans have been somewhat guarded of the band because of the exclusion of original bass player D'Arcy Wretzky and guitarist James Iha.

D'Arcy is about removed from the music industry these days as one can be. She lives in Watervliet, Michigan, owns a horse farm and three antique stores.

Since James Iha left the band he has released one solo album, 'Let It Come Down', in 1998. He has toured with A Perfect Circle, produced for Japanese act Chara and in 2006, worked with the classic rock act America on the critically acclaimed 'Here & Now' album.

The most recent gig for Smashing Pumpkins was on November 18 at the Nokia Theatre in Grand Prairie, Texas.

Their setlist was:

• United States (from Zeitgeist, 2007)
• Bullet with Butterfly Wings (from Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, 1995)
• Drown
• Bring the Light (from Zeitgeist, 2007)
• Tonight, Tonight (from Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, 1995)

• 1979 (from Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, 1995)
• Perfect (from Adore, 1998)
• Today (from Siamese Dream, 1993)
• Stand Inside Your Love (from Machina/The Machines of God, 2000)
• Superchrist (unreleased from Zeitgiest sessions)
• Doomsday Clock (from Zeitgeist, 2007)
• Heavy Metal Machine (from Machina/The Machines of God, 2000)
