## Summary

Smashing Pumpkins delivered a nostalgia-focused Lollapalooza set in Chicago, with Billy Corgan inviting Olivia Rodrigo and Yungblud on stage for surprise guest performances. The collaborations paired newer pop and rock stars with the band’s Nineties catalogue, making the set one of the festival’s notable cross-generational moments.

Yungblud joined the group less than an hour after his own set to sing “Luna”, from 1993’s four-times-platinum Siamese Dream, with Corgan on guitar. Rodrigo later performed an acoustic, rain-soaked rendition of “Thirty-Three” from 1995’s Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness; earlier that week, the band’s aftershow had also featured Barry Williams and former touring member Melissa Auf der Maur.
