  The Smashing Pumpkins were in a transitional phase during their performance at the Glastonbury Festival on June 29, 2013. This live recording occurred shortly after the release of their album "Oceania," which was unveiled in June 2012 as part of their "Teargarden by Kaleidyscope" project. The band, originally gaining fame in the 1990s with albums like "Siamese Dream" and "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness," had undergone numerous lineup changes and had been solidifying their revived sound with the new material. The performance of "Tonight, Tonight"—one of their most iconic tracks—embodied a blend of nostalgia and their evolving identity as a band. Interestingly, this marked the Pumpkins' return to Glastonbury since their notable performance in 1997, demonstrating their lasting impact and continued relevance in the music scene, even after a decade of challenges and transformations.
