Saturday night at the Forecastle Festival in Louisville, Kentucky, the Smashing Pumpkins veered from a slew of intimate club shows to headline their first festival since Billy Corgan handpicked a brand new lineup. Thousands gathered to hear the new incarnation of the Pumpkins perform a 90-minute set comprised of old favorites and a selection of new ones.

The band opened with chestnut ‘Today’ from their breakthrough smash, ‘Siamese Dream.’ Guitars crashed as the audience sang along to the familiar tune. A girl in the crowd yelled, “It’s 1996, b—-es,” which pretty much summed up the iconography of seeing the ’90s stalwart group live. Two mosaic flower structures stood on both sides of the stage and occasionally twirled around when lights flickered on them. For the second song, the band delved into ‘Astral Planes,’ one of the many new songs the band’s releasing as part of the 44-song album ‘Teargarden by Kaleidyscope.’
