Kryal Castle is set to host legendary alternative rockers The Smashing Pumpkins for a much-anticipated one-night-only performance at a unique mediaeval venue.
Taking place Sunday, 23rd April 2023, the event will be one of The Smashing Pumpkins’ first world tour dates since reforming after nearly two decades apart.
The World Is A Vampire tour boasts special guests, including alt-rock legends Jane’s Addiction and in-your-face rock from Melbourne’s Amyl & The Sniffers, as well as Sydney’s RedHook, Battlesnake and local acts soon to be announced.
The show will also feature professional wrestling matches between Billy Corgan’s NWA (National Wrestling Alliance) and the WAOA (Wrestling Alliance of Australia).
Having formed in 1988, The Smashing Pumpkins have gone on to become one of the most influential bands in history, with over 30 million records sold worldwide and eight Grammy Award nominations. Revered for their pioneering blend of hard rock, heavy metal and psychedelic influences.
Jane’s Addiction were one of the first bands from the alt-rock movement to gain both mainstream media attention and commercial success, with a sound all their own and their influence can be heard across nearly every sub-genre of rock music.
Kryal Castle chief executive Bart Hamilton said having one of the premier global bands of the 1990s perform at Kryal Castle is a “huge win” for regional Victoria and music fans.
“This is just the first of many gigs to come at Kryal Castle, so I hope the community will get behind the event and enjoy some amazing talent in a spectacular venue,” he said.
Fans are invited to join in the action at Kryal Castle on Sunday, 23rd April 2023, to witness an unforgettable evening of music, entertainment and memories.
Tickets are available online.
