The Smashing Pumpkins are bringing The World Is A Vampire Festival to Australia this April. They will be playing in ten different cities across the country, and have a stellar lineup in what will be an incredible day out.
Updated: 3/3/22
There are a number of changes from the original announcement. We’ve done our best to list them all here.
- New shows have been added in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.
- The Victorian event at Hastings Foreshore has had to be moved due to insurance problems. – there is now a show at Port Melbourne on the 22nd April, and Ballarat on Sunday, April the 23rd.
- The Newcastle Entertainment Show has now been moved to Saturday, April 29.
- Unfortunately the Wollongong and Penrith shows have been cancelled.
- A second show has been added to Sydney, on April 19.
- All the dates are below.
Joining them on the bill is alt-rock legends Jane’s Addiction. Melbourne’s Amyl and the Sniffers are on everyone’s must-see-list at the moment, and for good reason. Their shows, and the dynamic front-woman Amy Taylor are mesmerising.
Sydneys Redhook is another band that has been winning over fans, with their music that appeals to fans of rock, rap, metalcore and electronica. Sydney band Battlesnake are reknowned for their incredible live sets, so will be another one to savour.
It’s not all about the music though. Between the sets, you can experience the wonders of professional wresting.
Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan happens to own the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), and they are bringing some of their biggest stars to Australia. They will be pitted against the Wrestling Alliance of Australia (WAOA) between sets.
For those that know their wrestling, featured talents include NWA Women’s World Champion Kamille, NWA World Tag Team Champions Bestia 666 & Mecha Wolf, NWA World Junior Heavyweight Champion Kerry Morton, Natalia Markova, Thom Latimer, Mercurio, Missa Kate and much more.
