See photos from the ceremony.

Bands will perform across North America this fall.

The Smashing Pumpkins leader got vocal.

Capping off the 20th century with some remarkable concerts.

That was his 'a-ha' moment.

The studio phase has started.

Instant earworms.

Billy Corgan provides an update and context on what's to come.

Both Peep and Cobain were stars who died young.

Corgan revisits his 1997 'Live With Regis and Kathie Lee' appearance with Howard Stern.

The band continues to experiment with its sound.

The follow-up to 'Mellon Collie' and 'Machina' sounds truly epic.

Smashing Pumpkins are today's CYY 25 Band of the Day. We're celebrating our 25 years as Portland's Alternative Rock Station with 25 great bands that ARE CYY. The Pumpkins have been here a few times over the years. In fact, you can go back to PRE-CYY days when the band came to a club called "Bad Habits" back in 1991. Wayyyyy early on. The band played here in 1996 at the Civic Center and in 2012 at the State Theatre. We brought them to town for an autograph session back in 2000! It was at Bull Moose in the Old Port. Hundreds of CYY freaks showed up for that one to meet the band. And it was really cool when the then-Mayor of Portland, Nick Mavodones gave the band the Key to the City.

The rollout for the 'Cyr' double album continues.

Listen to 'Confessions of a Dopamine Addict' and 'Wrath.'
