Default CONFIRMED: TSP @ PINKPOP FESTIVAL - LANDGRAAF - THE NETHERLANDS 28 MAY 2007

Today in national Dutch free newspaper METRO and later confimred by the festival organiser on national Dutch Press Service (ANP):

The Smashing Pumpkins will be the closing act for this year's edition of the Pinkpop festival in Landgraaf, The Netherlands.

This will be the fourth time Corgan has played the festival; after two gigs with The Smashing Pumpkins (94 - replacing Pearl Jam, 98 - last minute addition) and one with Zwan.

Traditionally the Pinkpop festival kicks off the European festival season, often in the same weekend as Rock Am Ring and Rock Im Park. This year however, Pinkpop is one week earlier. This might mean the Pinkpop show is one of the first shows on the new European tour. With several days off between the festivals I'd say it's highly likely the band will fill up the tour with club/venue shows.

Also: as the band is starting pretty early (end of may) in Europe:
- there will most likely be some warm-up shows prior to the Europe tour and wouldn't be surprised to see a week long stand at Metro, Chicago to herhald the return
- considering the band has stayed out on tour a few times for more than 6 weeks in Europe it could be possible to play Pinkpop and all following early festivals, play some club/venue shows on week days in between and finish off with the huge mid season festivals Rock Werchter, Glastonbury and Roskilde (end of june/early july)
- coinciding with the release of the album, the band would then return to the US for the kick off of a nation wide tour, maybe present the album again at Metro, play some tv-shows as promo and head off on the road, followed by a return to Europe for the late august UK and mainland Europe festivals which could be a short tour and then over to Japan.

It would be for me but unfortunately he doesn't like SP, and I have a funny feeling he wouldn't be up for going on holiday to see me getting stoned out my tits and going to see sp.

From Amsterdam Central Station (City) to Landgraaf it's 2 hours 42 minutes.
From Amsterdam Schiphol Station (Airport) to Landgraaf it's 3 hours 4 minutes.
Only one or two change overs in trains en route.
From Landgraaf station there's a shuttle bus service to the festival site.
Or you can grab a cab at the station or go walking.

Now also on the Pinkpop festival site:
http://www.pinkpop.nl/page.php?pagID=300&newID=136
Also adding to the bill:
Korn, The Fratellis
Previously confirmed: Muse, Iggy Pop & The Stooges, LostProphets and Snow Patrol.

How much does this sponsoring cost? I doubt I'm really that kind.

I can't believe you call that a relationship.

I'm not sure my wife would let me go solo to a show here in (what will probably be) Minneapolis, Madison, Milwaukee or Chicago... stoned out of my tits or not.

The last time I got stoned out of my tits, I hadn't smoked in two years, and I tell you what, I didn't realize how stoned out of my tits I used to be every day.

Example:

Hey Jesse.
*background conversation*
Hey Jesse.
*background conversation*
Hey Jesse.
*background conversation*
Hey Jesse.
*background conversation*
Hey Jesse.
DUDE YOU JUST SAID MY NAME LIKE FIVE TIMES WHAT DO YOU WANT?
I dunno, I forgot what I was going to say.

For as much as I used to smoke, I suprised myself with how lightweight you become after time. I never expected to turn into the typical first-timer.

I don't actually smoke much at all anymore, and if I do it's with breaks for a few months in between, but that goes out the window when I go to amsterdam.

Whenever I hear "Amsterdam" I think Cheech N Chong's Still Smokin'

Cheech has got that dumbass song
"AMSTERDAM, I LOVE IT IN AMSTERDAM..."

Hasn't Corgan stated in the past he won't play Roskilde again?

Let's hear your guesses at the price of a ticket to see the first show at the Metro.
