The Smashing Pumpkins will celebrate the 35th anniversary of their seminal debut, Gish, with multiple new 35th Anniversary vinyl variants available on May 29, 2026, the same week as the anniversary.

Frontman Billy Corgan’s Madame ZuZu’s & other independent record stores will be carrying a colour vinyl housed in the original 1991 packaging, a limited-edition colorway evokes the classic cover pressed on striking 180-gram gray vinyl, accented with pink and purple splatter. A standard Black 180-gram vinyl in the original 1991 packaging will also be available, honouring the legacy that helped shape an era. Pre-order The Smashing Pumpkins’ Gish, RIGHT HERE.

The Smashing Pumpkins notably recorded Gish with producer Butch Vig at Smart Studios in Madison, WI. The album channelled spirits of rock, metal, psychedelia, pop, and shoegaze into an alternative conjuration unlike anything before it—or after, for that matter. Released on May 28, 1991, it went on to make history, becoming one of the most successful independently released albums of its era. The 10-track body of work eventually reached Platinum status, anchored by staples such as “I Am One,” “Siva,” “Rhinoceros,” and more.

Beyond the forthcoming Gish 35th Anniversary vinyl release, Corgan has continued to make cultural waves, most recently producing and collaborating with YUNGBLUD on a powerful reimagining of his song “Zombie,” marking the first time The Smashing Pumpkins have appeared on another artist’s recording. Corgan’s cross-generational influence also extends to his critically praised podcast, The Magnificent Others, which celebrated its one-year anniversary this February and has featured conversations with YUNGBLUD, Gene Simmons, Sharon Osbourne, Tom Morello, and more. Listen to the podcast HERE.
