I’ve always had a love for The Smashing Pumpkins, my favorite song being Luna or Mayonnaise (depending on the day). When the State Fair announced the concert lineup for 2024, I was ecstatic to see that the Smashing Pumpkins would be performing there. I convinced my mom, who had also been a huge fan in high school, to come with me. It was the best first concert I could have asked for. I totally lost my voice that night, but it was well worth it.
