SMASHING PUMPKINS Set For Annual Bridge School Benefit

According to The Pulse of Radio, SMASHING PUMPKINS will perform at Neil Young's 22nd annual Bridge School Benefit concerts on October 25-26 at Shoreline Amphitheater just outside San Francisco. Also scheduled to appear are Young, ZZ TOP, WILCO, JACK JOHNSON, NORAH JONES, CAT POWER, SARAH MCLACHLAN, DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE and JOSH GROBAN.

SARAH MCLACHLAN and ZZ TOP will only appear on day one, with SMASHING PUMPKINS and JOSH GROBAN set to play only on day two.

The Bridge School, which was co-founded by Young's wife Pegi, works to help people with physical and speech impairments through alternate methods of communication, including music therapy. Each year, Young, who has two handicapped sons, gathers a cross-section of performers to perform acoustically to benefit the school.

Coming Home Media will release "If All Goes Wrong", a double DVD commemorative package celebrating the recent reunion and extraordinary 20-year career of the SMASHING PUMPKINS, one of rock's defining and most acclaimed bands, on November 11.

Directed and produced by Jack Gulick (BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, METALLICA, STEVE MILLER BAND, GODSMACK) and Daniel E Catullo III (STEVE MILLER BAND, GODSMACK, RUSH, DAVE MATTHEWS BAND),the two-DVD set contains the 105-minute documentary, also titled "If All Goes Wrong", plus "The Fillmore Residency", a full concert filmed in late July and early August of 2007 over five of the 11 sold-out nights at the famed Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco, California.

The concert disc was captured in 5.1 Surround Sound and state-of-the-art high definition from 12 cameras and features seven all new tracks not available anywhere else, along with new versions of fan favorites and a selection of PUMPKINS rarities.
