The Smashing Pumpkins and Weezer at London’s O2 Arena: timings, tickets and everything you need to know

Two alternative rock heavyweights, with very different styles but equal amounts of rizz, will team up for a special headline show at the O2 Arena in London this weekend. We’re talking about The Smashing Pumpkins and Weezer, who will take to the London stage for a night of ‘definitely-not-cringe indie classics’, as Time Out’s music editor, Georgia Evans, says.
