Alt-rockers Garbage land in Orlando kicking off a huge 31 date North American tour.
Alternative rock band GARBAGE are set to rock Orlando as the band led by Shirley Manson kick off a 31-city tour across North America in support of their eighth studio LP, "Let All That We Imagine Be The Light".
The Happy Endings Tour will see the band return to the stage at Hard Rock Live Orlando on Wednesday, September 3, 2025 with special guests Starcrawler.
Happy Endings marks GARBAGE's first extensive headline tour in the U.S. in almost ten years, other than an extensive tour with Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds in 2023.
The bands new album, Let All That We Imagine Be The Light, was released to rave reveiws back on May 30, and is the follow-up to 2021's critically acclaimed "No Gods No Masters." According to lead singer Shirley Manson, the new album was forged out of the need to find an uplifting thread amidst the swell of chaos and extraordinary upheaval in the world.
Ahead of the show at Hard Rock Live Orlando, Garbage have shared a message for fans in Orlando via Social Media:
Dear Orlando,
"We haven’t played for you in a very long time. The most recent visit being 8 years ago back on our “Rage and Rapture” co-headline tour with Blondie in 2017.
The FIRST time we played Orlando was on March 3rd 1996. This wardrobe case would have been with me then as she is still with me now.
I have been thinking a lot about how much the music industry has changed since we emerged in 1996 and about how difficult it is currently for working bands to risk going out on the road.
We musicians now meet a very different, pressing set of challenges in the music industry than ever before , rendering touring a physically, spiritually and above all - financially treacherous endeavour most of the time.
We realize just how fortunate we are to have visited Orlando numerous times over the course of our career. We are so grateful to you all for the incredible support we have enjoyed and for the wild and wondrous, ever changing skies of Orlando - with all those sumptuous golden-lined clouds , that hang fat and low above your city.
See you tomorrow night dear ones.
Can’t wait."
The show is all but sold out, with very imited tickets for the show still available.
GARBAGE consists of all four original band members, Scottish vocalist, Shirley Manson, and American musicians, Duke Erikson (guitar, bass, keyboards), Steve Marker (guitar, keyboards), and Butch Vig, (percussion), with the lineup unchanged since their inception in 1995.
Since releasing their eponymous debut album back in 1995, Garbage has blazed a distinct sonic trail. With a passel of hits including “Stupid Girl,” “Push It,” “Only Happy When it Rains” and “I Think I’m Paranoid,” they’ve garnered consistent critical acclaim as well as seven Grammy nominations along the way to 20 million albums sold.
