GARBAGE Announces Summer/Fall 2025 North American Tour

Influential alternative rock band GARBAGE will embark on a 31-city tour across North America this fall in support of their anticipated eighth studio LP, "Let All That We Imagine Be The Light". "Happy Endings" will see stops at New York's Brooklyn Paramount, Washington D.C.'s The Anthem, San Francisco's The Warfield and more. Tickets will go on sale April 4.

For over thirty years, GARBAGE's powerful live show has captivated audiences and continues to inspire worldwide adoration. "Happy Endings" marks GARBAGE's first extensive headline tour in the U.S. in almost ten years.

"Let All That We Imagine Be The Light", set for release May 30, is the follow-up to 2021's critically acclaimed "No Gods No Masters", praised in The New York Times as a "thrumming mix of goth and orchestral pop." According to 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.

GARBAGE consists of all four original band members: Manson, Duke Erikson, Steve Marker and Butch Vig. Over the 30 years since their inception in 1995, they have sold over 20 million albums. Their unique sound, songwriting and electric live performances have cultivated global admiration, chart success and critical acclaim. They are considered one of the most influential bands of their generation.

"Let All That We Imagine Be The Light" is unmistakably GARBAGE. All the hallmarks and signatures for which they are known are present here. Big angular guitars, precise, propulsive beats and cinematic soundscapes all lurk beneath Shirley Manson's unmistakable voice, her lyrics bristling with attitude. This is the sound of a group at the peak of their creative powers — characteristically harnessing sonic juxtapositions and moods to create an album that thrums equally with both light and shade.

Butch Vig says: "We used a lot of analogue synths and sound design on the album, as they seemed to fit the dystopian vibes we were all experiencing. We started recording the album with a clean slate, although given what's happening in the U.S. and the rest of the world, it's inevitable that the madness starts to infiltrate the songs. But we definitely wanted the record to have some hope, some light, to convey the feeling that people have the power."
