Garbage Begins Likely Final North America Tour, Unlikely to Return

Garbage, the alternative rock band led by Scottish singer Shirley Manson, announced their upcoming 'Happy Endings' North American tour set to begin September 3, 2025, as likely their last extensive headline tour in the U.S. The band shared on Instagram that they are unlikely to play many of the cities on this tour again, emphasizing that "all beautiful things come to an end". This tour marks their first major U.S. headlining run in nearly a decade and follows the release of their eighth album, 'Let All That We Imagine Be the Light.' Manson has hinted at the band's future winding down, reflecting on the urgency brought by age and the preciousness of life. The band will be supported on tour by Los Angeles group Starcrawler and will conclude in Los Angeles on November 5 before performing in Mexico City. Their decision to potentially end extensive touring comes after Manson's recovery from surgery in 2024 and a decade-long gap since their last headline tour in the States.
