Garbage

One of alternative rock's most iconic acts, Garbage, returns to the UK in summer 2026 for a sensational run of live dates alongside the equally formidable Skunk Anansie. Fronted by the magnetic Shirley Manson, Garbage have spent three decades delivering ferocious, anthemic rock — from the brooding electronic edges of 'Stupid Girl' to the razor-sharp intensity of 'Only Happy When It Rains' — and their live shows are nothing short of electrifying. Expect a masterclass in alt-rock performance, steeped in attitude, emotion and raw sonic power. The tour takes in a stunning array of iconic and atmospheric UK venues across June 2026, including The Piece Hall in Halifax, the enchanting woodland setting of Delamere Forest, the retro seaside magic of Dreamland Margate, the dramatic Scarborough Open Air Theatre, and the legendary Roundhouse in London. Each venue brings its own unique character, promising unforgettable backdrops for a night of genre-defining rock music under the summer sky. With Skunk Anansie — led by the powerhouse vocalist Skin — joining as co-headliners on most dates, this tour delivers a double bill of genre-defining British rock royalty. Together, these two acts represent the very best of the alternative scene, guaranteeing setlists packed with hits, passionate performances, and the kind of shared communal energy that only live music can create. Whether you're a lifelong devotee or discovering these legends anew, this is essential summer 2026 viewing.
