Garbage have expanded their 2026 tour schedule and confirmed additional concerts in Europe. They are also coming to Germany for two performances. ROLLING STONE presents.
The new European dates complement the band’s previously announced UK tour, which includes several open-air shows in the UK alongside Skunk Anansie. The Scottish-American formation will also perform in seven other European cities next year. The focus will be on their new album “Let All That We Imagine Be The Light”, released in May 2025. Germany is also on the tour schedule: two concerts are planned in Hamburg and Mainz in June 2026.
Alternative rock icons since the 1990s
Garbage have been musically active since 1993. The band around singer Shirley Manson combines rock, electronic and pop with socio-political lyrics. The band became known with their debut album “Garbage” (1995), which received international attention with songs like “Stupid Girl” and “Only Happy When It Rains”. Together with producer and drummer Butch Vig as well as Duke Erikson and Steve Marker, Garbage carved out an independent role within the international rock landscape early on.
Tickets for €62.50
General ticket sales for the newly announced European shows have already begun via the organizer’s website. At the Karsten Jahnke Konzertdirektion GmbH The tickets are available for €62.50. Sales on other ticket platforms such as Eventim and Ticketmaster will begin shortly. Tickets are also still available for some of the previously confirmed UK dates.

Album tour also in 2025 and statement appearance in Sydney
Let All That We Imagine Be The Light is Garbage’s eighth studio album. Immediately after the release, the band went on tour in 2025 and presented the new material live for the first time as part of a concert tour through New Zealand and Australia. The performance at the Sydney Opera House, which took place on December 14th shortly after a deadly anti-Semitic attack on Bondi Beach, received particular attention. During the concert, Shirley Manson addressed the audience directly several times and spoke about the increasing escalation of intolerance and violence worldwide.
