Garbage tour dates 2024

Recent tour reviews

• Garbage

  Seeing Garbage at the Borgata Music Box in Atlantic City, NJ exceeded my expectations in many ways; the venue was small enough to make me feel involved in the event, the acoustics were superior and, best of all, Garbage provided an exceptional performance to the individuals lucky enough to be there.

  This band loves to perform; they were nearing the end of a busy U.S. tour, but still were able to hammer out 23 songs with enthusiasm and near studio sound.

  I particularly enjoyed Shirley Manson's frequent stories and dialog with the audience, which enhanced the live concert feel.

  Inexplicably, the venue was not full; I attribute this to a ticketing issue with the Music Box ticket system; for example, I attempted to purchase tickets as soon as they were on sale, had second row seats, but lost them when I did not have a login to the Borgata's ticket system. Subsequently, I was able to acquire seats in the back of the theater, but there were many empty seats in front of me, which leads me to believe that blocks of tickets are reserved by resellers, like Ticketmaster. This is unfortunate as it likely results in individuals thinking the tickets have all been sold and missing an incredible concert.

• Once again Garbage with the amazing Shirley Manson rocked the Roseland with an unforgettable show! I have seen Garbage every time they’ve come to town since their debut album 25 years ago! And I love it that they could play a larger venue but prefer the more intimate setting. And every time they never fail to bring the house down with a very personal experience. They always make Portland feel like we are the best city that we really are! They absolutely love playing with the north west and you always feel like the performance was specifically played for you like at your own party. Shirley gets to play dress up however she wants and she always looks smashing! I even checked out the Seattle show where she was playing in an oversized T-shirt and still looked fabulous. Never miss a chance to see them when they’re in town. It’s never too late and you’ll always have a fantastic time and walk away with an unforgettable memory!!!!

• Garbage continues to amaze each time I see them.

  They are cohesive, incendiary, exciting, relentless, & have a great catalog of tunes to flog.

  Shirley Manson is as affable & ebullient a front-person as anyone in the business.

  She's sincere, funny, playful, sexy--the whole package.

  All that &, she's just a flat-out phenomenal vocalist!

  Their staging & especially lighting design was constantly dazzling & filled with surprises.

  I will see them absolutely when they choose to return to San Francisco, every time.

  They represent "rock n' roll dollars", well-spent!

  Short side note: Garbage founder, producer, drummer, Butch Vig was not on this gig due to illness. He was missed, but the cat who filled in for him totally crushed the gig, in a good way!

  Get well soon Butch!
