Alt rock icons Garbage makes their long-awaited return to New Zealand this 3 December 2025!
Standing among the most influential alternative rock bands of modern times, the band – Shirley Manson, Duke Erikson, Steve Market & Butch Vig – are true pioneers, selling over 20 million albums and responsible for a catalogue of era-defining hits. They're returning in celebration of their highly acclaimed eighth studio album, Let All That We Imagine Be The Light.
Formed in Madison, Wisconsin, Garbage released their self-titled debut back in 1995 – an album that shot to #1 on the NZ Album Chart, #4 in Australia, and went 2x Platinum in both countries. What followed was three decades of era-defining records and chart-topping singles, including ‘Only Happy When It Rains’, ‘Stupid Girl’, ‘When I Grow Up’, ‘No Gods No Masters’, ‘I Think I’m Paranoid’, ‘Vow’ and countless more. Now, the band continue to evolve, as heard on latest single ‘There’s No Future In Optimism’.
