Is Garbage touring in 2026?

Alternative rock icons Garbage have remained a fan favourite since their explosive debut in the mid-1990s. Following their 2022 album No Gods No Masters and a string of international festival appearances, speculation is building that the band could return to the road in 2026.

While no official announcement has been made, frontwoman Shirley Manson recently hinted in interviews that the group have been working on new material. Given Garbage’s history of touring in support of album releases, fans are optimistic that a major 2026 tour could be on the horizon.

Fans hoping to experience the band’s signature blend of grunge, electronic, and alt-rock live should stay ready – VIP ticket demand is expected to be high.

Possible Garbage UK tour dates & venues

If a 2026 tour is confirmed, it’s likely to take place between spring and autumn – in line with previous tour schedules. Garbage have often favoured UK arenas and open-air venues, combining their theatrical sound with visually striking performances.

They could return to venues they’ve played in recent years, such as:

  • OVO Arena Wembley, London
  • O2 Apollo, Manchester
  • OVO Hydro, Glasgow
  • Utilita Arena, Birmingham
  • Motorpoint Arena, Nottingham

A festival appearance, such as at Glastonbury or Download Festival, would also not be out of the question.

Who could support Garbage?

Garbage have shared the stage with artists from Blondie to Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds. For a 2026 tour, potential support acts could include up-and-coming alternative rock bands or established indie favourites.

Rising UK acts like Yonaka or Wolf Alice could complement Garbage’s sound perfectly, while a reunion bill with Blondie could draw huge crowds once again.

Where could Garbage play in the UK?

Garbage are known for rewarding loyal UK fans with an impressive run of shows. If they return in 2026, possible cities include:

  • London
  • Manchester
  • Edinburgh
  • Glasgow
  • Birmingham
  • Nottingham
  • Bristol
  • Leeds

When might tickets go on sale?

If a tour is announced later in 2025, tickets would likely go on sale soon after, possibly before the end of the year. Garbage’s last UK shows sold out quickly, so fans should prepare in advance by registering interest for early access and hospitality packages.

When was Garbage’s last tour?

Garbage last toured the UK in 2022, co-headlining with Blondie on their Against the Odds Tour. The shows featured hits such as Stupid Girl, Only Happy When It Rains, and Push It, reminding audiences of their enduring influence on the alternative scene.

Does Garbage have a new album?

While not officially confirmed, Shirley Manson revealed in 2024 that the band had been writing new music. A potential 2026 tour could coincide with their next album release – continuing their pattern of pairing creative output with live performances.
