It's their first headlining trek in nearly a decade, and fans have been scrambling to get their hands on fresh tickets to finally see Garbage live on stage. Despite what their name suggests, the American rock band is anything but trash.

Selling over four million copies and gaining double platinum certifications, the "Stupid Girl" and "Only Happy When It Rains" hitmakers became a staple name in the alt-rock circuit. Over the years, they've disbanded, got back together, and dropped rockin' anthems along the way. This time, they're back for a "Happy Endings Tour" in support of their eighth studio record, "Let All That We Imagine Be the Light". With a special stop at Hollywood Palladium, get ready to witness their greatest hits, fan favorites, and new music come to life in a show that promises a happy ending.

The "Stupid Girl" and "Only Happy When It Rains" hitmakers just announced a massive comeback tour scheduled this fall. The Happy Endings Tour will makr Garbage's first U.S. headlining trek in nearly a decade. The 31-date outing will see the band performing on stage in support of their eigth studio album "Let All That We Imagine Be the Light".
Despite what their name might suggest, these rockers are anything but trash. Their music has been critically acclaimed by critics and rockheads alike, shaping 90s alt-rock in the process. To this day, they are recognized as one of the most influential bands in the rock sphere. From their 1995 domination with their self-titled debut album to "Version 2.0", their 2000s bangers, and their latest 2025 release, the band has been through a lot yet continues to rock on in every step of the way.
The band's international breakthrough was driven by their highly-successful singles "Vow", "Only Happy When It Rains", "Queer", and "Stupid Girl". Their succeeding hits "I Think I'm Paranoid", "When I Grow Up", "Push It", "Cherry Lips (Go Baby Go!)", "Why Do You Love Me", and many more have solidified the band's reputation.
Selling millions of records worldwide, the band even recorded the theme song for the James Bond film "The World Is Not Enough" in 1999. Through the years, they've been through a disbandment and a hiatus, yet always came back strong.
On their eighth studio record, Garbage hoped to switch the energy up from their last album. From tales of outrage, the band turned to light as they move on. 10 tracks in, you can definitely feel the waves of optimism that the band has tuned into. It includes their new fan favorites "There’s No Future in Optimism", "The Day That I Met God", and "Love to Give".
"Our last album was extremely forthright. Born out of frustration and outrage – it had a kind of scorched earth, pissed off quality to it," lead vocalist Shirley Manson shared via Billboard. "With this new record however, I felt a compulsion to reach for a different kind of energy. A more constructive one. I had this vision of us coming up out of the underground with searchlights as we moved towards the future."
All set with bright eyes, it sure is time for the light to come, especially after they tackled some heavy feelings on 2021's "No Gods No Masters". Flipping rage into positivity, it's a bright era for Garbage.
Celebrating the new record with their first U.S. headlining tour in almost a decade, millions of fans have expressed their excitement to finally see theser rocks live on stage once again. Tickets are in hot demand, so better book 'em now!
