Garbage has announced the dates for their first U.S. tour in nearly a decade. The 31-city Happy Endings run is slated to kick off on Sept. 3 at the Hard Rock Cafe in Orlando and come to Denver October 12th.
The fall tour will follow the upcoming release of the band’s eighth studio album, Let All That We Imagine Be the Light. Singer Shirley Manson said in a statement last month that the follow-up to 2021’s No Gods No Masters will flip that LP’s rage into a more optimistic outlook.
“Our last album was extremely forthright. Born out of frustration and outrage – it had a kind of scorched earth, pissed off quality to it,” Manson said. “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.”
She added, “Searching for life, searching for love, searching for all the good things in the world that seem so thin on the ground right now. That was the over-riding idea during the making of this record for me – that when things feel dark, it’s best to try to seek out that which is light, that which feels loving and good. – Billboard
