Garbage have announced a huge show at Edinburgh Castle for 2026.
The Stupid Girl rockers will play a homecoming headline show in the Scottish city on Saturday 11th of July, on what they've dubbed a "full-circle moment".
“Bringing my band home for what most likely will be our last headline show in Scotland, feels both poignant and triumphant,” said frontwoman Shirley Manson - as reported by NME.
“It’s a full-circle moment for me and it means the world. To be asked to grace the stage with Edinburgh Castle as our backdrop will be, without doubt, one of the greatest honours of my professional career.”
Tickets for the new date go on general sale here this Friday 5th December from 10am.
