SUMMER IN THE CITY 2026 - Garbage

Iconic alternative rock band led by singer Shirley Manson is on tour with their new album “Let All That We Imagine Be The Light.” Two exclusive shows in Germany in June in Hamburg and Mainz.

Garbage has been one of the most influential bands in alternative rock since the 90s. With their distinctive sound that blends rock, electronics, and pop, alongside socially conscious lyrics, Shirley Manson, Butch Vig, Duke Erikson, and Steve Marker have created a powerful and unique body of work. Live, the band presents itself as a powerful unit that effortlessly connects classics and new songs. In June 2026, Garbage will perform in Germany with their new album “Let All That We Imagine Be The Light” for two shows.

The new work is their eighth studio album – an intense, atmospherically rich album that emerged from a phase of profound upheaval. After a severe injury to singer Shirley Manson in 2024 required an abrupt tour cancellation, Garbage was able to develop a new creative perspective from this forced pause. From the awareness of this vulnerability and the spatial distance of the individual band members, a new Garbage sound emerged: more emotional, with cinematic expansiveness and great narrative power.

The album addresses transience, resilience, and solidarity – transforming personal crises into collective hope. Musically, the band combines their unmistakable force with new nuances of atmosphere, dynamics, and melody. “Let All That We Imagine Be The Light” is a mature, touching statement on humanity, the fragility of life, and the strength that can arise from vulnerability.

In June 2026, Garbage will bring these new songs and classics such as “Only Happy When It Rains,” “Stupid Girls,” “I Think I’m Paranoid,” and “#1 Crush” live to Germany!
