Garbage<\/a> have announced a huge gig set to take place at Edinburgh Castle next summer, in what they said is likely to be their \u201clast headline show in Scotland\u201d. <\/p>\n The band revealed the news on December 2nd, with frontwoman Shirley Manson saying it was an \u201chonour\u201d to return to her home country alongside the American members of her group when they take to the iconic stage on July 11th, 2026. <\/p>\n She said: \u201cBringing my band home for what most likely will be our last headline show in Scotland, feels both poignant and triumphant.\u201d<\/p>\n Manson then added: \u201cIt\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n It comes as Garbage recently also announced a string of summer co-headline shows with Skunk Anansie<\/a> set to take place next year in Halifax, Cheshire, Margate, Scarborough, Cardiff, and Southampton. <\/p>\n However, this is likely to be a final swan song for the band, as their current Happy Endings tour, which is making its way around Australia and New Zealand right now, would mark the end of the road.\u00a0<\/p>\n There are a myriad of reasons for this, not least evidenced from the American leg of the tour where Manson opened their show in Washington DC in October with a warning to the audience about the \u201cthievery of the music industry\u201d<\/a>. <\/p>\n Garbage released their eighth and final studio album, Let All That We Imagine Be The Light, in May this year, bringing an end to their seismic catalogue, which began in the 1990s with hits such as \u2018Stupid Girl\u2019 and \u2018It Only Happens When It Rains\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n
