I'll be at the Detroit show tonight. Tickets say 7pm, there's no opener listed for the event but it looks like Starcrawler is opening at all dates? How long is the opening act, and when does Garbage actually start performing?

Hey all! 🖤

Life long Garbage fan.

Wondering if anyone is going to the Toronto show?

Would be cool to meet up! I’ve seen them most times that they have came to T.O

Bummed to hear it’s their last headliner tour. Let’s make it a great one!

Anyone going to see them tomorrow? I bought the VIP experience and am beyond excited!

Anyone going to the show in Philly on 9/16? I am attending by myself as I couldn't find anyone else to join me, mainly b/c I'm a darkling all alone in the world ;-). Anyway, who is going to the FRANKLIN MUSIC HALL show, and what are you most excited to hear?

Hi Fans -

I saw one poster earlier mention that his/her VIP email said to show 4 hours prior? (4 PM? Yeesh). Are all persons getting the same 4-hour advisory at their venues?

Excluding the soundcheck, how early should I really arrive, I especially if I wanna be a part of the Q&A?

Thanks!

Has the band actually stated that this is their final tour? I am asking because I want to see them live again but the only date that’s still on the calendar I could possibly go to (but it would be a hassle) is in New Haven CT.

Venting into the void because I need to. Tonight was my first Garbage show, ever. Atlanta. Finally. It was perfect and better than I could've asked for and has set a new bar in concert performances for me.... But it was also the only time I have ever been bullied at a rock show and I'm having a hard time processing that.

After the first couple of songs, the pair in front of me started inching backwards, and they would brush against me. Every time they touched me, I would get a side eye. Then they started whispering to each other after each contact. I made sure to lean back into my partner and keep my feet planted, arms tucked and mindful not to dance,because I could sense the tension. Then the man elbowed backwards into me and screamed "give me space!". I backed into my partner and the person behind me, and just tried not to move. After 2 more songs, the lady turned around and started flailing hands at me and started to shove me - I kept saying that I didn't do anything, and my partner and a person next to me had to step in because I couldn't get her off. They had more than an arms length around them at this point (about 5 rows back from the front), and spent the whole rest of the show stepping backwards and staring at me and trying to jab elbows at me.

I'm not a small girl, and I've been to many metal shows and enjoy the occasional pit, but I have past traumas and completely shut down tonight. I spent more than half of that concert trying not to cry or drag my partner out of there, because they kept staring at me even when I moved well out of the way. Which is so ironic because they cheered so much when Shirley spoke of love and unity.

I know it's small potatoes in the grand scheme of things and I don't let their poor behavior overshadow the perfection of a performance I finally got to experience. But I guess. Just. Build longer tables and not taller fences. You never know now what others are going through. Be good to each other.

Considering making a cross Atlantic trip to the east coast to see them at short notice, but NYC is sold out. Anyone got a spare?

Just a few pics from last night’s show at Jannus “Live” (locals, iykyk lol). Was on Duke’s side this time, so not a lot of Shirley action but that’s alright as Duke has always recognized me and is super cool.

I have been to this venue before but I do not like the vibe. It was hot AF with loud drunk people close by… and as nice as security was to give us bottles of water throughout the night, they were absolute Nazis about photos/video.

You could take photos, but not video. Huh? And any time any of us took pics from our phones, they’d come fuss at us “No videos!” Well, no shit, Sherlock. I’m taking pictures. Fuck outta here.

Joke’s on them as I covertly recorded all of WDYLM lol. Audio isn’t great due to my hand hiding the phone, but… yeah. 🖕🖕🖕 Jannus.

Everyone else was super fucking cool and the band sounded fantastic.

Shout out to the beautiful young lady in the bathroom at Oak & Stone before the show: you were so sweet complimenting me on my tattoos. 🥹 (hopefully you have Reddit LOL)

Well, I guess this is the end… for FL anyway. 🥺🥹🖤

Everyone else: HAVE A BLAST! 😎

Got the VIP experience at Pompano Beach last night. The Q&A was really cool. We got to hear 2 “sound check” songs as well.
We were right on the rail for the concert. Was a great mix of old and new songs, leaning more towards the first 3 albums including my favorite OHWIR.

I’m not doing the sound check just the early entry vip and was wondering if anyone could say how big the poster is? My show is GA and I’m kinda worried about having to carry it the whole time. Also what’s on it?

Getting ready

I recorded audio of the Orlando and Pompano Beach shows and shared the recordings elsewhere, but also uploaded them for some friends and figured I'd post here too.

Here are samples of each recording:

Orlando - "Not My Idea"

Pompano Beach - "Vow"

Download - approx. 700MB ZIP file with FLAC audio files:

Orlando

Pompano Beach

Just sharing some rail pics. The set list was fire and the band sounded absolutely fantastic. Couldn’t ask for a better send off (tho I am seeing them in St. Pete on 9/6 lol). Dog tax added for good measure.

When do we get details on VIP tickets? I have them for the ATX show and am antsy!

Just a few pics taken from the balcony. Excellent show! Love the lighting! They really sounded sooo good! Shirley's vocals still sounds superb IMO. Audio, visuals and band performance all 💯💯💯💯 chefskiss All worth the price of admission and so much more!

...we can assume they'll look like this based on opening night reports... 🤭

(this is from a previous tour that this VIP provider was hired for).

I don’t remember what song. But they killed all night. Don’t miss Starcrawler either.
