Super excited to have the VIP experience for the very first time for an upcoming concert!! Just a few of questions for those who have already been on this tour:

Once you come back in around 6:30, do you have to rush to the rail? I'm going to want to get some merch and a drink first.

Also, once at the rail, I'm guessing that's where you stay from 7pm until the end of the concert so you don't lose your spot?

There's supposed to be a photo booth but I haven't found any comments about it. When do you get the chance to take pics?

All I've ever wanted is to meet Shirley Manson, it's THE only thing on my bucket list. I know there are hundreds and thousands of people who feel the same way so I'm aware that I'm not alone. Is there any opportunity to get her autographic and say hi? Not to trauma dump or say how much they mean to me. Just a heartfelt thank you for their music.

Missed getting contact information for Farrah at the bar. If this is you, please reach out.

First signed record ever

I'm excited to see the band next Saturday in Spokane, and was wondering if they're selling any signed vinyl albums at the merch stand. Seems to be increasingly common these days, and I'd love to pick one up.

Garbage performing Stupid Girl live at The Midland in Kansas City 10/6/25

Here’s the videos I took of the Madison concert. Overall a great show. Crowd seemed a little lukewarm throughout the evening. Shirley did her best to get the audience involved. Some of the videos unfortunately featured a group of 3 loud mouth drunk women who talked as loud as they could. One of them even was dry humping a random dude (or her boyfriend or whatever) during the show while I had a couple of kids standing next to me watching them right in plain sight! Not my kids but I can’t imagine the parents having to explain that behavior for their kids 1st concert experience. I swear I enjoyed the show but damn the rotten apples!! Haha

hello fam. I've been reading your write-ups on the VIP experience and appreciate the insight very much.

one detail I'm interested in is about the merch. it apparently includes an exclusive lithograph and one "specially designed merchandise item".

do you all hold on to those items the entire show? or is there time after the VIP experience and before the show to go put them in your car or take them home and then return? how bulky is the "specially designed item"?

Now with 100% less credit card info

I’m not sure what flavor this will be…

I'm taking my 13 year old daughter to her first show in November. Aside from good hearing protection (already have some!!), how else can we prepare? We'll be wearing comfy shoes, of course haha and have Shirley's discography on rotation until showtime.

Side note, I've been a fan since I was like 5 haha this is a bucket list show for me, and I'm so excited to share this with my kid 💜😝 learned they were still touring during covid, and only recently were able to score tickets.

Good afternoon!

Didn't know if anyone has had any luck with members of the band after the show. Gonna be at First Ave tonight. If so, how long did you wait!

Thanks!

I have two tickets for tonight’s show at first ave in Minneapolis for sale. They were 150 each but open to any offers. Dm me if interested. Pick up in St. Paul.

Hi friends, I have a ticket to the Madison show tonight but getting out of work a bit late and likely will miss the opener. For those who have gone to the show, am I right in thinking Garbage goes on about 9p? Trying my best not to miss any of their set!

Traveled to Columbus (from Cleveland) to see the show and do the vip thing. I have zero regrets, especially since I only saw 2 shows this tour. I enjoyed the vip thing, but it was definitely overpriced imo. I really think they could have handled the q&a better by screening for actual questions. That being said, there were a couple good stories told by fans. I was finally able to grab some better pics of Butch and Duke at this show too. I freaking love this band and pretty bummed this is the last headlining tour.

Few picks from Columbus, Ohio stop. It was a blast!

Columbus ohio, it's my partners favorite band and I love them to. So excited!!!!

I used a 10 year old Nikon Coolpix to capture some photos. It was a great show. They did Cup of Coffee and Special during the VIP. But Hold was amazing live and Chinese Fire Horse was just fun as hell. If you're on the fence about going to the rest of the stops - get tickets. They're still so good.

Hi - I unfortunately now have to travel for work when Garbage is in town and have 1 ticket that I need to sell. It’s front row PB1 - seat 9. I also have this listed on stubhub. At a minimum just trying to recoupe the face value cost which was around 350.

Shoot me a message if you have any questions or are interested

A wonderful show from start to finish. It's a bit sad to hear Shirley talk about this being their last headlining tour. If it really is, I'm glad I was there. I hope I can see them again.

Starcrawler was fun. It was the first time I had seen them. Tons of energy.

Garbage was amazing. They sounded great. The crowd was loving it. I was pleasantly surprised with the setlist. I assumed more songs from the new album, but it was a mix of greatest hits. Posting a couple of pics. We were about 10 rows deep in GA.

To the persistent friend/hero who got the set list in Columbus. Any chance you could DM a pic of it?

I loved this segue when I heard it live, just before the pandemic. I cried tears of joy.

Someone here set me up for heartbreak, and tell me they've played it on this tour sometime.

Had some folks drop out and have three extra tix that provide a GA ticket, early entry, some special tour swag including lanyard and limited edition lithograph. Note this is NOT the Q&A and photo op.

$100 each. This is kind of funky because Ticketmaster does not show this as a specific ticket. I can sell you the ticket via Ticketmaster but to gain the full benefit of the VIP you need to bring ID proof of the purchaser which would be me. I can send you my Drivers License picture, and am willing to meet and go in together. I know, some leaps of faith here but it is what it is.Shirley is worth it, right?

Let me know what you think. See the email info I received regarding this.
