Garbage Edinburgh Castle Stage Times: Gig set times, support, tickets, setlist, age restrictions for Shirley Manson's homecoming gig
It should be a special show forEdinburgh-born lead singer Shirley Manson.
Formed in Wisconsin in 1993, rock band Garbage made a star of Scottish frontwoman Shirley Manson, with their self-titled debut album selling over four million copies and spawning the hit singles Stupid Girl and Only Happy When It Rains.
Second album Version 2.0 followed in 1998 and was equally successful, leading to the band performing the theme song to James Bond film The World Is Not Enough.
Two more studio albums followed before the band went their separate ways in 2005, regrouping for a short time two years later to record new songs for a greatest hits album.
Garbage were to reform properly in 2011, recording four further albums, most recently last year’s Let All That We Imagine Be the Light.
They’ve also been touring, selling out gigs around the world, and there was good news for Scottish fans when they announced a huge gig at Edinburgh Castle, which will take place this weekend.
