Garbage Kicks Off the Happy Endings Tour in Orlando

Garbage opened their Happy Endings Tour on September 3 at Hard Rock Live in Orlando. Starcrawler started the night with a raw, high-voltage set that pushed the energy in the room up a notch.

Garbage followed with a set that pulled from every era of their career. New songs stood alongside the classics, turning the show into something bigger than just a tour opener. The set list felt like a love letter to the music, and to the people who’ve carried it with them. Shirley Manson’s presence carried both fire and vulnerability, and the band sounded locked in from start to finish.

 

The Orlando show made it clear this tour is not just about looking back. It is about connection, gratitude, and a band giving this run everything they have. It was a fierce, emotional start, and a reminder of why Garbage’s connection with their fans runs so deep.
