Blondie and Garbage team up for summer tour

What a great double bill! I sure hope they add an LA or OC area date...

Blondie and Garbage announced a co-headline North American tour that will kick off in July in Saratoga, CA and wrap in August. John Doe and Exene Cervenka will provide support on the first leg of the tour and Deap Vally for the second leg.

Tickets for the Rage and Rapture tour go on sale starting Friday, February 17 at 10:00am local time (please check venue websites for most up-to-date on sale information). Fans can also access a ticket pre-sale now HERE using the password RAGEANDRAPTURE (pre-sale not available in all markets). A complete list of live dates can be found below. More dates to be added soon.

In 2015, Garbage celebrated its 20th anniversary with the '20 Years Queer' world tour and the release of a special 20th anniversary edition of their debut album, re-mastered and featuring previously unreleased material.

Last year, Garbage released Strange Little Birds, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Rock Albums and Alternative Albums chart, and arrived at No. 14 overall on the Billboard 200 chart. This summer, Garbage will be releasing an autobiographical coffee table book, This Is The Noise That Keeps Me Awake, currently available for preorder HERE.
