Iconic alternative-rock trailblazers Garbage are set to light up Iveagh Gardens with a special gig that’s shaping up to be one of the highlights of the summer. Fronted by the inimitable Shirley Manson, the band that defined ’90s alt-rock with classic hits like Stupid Girl and #1 Crush will bring their raw energy and timeless sound to one of the city’s most atmospheric outdoor venues. Let All That We Imagine Be The Light, Garbage’s expansive, explosive, all-too-human album is their eighth. It’s the first one that arrived unexpectedly, due to unforeseen circumstance. Conjured into existence when the band was all at sea.
