Garbage has announced a concert in frontwoman Shirley Manson‘s hometown of Edinburgh, Scotland, marking what the band says will likely be their final headlining show in the city.
The performance takes place July 11 at Edinburgh Castle.
“To bring the band home to play the castle for what most likely will be our last headline show in Edinburgh is without doubt, one of the greatest honours of my professional career,” Manson writes in an Instagram post.
Tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. local time. For more info, visit Garbage.com.
Garbage previously announced that their recent U.S. tour, which wrapped in November, would mark their “last North American headline tour.”

Ellie Goulding debuted her baby bump on the red carpet for the 2025 Fashion Awards in London on Monday.
While the singer did not publicly comment on the pregnancy, a source told People she is expecting her second child. It will be her first child with boyfriend Beau Minniear; she’s already mom to a 4-year-old son, Arthur Jopling, with ex-husband Caspar Jopling.
Ellie wore a black crop top to show off the bump, paired with a long black trench, black shorts and heels.
Ellie and Caspar announced their separation in February 2024. She and Beau were first rumored to be spending time together in July, and were spotted out and about together in September.

Sabrina Carpenter is speaking out after one of her songs was used in a video depicting ICE raids that was posted by the White House.
The clip, posted on the White House’s X account, is soundtracked to Sabrina’s song “Juno.” The singer responded to the video, saying she did not authorize use of her song.
“[T]his video is evil and disgusting,” she wrote. “Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.”
This isn’t the first time Donald Trump’s White House has used a pop song without permission from the artist. Kenny Loggins spoke out in October about the “unauthorized” use of his song “Danger Zone” in an AI- generated video shared by Trump on Truth Social.
And over the summer, British singer Jess Glynne decried the White House’s use of the Jet2holidays meme — which features her song “Hold My Hand” — to promote ICE raids.

“All the Stars” have aligned for Kendrick Lamar and SZA, as they have topped several of Billboard‘s year-end lists. Their song “Luther,” off K. Dot’s GNX album, leads the year-end Hot Rap Songs and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts.
It entered both charts at #3 on Dec. 7, 2024. It made its way to the top position two weeks later, where it stayed for the remainder of the 2025 chart year (Oct. 26, 2024, through Oct. 18, 2025).

The 2025 edition of Bowl for Ronnie, the annual charity celebrity bowling tournament held in honor of the late rocker Ronnie James Dio, raised over $85,000 for the Ronnie James Dio Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund.
The event took place Nov. 13 at PINZ Bowling Center in Studio City, California, and featured bowling teams made up of musicians, including Black Sabbath’s Geezer Butler and Extreme’s Nuno Bettencourt.
Other rockers who attended Bowl for Ronnie include Skid Row’s Sebastian Bach and his bandmate Frederico Delfino, Foreigner’s Jeff Pilson, George Thorogood and former Guns N’ Roses guitarist Gilby Clark.
Dio died of stomach cancer in 2010 at age 67. The Ronnie James Dio Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund has since raised over $2 million for cancer research and education.

Ashley McBryde is switching on a new charity initiative.
The Light On Fund, named after her hit “Light on in the Kitchen,” will support causes close to Ashley’s heart, including mental health care for veterans, children in foster care, ASL interpretation at live music events and rehab resources for creatives.
Notably, Ashley is launching the initiative on Dec. 2, which is her mother Martha Wilkins‘ birthday. Martha recently auctioned off one of Ashley’s childhood dresses to raise money for the foster care system in Ashley’s home state of Arkansas. Now the singer is personally matching the amount of money raised from that sale to kick off the initiative.
“Leaving the light on for someone is the same as telling them you love them where I’m from,” Ashley says in a statement. “Folks are suffering in ways we’ll never see or know about, and the same way I want someone to come to my show and know that for 90 minutes, they’ve got a safe haven, we hope the Light On Fund will be a place of support, care, and nurturing for causes that have touched my life and my history.”
“The women in my family have led by generous and humble example, living out that the most important gestures are the ones from one heart to another,” she continues.
“With the establishment of the Light On Fund, I hope that we’re letting people know that we see them and we care. Wherever they may be or may end up on life’s journey, we’ll leave a light on for them.”
One way to be a supporter is to buy the official Ashley McBryde’s Light On Fund hat from her online store, with all proceeds going directly to the initiative.

Blondie recently paid tribute to their late drummer Clem Burke on what would have been his 71st birthday, and they are continuing their tribute by telling fans about a cause that was important to him.
“In honor of Clem’s birthday this past week, we are highlighting the Clem Burke Drumming Project, which explores how drumming enhances physical, cognitive, emotional, and mental health,” they wrote on Instagram. The post explains that the organization’s goal is “to focus on initiatives that use drumming to support developmental and behavioral therapy, coping skills, and emotional expression for individuals of all ages.”
“Clem’s mission was to bring drums off the stage and into the lives of those who need them most,” the post continued. “If his lifelong work has inspired you, consider donating to fund research, outreach and programs that promote emotional expression, coping skills, and developmental growth.”
Posted on Giving Tuesday, the band also shared a link where fans can donate to the organization.
The Clem Burke Drumming Project was founded in 2008. Burke passed away on April 6 following a private battle with cancer.
