Hot Garbage Tour Dates and Upcoming Concerts

Calling on the driving rhythms of dark post-punk and motorik krautrock, Toronto’s Hot Garbage seamlessly work shining melodies and swirling textures into deliberate, brooding arrangements. Fans of Sonic Youth, Broadcast and 70’s era Iggy Pop should no doubt find a familiar pull into their raw sound, which draws inspiration from a wide and eclectic range of musical genres and art forms. Since forming in 2015, the four-piece have toured their intense live sets throughout Canada, the United States, Europe and the United Kingdom, including stops at festivals like LEVITATION, Freakout Fest, Purple City, M for Montreal, Sled Island, and Pop Montreal. In addition to touring in support of contemporaries L.A. Witch and Frankie & The Witch Fingers, the road-hungry quartet has also shared stages with Osees, Ty Segall, Geese, Mdou Moctar, Wand, Kikagaku Moyo, JJUUJJUU, and Dead Meadow. The quartet followed debut RIDE (2021) with Precious Dream (2024), a sprawling collection of songs written in isolation and brought together alongside visionary producer Graham Walsh (METZ, Preoccupations, Holy Fuck, !!!), offering an exhilarating new breath into the world of post-punk and modern psychedelia, a listening experience that is equally cathartic and introspective. As they put the last touch on a third long-player to be announced later this year, the four-piece venture into noise rock with the release of standalone single Wewu, scheduled for January 20th, 2026 via Mothland.
