"Garbage" Join the Hills of Rock Festival 2019

The alternative Scottish-American rock band Garbage will be headliners on the third day of the Hill of Rock 2019 festival, whose third edition will be held on 28, 29 and 30 June at the Rowing Base in Plovdiv, organizers from Sofia Music Enterprises announced, reports Dnevnik.

In their career spanning more than 25 years, they have over 17 million copies of albums sold worldwide, concerts in more than 35 countries, and 6 studio long-track recordings. The vocalist Shirley Manson, the guitarist Duke Eriksson (keyboard and guitar) and Steve Marker (guitar) as well as drummer Butch Vig, who we will see next year in Bulgaria, have been together since the creation.
