Bleed Like Me World Tour
2005 concert tour by Garbage
The Bleed Like Me Tour was the fourth world concert tour by American rock band Garbage, in support of their fourth album Bleed Like Me (2005). It began in Paris, France and took the band throughout North America, Europe and Australia. The tour included headline performances, rock festivals, and television and radio shows. After being initially organised on a smaller scale, the tour snowballed into bigger venues when the album and its lead single "Why Do You Love Me" became surprise hits internationally. The tour concluded in Perth, Western Australia after six months on the road and dates in France, Belgium and United Kingdom were cancelled. A statement from the band said that they had "somewhat overextended themselves".
Former Jane's Addiction bassist Eric Avery left his position as a member of Alanis Morissette's backing band to perform bass guitar for the duration of the tour. Matt Walker, who performed on the album, covered Butch Vig on drums on a few North American shows. A number of artists supported Garbage throughout the run of the tour, including The Dead 60's, JJ72, Los Abandoned, Melatonine, Silo, Red Jezebel and theSTART. During one festival appearance, Garbage performed four mash ups with Canadian electroclash musician Peaches.
Each performance on the tour was led-in by an intro-tape of Johnny Cash's posthumous cover version "Hurt".

Why this record matters
“Bleed Like Me World Tour” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Bleed, Like and World provides the most credible route into that argument.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 2, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4925886. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2005.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
