LIVE REVIEW: GARBAGE & SKUNK ANANSIE AT DREAMLAND, MARGATE 19/06/2026 (+ DU BLONDE)

There are some bands that don't just soundtrack your youth, they help define it. For women who came of age in the 1990s, Garbage and Skunk Anansie were never simply alternative rock bands. They were permission slips. Permission to be loud, complicated, political, vulnerable, angry, glamorous and unapologetically ourselves. Standing beneath the open skies at Dreamland on a warm June evening, surrounded by thousands of women who looked suspiciously like they'd once raided Camden Market in the late '90s, it felt less like a nostalgia trip and more like a reunion with old friends who'd never stopped fighting.
