Viva La Woman

After baiting their fans with rumors of a joint tour, No Doubt and Garbage are finally inking in dates for their highly anticipated outing. With the Distillers joining as support, the trio of female-led bands will hit the road starting October 9, although Garbage doesn’t officially join in the merriment until October 15.
Confirmed dates have the bands tackling East Coast arenas through October. A full tour itinerary is expected soon.
Pop-rockers Good Charlotte will also perform for a select few shows –
October 9, 11, and 14.
A few Rolling Stones shows interrupt the schedule, as No Doubt will be
opening for the veteran rockers on October 12, 18, and 26.
This is the second headlining tour for both No Doubt and Garbage this year.
The first half of 2002 saw the two bands individually trekking across the
States, each filling theatre houses as they toured in support of new tunes.
In addition to similar touring schedules, new hit records, and having both
been an opening act on part of U2’s mega-tour in 2001, Garbage and No Doubt leaders – Shirley Manson and Gwen Stefani, respectively – are also friends. Hence, the co-headlining journey for this fall.
The Distillers complete this trio of women-fronted bands. Lead by Brody
Armstrong – wife of Rancid’s Tim Armstrong – this relatively new California
group has been making waves with their fresh punk tunes.
