The Version 2.0 tour was the second world concert tour cycle by American/Scottish alternative rock group Garbage, which took the band throughout North America, Europe, South Africa, Asia and Australia in support of its second album Version 2.0.
Garbage perform under the alias Stupid Girl for the first three shows on the tour, referencing their 1996 hit single of the same name. The Version 2.0 tour took in headline performances, support performances for Red Hot Chili Peppers and Alanis Morissette, and slots at rock festivals and radio shows around the world.
A number of notable acts supported Garbage throughout the run of the tour, including Placebo, Moloko, Talvin Singh, Stellar*, Lit, Rasmus, Crystal Method and Laurent Garnier to various reception.

Preempting the start of their world tour, Garbage played three shows in the Midwest under the alias 'Stupid Girl'.[1] The Version 2.0 tour officially kicked off with club dates starting at San Francisco's Warfield Theater on May 20, and took the band to a number of key media cities in the United States and Canada.[2] Garbage then travelled to Europe to play a number of rock festivals beginning June 1 at Netherland's Pinkpop and finishing up at Scotland's T in the Park on July 12. In between the festivals, Garbage performed some headlining shows in France and the United Kingdom, with support coming from The Crystal Method. In August, the band travelled to Japan to perform on the bill at the Fuji Rock Festival, and then back to Scotland to perform at two "warm up" shows at Glasgow's Barrowland Ballroom and then headlining the last night of the Reading Festival.[1]
Garbage returned to North America on September 17, to start a three-month tour. Support came from Girls Against Boys. The itinerary took the band from Denver, Colorado up the West Coast as north as Vancouver, BC before routing towards the Southern States. Following these dates, the tour moved up the Eastern Seaboard and into Quebec and Ontario, before finishing up in the Midwest on November 28 in Green Bay, Wisconsin. During December, Garbage performed at radio shows on both coasts, including KROQ-FM's Almost Acoustic Christmas, and made a visit to Mexico City before wrapping up on December 20 in Detroit, Michigan.[1]
Continuing their touring commitment into 1999, Garbage launched a European arena tour on January 14 at Dublin's Point Theatre. Local acts such as Laurent Garnier and Rasmus support continental dates; Moloko support Irish and UK shows. Concerts in Paris and St. Petersburg are filmed to be broadcast by MTV Europe and MTV Russia respectively. A show in Tallinn is cancelled on the day when the band's equipment is held up by customs officials at the Estonian border.[3] The European run ends in Madrid on February 11.[3] Garbage then returned to North America to support Alanis Morissette on two legs of The Junkie tour, starting on February 16 in Cincinatti, Ohio routing along the Midwest, Four Corners states and onto the West Coast, ending on April 8 in Los Angeles[4]
Garbage revisited Europe to play a second summer of rock festivals, beginning with Vienna's Libro on May 19.[5] The shows included visits to Israel and Iceland, although four concerts in the Baltic States and Russia are cancelled on the advice of the American Embassy due to the USA's involvement in Kosovo. Garbage headlined a special show to mark the opening of the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh on July 1.[6] The European dates conclude in Duisburg on July 25. Garbage then travelled to South Africa to play four shows with Placebo.[1]
The final legs of the Version 2.0 tour see Garbage moving on to New Zealand and Australia to co-headline with Alanis Morissette, beginning in Auckland for sixteen days from Oct 1, and ending in Newcastle. During this time the band also performed at the Livid Festival. Garbage returned to North America to wind down the tour by headlining a series of shows organised by MTV on university campuses.[7] Titled the Campus Invasion Tour, and supported by Lit, the shows began on October 20 in Denver and is routed through the Midwest, North East and Southern States, Arizona and California.[8] The final date of the Version 2.0 tour is held in Irvine, California on November 24.[9]

^ a Garbage's equipment was held at the Russian-Estonian border by customs, and the show was cancelled at the last minute. Garbage appeared on Estonian news programmes criticising the Russian customs, and promised the show would be rescheduled
^ b Garbage had announced the above four dates on March 25, 1999 as part of that years European summer schedule, including a show in Estonia,[12] but by April 16 were cancelled on the advice of the U.S. Embassy due to concerns caused by the NATO bombing of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia during the Kosovo War. The U.S. Embassy had felt there was "Anti-American sentiment in some areas". The dates were not rescheduled.[13]
Encore:
Returning from the band's first tour in support of their debut album are all five of the international singles; b-sides "Girl Don't Come" and "Trip My Wire"; album tracks "Fix Me Now" (which is dropped from the set at the end of the leg) and "My Lover's Box" and the band's Modern Rock Tracks #1 hit "#1 Crush". Almost all are in similar arrangements from when they were performed on that tour. Garbage debut the entire first half of their second album, as well as "You Look So Fine" and their cover version of Big Star's "Thirteen", which had appeared on the b-side of the then-just-released "Push It".[14]
Encore:
Continuing on from the initial North American setlist, the European set underwent minor running order changes, mostly to accommodate time constraints when performing at various time slots on the European rock festival circuit. "Dumb" is moved further up the set to become the opening song, replacing "Push It"; while "Fix Me Now" is dropped from the set and debut album track "Not My Idea" is added, its arrangement updated to include more electronica backing elements. "I Think I'm Paranoid" is released as a single across Europe during the timespan of this leg, the track is moved to the end of the main set as befits its hit single status.[14]
Encore:
Although the initial shows had several songs dropped for time, the first major revamp of the Version 2.0 set occurred in Glasgow - the set is slightly refined ahead of the band's subsequent North American dates. "Dumb" is replaced by "Temptation Waits" which remains the opener for the next 12 months, while "I Think I'm Paranoid returns to its original position near the beginning of the show. In the main set, the band's cover of Big Star's "Thirteen" is switched with their early b-side "Trip My Wire", which, along with "Medication", is relegated to the encore section. This accommodates the extended "You Look So Fine as the final song of the main set, where it remains until the end of the tour. "Girl Don't Come" is dropped from the set at the end of this small leg; it was only performed sporadically by Garbage in the tours after.[14]
Prior to the North American tour leg, "Temptation Waits" had become the set opener in place of "Dumb" (which is performed a single-time during a Washington D.C. show encore); "Medication" is dropped; and with that exception the setlist remains broadly similar to the set from earlier in the year. Version 2.0 track "Wicked Ways" and international b-side "Lick the Pavement" debut at the beginning of the leg; while "Wicked Ways" remains on the set for the duration of the leg (and eventually moves from encore to mid-set), "Lick the Pavement" does not. Both songs do not return the following year. The encore section goes through multiple changes, when "When I Grow Up" becomes the final song of the night, and upcoming European single "The Trick Is to Keep Breathing" and b-side "Can't Seem to Make You Mine" (a Seeds cover version) are debuted ahead of the European tour leg to follow these dates. Garbage flip between performing stripped back arrangements of Vic Chesnutt's "Supernatural" and his "Kick My Ass", which Garbage had covered for a 1996 tribute album, or perform their own "Milk" and "Trip My Wire" on occasion. At Madison and Kansas City concerts, "When I Grow Up" is performed twice to enable director Sophie Muller to record footage for a music video.[14]
For this tour leg, Garbage debut an a stripped-back piano-led arrangement of "Medication" (which is performed in this arrangement right up until the end of the year), and perform "Sleep Together" for the first time, replacing "Wicked Ways" in the set, although it is traded with "Fix Me Now" on a number of accasions. A cover version of Vic Chesnutt's "Supernatural" is initially performed but dropped from the setlist midway through the run, as is the cover of The Seeds' "Can't Seem to Make You Mine", a studio version of which appears on the b-side of the singles Garbage release to support the tour ("When I Grow Up" and "The Trick is to Keep Breathing", dependant on territory). The latter song is replaced with the band's Big Star recurring cover "Thirteen". During a few moments of 'technical difficulties' in a number of shows, the band perform short versions of "Black Sabbath" and "Day Tripper". A few of the final shows featured early b-side "Trip My Wire" as the encore closer; "My Lover's Box" is performed for the final time at the end of this leg; as of 2010 it has not been performed again.[15]
For the band's return to continental Europe to perform at rock festivals in numerous countries, the band only slightly rework their headline set, dropping a few of the covers and b-sides for time. The only major change to the setlist from previous legs is the encore addition of "Supervixen" in a slightly different arrangement from the debut tour set (the band claimed that drummer Butch Vig found the song difficult to perform). "#1 Crush" is dropped for the sole UK date, in order to accommodate the inclusion of a rendition of the Robert Burns poem "John Anderson" and a cover version of The Beatles' "Don't Let Me Down". Both are performed by Garbage as a mark of the occasion, which was a headline show held to celebrate the opening of the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh. Most of the main set is performed each night, time permitting, although a few sets also include one-off performances of "Trip My Wire" and "Dumb" (which was dropped from the set almost a year prior, and is the last time the song is performed to date); and sporadic inclusion "The Trick Is to Keep Breathing" is performed for the final time in Vannes, France, the penultimate performance of the leg.[15]
For this final Version 2.0 tour leg, Garbage debuts "Silence is Golden", a brand new track initially written and recorded for the band's proposed 2000 B-sides and Remixes compilation (but eventually is reworked and released on the band's third album; and their James Bond theme song "The World is Not Enough" from the film of the same name which goes on general release during the concert run. While "Silence is Golden" returns on the bands third album tour, "The World is Not Enough" does not, and to date has not been performed again. "Medication" is also dropped by the band at the conclusion of this tour and it is not performed by Garbage again. Regular opening song "Temptation Waits" is moved back up into mid-set, while the band's 1997 Modern Rock Tracks chart-topper #1 Crush" is promoted to set opener each night, closely followed by the recently-returned "Supervixen". Garbage drop a number of songs from their set, including both "Queer" and "Not My Idea" for the first time; while "When I Grow Up" and "Only Happy When it Rains" are switched in position, the latter song becomes the final song of each night. On the last concert of the tour, which took place in Irvine, California, the band perform an extended encore, lengthening it with performances of their covers of "Thirteen" and "Supernatural", as well as their own "Trip My Wire" and "Not My Idea".[15]
