Placebo Announce UK And Ireland 20th Anniversary Shows
Monday, 14 March 2016
Written by Huw Baines
Placebo will celebrate 20 years since the release of their debut with an anniversary tour.
The band will head to Glasgow, Leeds, Manchester, Nottingham, Birmingham, Dublin, Newport, Brighton and London, promising a career-spanning set with a few lesser-played hits in the mix. In a statement, Brian Molko said:
“Let's just say there will be songs in the set that I've sworn never to play again. I think it's time that we purposefully acknowledged what a lot of Placebo fans really want to hear. They've been very patient with us since we rarely play our most commercially successful material. A 20 year anniversary tour seems like the right time to do so. That's our intention. This tour is very much for the fans and a chance for us to revisit a lot of our early material. So, if you want to see us play songs like 'Pure Morning’ and 'Nancy Boy’ which we haven't played in almost ten years and may not play again, then you'd better come along to these shows! We'll have some surprises in there too."
Tickets are on sale at 9am on March 18.
