The 20 Years of Placebo world tour is confirmed – presale details
Placebo will celebrate their 20th anniversary with a world tour this year, kicking off in October.
Hitting the road in support of their platinum-selling, self-titled debut album, the iconic London rockers will play on home turf at The SSE Arena Wembley on 15 December 2016.
As for the setlist, frontman Brian Molko teases:
“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.”
