Placebo confirm 20th anniversary UK arena tour
See them at eight arenas this coming December
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of their platinum selling eponymous debut album, Placebo have announced a sizable UK arena tour this winter.
Part of a much larger world tour, Placebo will play the following shows on home turf:
DECEMBER 2016 Glasgow SSE Hydro – 2nd Leeds First Direct Arena – 3rd Manchester Arena – 5th Nottingham Motorpoint Arena – 6th Birmingham Barclaycard Arena – 8th Newport Centre – 12th Brighton Centre – 14th London SSE Wembley Arena – 15th
Singer Brian Molko says: “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 go on sale from Kerrang! Radio Tickets at 9am on Friday 18th March.
