Legendary alt-rockers Placebo are to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the release of their self-titled platinum selling debut album by heading out on a World tour in October. Kicking off in Denmark on October 13th, the tour passes through the UK in December for a handful of dates. Singer 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.”
Further dates will for 2017 will be revealed later, but for these dates they’ve partnered with Ticketmaster to allow fans a special 48 Hour pre-sale to secure their tickets for the shows. The fan pre-sale will begin at 9am on Wednesday 16th March, with the general sale tickets going live at 9am on Friday 18th March. Nire details at HTTP://WWW.APLACEFORUSTODREAM.COM/
