This year marks the 20th anniversary of Placebo’s self-titled debut platinum-selling album and the band promises a setlist spanning their whole back catalogue giving fans a dose of what they long for.

“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 see these shows! We’ll have some surprises in there too,” Brian Molko said.
