Placebo announce Australia tour

Placebo have announced their first Australian headline tour in 11 years, set to take place in September.

The band will celebrate the 20th anniversary of their self-titled debut album with shows in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Newcastle and Canberra between September 4 and 14.

Lead singer Brian Molko commented "We’re happy to be coming back to Australia this September to deliver fans something extra special. 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.”
