Placebo to mark 20th Anniversary with world tour that will stop in Dublin

Placebo will mark the 20th anniversary of their eponymous debut album by embarking on an extensive world tour later this year.

They’ll be stopping by the 3Arena on December 10.

In a statement, frontman Brian Molko revealed that the tour’s setlist would encompass songs that the rockers haven’t played for fans in over a decade.

Read Molko’s full statement below:

“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.”
