Placebo

Following news of their long-awaited 8th studio album Never Let Me Go, Placebo have announced a major headline UK tour in 2022 with support, Cruel Hearts Club.

"Dear Placebo fans,

We would like to kindly ask you NOT to spend the concert filming or taking photos with your mobile phones. It makes Placebo's performance so much more difficult. More difficult to connect with you and to communicate effectively the emotions of the songs. It is also disrespectful to your fellow concert-goers who want to watch the show, not the back of your phone. Please be here and now in the present and enjoy the moment. Because this exact moment will never ever happen again. Our purpose is to create communion & transcendence. Please help us on our mission. With respect and love. 

Peace.

Brian and Stefan"

Nine years on from the release of their last outing Loud Like Love, Never Let Me Go takes Placebo to a thrilling new breadth of sound and style.

As great masters in cataloguing the human condition, Placebo’s unique way of examining both its flaws and beauty finds fertile ground in 2021. Crawling out of the pandemic into a landscape of intolerance, division, tech-saturation and imminent eco-catastrophe, theirs is a voice that has rarely felt more significant to contemporary discourse, and more appropriate to sing these stories to the world.

After more than a quarter-century together and an unmistakable back catalogue, Placebo are on fire once again.
