Placebo do December shows

Fri 29th May, 2009 in International News

Sadly, Christmas won’t be coming early for Placebo’s Australian fans. The trio has just announced a round of UK arena shows for December – ruling them out as a chance for, err…Meredith Music Festival?

Kicking off in Birmingham, they’ll make their way to Dublin via a gargantuan show at London’s O2 Arena. Warming the stage at each stop will be those British reprobates The Horrors, who have just delivered a fine second album Primary Colours (sue, Eddy Current, sue).

As for Placebo, the long-awaited Battle For The Sun arrives next Friday 5 June. There’s still a gap in their schedule that could be filled by Splendour In The Grass, but it’s wishful thinking. Next year then?
