It seems Placebo was a little hasty in revealing its Soundwave sideshow schedule, with a slightly different announcement coming from the festival. Contrary to the band’s website, they’ll be playing the stately Enmore Theatre in Sydney, not Hordern Pavilion. FasterLouder is proud to present these shows.

Brian Molko and co. are always rapturously received in these parts, so expect both shows to sell swiftly. Placebo will also be taking the stage at Soundwave alongside Faith No More, My Chemical Romance and Jane’s Addiction.

Check out the high-sheen videos from Pink Pop Festival 2009 below for an idea of how the live show is sounding with new man Steve Forrest behind the kit.

Placebo play this pair of Soundwave sideshows in February, presented by FasterLouder. Tickets on sale Thursday 19 November.

Monday 22 February – Melbourne, Festival Hall
Wednesday 24 February – Sydney, Enmore Theatre [Licensed All Ages]
