Thirty years after their debut, Placebo are going back to their roots. Live Nation announced today, 18 March 2026, the only Italian date of the 30th Anniversary Tour: Friday 6 November 2026 at the Unipol Forum in Milan.
The show
The tour celebrates thirty years of the album Placebo, released in 1996. The setlist is built on the first two records, Placebo and Without You I’m Nothing, and brings back to the stage songs the band had not played live for more than twenty years. The tour starts in Portugal, crosses Europe and ends in the United Kingdom, for a total of 36 dates.
The new record: Placebo RE:CREATED
The tour accompanies Placebo RE:CREATED, out on 19 June 2026: new versions of every song on the first album, including Nancy Boy and 36 Degrees, plus two bonus tracks. The record was recreated by Brian Molko and Rob Kirwan from the original tapes and mixed by Adam Noble; the band describes it as a kind of director’s cut.
