Placebo are playing their place

Placebo would be an awesome addition and this is shaping very nicely.

[Spiral_Low]

what do u mean by that?

i know that sonisphere (UK) is some days earlier. but are they really playing 5-7 days later already in JAPAN? i thought NIN would stay a bit longer in europe.. because NIN gets some new tour-dates for the US announed soon (with jane's addiction) which will last until july and therefore it would not be reasonable if they play in UK at teh beginning of august and suddenly after that in japan

like all bands, they'll be chasing the money.

PLACEBO mate i couldnt be more excited.

Neil is there any ounce of truth in the muse rumours??

many thanks!

[t8yman]

f**kin brilliant news. was hoping for this!

and as for the 1 week gap - so what? a week to get from europe to japan is nothing.

nin wont be doing anything else in europe i bet.

[eFestivals]

I believe that there is not one iota of truth in the Muse rumours, but I could be proven wrong I guess.

[t8yman]

I doubt Bellamy's ego would allow him to play second to anyone!

[TYLER_4]

thanks for clearing it up

was hoping more than anything to be honest.

still placebo hoping theyre announced soon

Whether or not it's for one show or not, the info I've had that NIN are playing the UK show is from the same source who told efestivals who the headliners were (since confirmed), and who the under-card are (since confirmed).

So it's exceedingly likely to be true that they're playing.

[eFestivals]

will this rule them out of reading festival?

I would think so, yup.

[TYLER_4]

is there supposed to be an announcement this morning?!

[eFestivals]

yep, I think there is .... if it's not today, it's tomorrow (we got a mail from one of the PRs yesterday, saying when the next announcement is, tho I forget exactly what they said).
