Placebo can exclusively announce they will play 3 intimate UK warm up dates in May ahead of their summer festival appearances!

[smiley4999]

i'd quite like to see them.

However Turkey to Greece, fair enough. Turkey to the UK to Greece can't really see it.

[ArcticMonkeysUK]

Its £25 plus booking fees for a ticket to the UK gigs (ive got priority with 02)

[mike99]

I'd rather fellate a frozen turd than pay to see those whoppers

[russycarps]

It seems everone else thinks this. Itimate dates for Placebo still onsale. Sheffield and Bournemouth Still onsale

[russycarps]

Going to see these at Leeds, not at all comforted by all of the negative comments about them live though D: Are they really that bad?

Don't reckon there's any chance of them playing Glasto to be honest, anyway.

They aren't the best band for choosing a proper setlist for the occasion. Shit at Reading a few years back with only about 2 old songs in the set.

Saw em on a tour in Cambridge too a few years ago and the singer was getting the crowd to chant a stop the war chant. Cock!

[richybear]

Don't feel as though they are a glasto type band so can't see them playing, meaning they are a bit heavy like

Might be wrong but i don't think i am lol

[popcornmaster]

no - don't listen to this bunch of idiots. Musically, they're really tight live and will probably astound you. Don't expect much in the way of crowd interaction, though - that's not part of their show. Sometimes they can be a touch disappointing at festivals; they're admittedly much better when playing to their own audience.

Seen them live twice and they're absoloutely amazing

Yeah, they've have a couple of shit albums (Black Market Music and Meds) but they've also release some bloody good records. When I saw them at Reading in 2006 their equipment failed and they had to go offstage for 20 minutes and people waited so patiently and it was weird because any other band would have almost certainly been booed and jeered but they came back on and play an absoloutely amazing set.

They'd be good if they played "pure morning" then walked off and didn't play anything else..

[BruisePristine]

Crowd interaction was quite good at the MEN gig i went to, Stefan got everyone to sing happy birthday to Brian

[ramragon]

liked a single or 2 about 6 years ago, got no real interest in seeing them now tho

[dacbo]

they better not be an other stage headliner

dunno reading the article its not them that says they're playing Glastonbury, and all the actual quotes from the band afterwards are about reading and no mention of Glastonbury

[BruisePristine]

I'm still not entirely convinced this is going to happen. but if it does then cool - will be placebo gig no. 13 for me!

[mike99]

They have the Friday and Sunday free of Glastonbury. I dont think its likely now but who knows
