Placebo - Live Reviews

Placebo: Wembley Arena, December 9th 2006. Arriving at the arena at 7pm, security checked our tickets and we found our seats, and we had a rather decent view of the stage. The first support band to kick off the show at 7.30 were the Howling Bells, a female fronted band. This band didn't do much for me, although they weren't that ...  Read the complete review

I saw Placebo at the Manchester Evening News Arena on 10th December 2006 and they were fantastic. Whilst waiting to be let in by the awful security guards, I was surrounded by what seemed to be every single emo teenage girl from Manchester, with one chav girl who was intimidating and awful to anyone who dared get in the way of her and ...  Read the complete review

It was a warm summer's day, a light and refreshing breeze ran through the streets of Oxford, it sparkled with glitter, blown from the bodies of a large fairy-winged mob, which had mustered outside the Zodiac night club.

Being a fan of placebo i was looking forward to seeing them at Leeds in Carling Weekend 2000 festival. It was raining, mud everywhere, people sodden wet but the only thing that wasnt dampened was their spirits. Placebo were awesome. Brian Molkos pouts at the pouring rain, his poses picturesque a born rockstar if ever i saw one. The set included ...  Read the complete review

Last night(Friday 20th October) I went to see Placebo at the Manchester Academy and it was the best night of my life! When I first arrived the queue to get into the Academy was enormous, it stretched along the entire street. The support band was Six By Seven, they were good although not a lot of people were paying much attention ...  Read the complete review

I love placebo ever since their debut on Top of the Pops as it was requseted by David Bowie for his Birthday. Watching the Fuel injected Brain Molko almost a drag queen play the filthy lyrics of nancy Boy to our Nation made me smile to myself. So when a year later after the first albums success I got to go to Glastonbury. Yes and it ...  Read the complete review

Placebo - Aberdeen Music Hall - 16th October 2000 Outside the Music Hall there was a queue of over 2000 all waiting to see Placebo and their support Six by Seven. The best thing of all was that this gig seemed to appeal to all with ages ranging from 10 to 60 queueing outside. The support band weren't bad but not many had ...  Read the complete review

The festival itself took place on the Bank holiday weekend in August. It was a bit of a wash-out but the fantastic line-up of bands and the highly elated atmosphere kept our spirits up and made for a truly enjoyable time. The first day was when we saw the above mentioned band. Not being a Placebo fan but very curious about how they performed we ...  Read the complete review
