Placebo have never been a critic’s band. An outsider experience, being shunned by the cognoscenti probably suited them – it certainly hasn’t harmed them, building a two-decade catalogue of goth-tinged, eyeliner-strewn anthems that seem to speak directly to their dedicated, explicitly loyal fanbase…
In September, Placebo resurfaced from a long hibernation to release their first single in five years – and first from the new album - 'Beautiful James'. A joyous and celebratory song, it came quietly loaded with antagonism for the increasingly prominent, ignorant, factions that have come to litter modern conversation.
Placebo announce their first ever live album, Collapse Into Never: Placebo Live In Europe 2023.
With the 2003 release of the critically lauded album Sleeping With Ghosts, Placebo proved once again why they are widely hailed as one of the best acts in the game.
In a whirlwind year, they re-emerged as one of the most innovative and inspired bands around, playing to hundreds of thousands of rabid fans from America to Asia to Australia and all points of the globe.
Here in the US, the band completed two sold-out coast-to-coast tours and achieved sales figures not seen since 1998's breakthrough release Without You I'm Nothing.
Place for Us to Dream is a compilation album by the English alternative rock band Placebo. It was released on 7 October 2016, as part of the band's twentieth anniversary celebrations. It consists of 36 tracks, including songs off albums, single versions, radio edits, live performances and redux editions of previously released songs, as well as the 2016 single "Jesus' Son". The compilation includes all Placebo songs that have been released as singles, apart from "Burger Queen Français", "Twenty Years" and "The Never-Ending Why". "A place for us to dream" is a lyric from the song "Narcoleptic" on Placebo's third album, Black Market Music. The album cover is an iconic photo taken during the 2011 Vancouver Stanley Cup riot. Japanese release includes an exclusive disc - Live At Akasaka Blitz Tokyo 2010.
