Placebo « 30th Anniversary Tour »

Placebo brings their 30th Anniversary Tour to Madrid on 1 October 2026 at the Movistar Arena. Brian Molko and Stefan Olsdal celebrate three decades with a set that spans from their 1996 debut to their most recent work. The story began in the ’90s, when they were still called Ashtray Heart, and took shape with a sound that blends taut guitars, polished basslines and memorable melodies that stick without relying on theatricality.

Live, the band alternates early cuts like “Come Home” with pieces from key eras such as Sleeping with Ghosts and Loud Like Love, while also including more recent material. Molko’s drive and Olsdal’s precision sustain a stage production that aims for balance: updated arrangements, synth layers where appropriate, and an approach that prioritizes the songs. Having shared tours with the likes of Bowie and Depeche Mode, Placebo continue to move with the same logic: looking back to understand the present and pushing forward. Madrid welcomes them in a format conceived for live performance—without unnecessary embellishment and with the band at the centre.
