I had the chance to catch up with Placebo on the current US tour out at Marquee Theatre. What an amazing show. I can honestly say I’ve never heard of them until this show but I am glad I had the chance to catch it.
As the stage beams with a tinted blue light, and the warped introductory sounds of ‘Forever Chemicals,’ play, and Molko makes his way onto stage. A rapid segue into recent single ‘Beautiful James’ spurs the crowd into an early singalong, though it’s short-lived. Indeed, the backbone of tonight’s set is Never Let Me Go in almost its entirety, as well as a handful of deeper cuts from across the band’s career. Everyone in the top deck is swaying in their seats as Placebo exude emasculate energy across the venue. All and all it was an amazing night filled with great energy, a great set list and even better light show.
Placebo also brought Poppy Jean Crawford on this current run in which you can find photos from both bands below.
