Tickets go on general sale next Friday, March 27 at 9am local time.<\/p>\n<p>Before then, the band will release their new Placebo RE:CREATED album \u2013 a totally reworked version of their debut \u2013 on June 19 via Elevator Lady Ltd through AWAL. \u201cWe think of this record as a director\u2019s cut,\u201d they share. \u201cWe haven\u2019t recreated it from scratch. We went back to the original master tapes and brought 30 years of playing these songs live back into the record.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis project was about finally finishing the record, dragging it into the 21st century sonically, while preserving the integrity and the spirit of the original. It\u2019s not about improving it, there\u2019s nothing wrong with it, it\u2019s about completing it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we made the first album, we didn\u2019t yet have the experience or the studio knowledge to fully translate what was in our heads. Over the years, the songs took on a life of their own onstage; they grew, they developed, they kind of completed themselves.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a celebration of where we began, and a meeting point between who we were then and who we are now. It\u2019s a way of honouring that innocence, while letting the songs exist with the scale, confidence and energy of the band we\u2019ve become.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Catch them live at the following:<\/p>\n<p>Placebo 30th anniversary European and UK tour<\/p>\n<p>September<\/p>\n<p>28 Oporto Super Bock Arena<br \/>29 Lisbon Sagres Campo Pequeno<\/p>\n<p>October <\/p>\n<p>1 Madrid Movistar Arena (The Ring)<br \/>3 Barcelona St. Jordi Club<br \/>5 Toulouse Zenith<br \/>7 Nantes Zenith<br \/>9 Esch-sur-Alzette Rockhal<br \/>12 Leipzig Quarterback Immobilien Arena<br \/>15 Vilnius Twinsbet Arena<br \/>16 Riga Xiaomi Ar\u0113na<br \/>18 Helsinki Veikkaus Arena<br \/>20 Stockholm Annexet<br \/>22 Oslo Spektrum<br \/>24 Copenhagen KB Hall<br \/>26 Hamburg Barclays Arena<br \/>27 Amsterdam Ziggo Dome<br \/>29 Frankfurt Festhalle<\/p>\n<p>November<\/p>\n<p>1 Antwerp Afas Dome<br \/>2 Cologne Lanxess Arena<br \/>4 Zurich Hallenstadion<br \/>6 Milan Unipol Forum<br \/>9 Munich Olympiahalle<br \/>10 Vienna Stadthalle<br \/>13 Budapest Arena<br \/>15 Prague Fortuna Sports Hall<br \/>16 Berlin Uber Arena<br \/>18 Lodz Atlas Arena<br \/>21 Stuttgart Hans-Martin-Schleyer-Halle<br \/>23 Lyon LDLC Arena<br \/>25 Paris Accor Arena<br \/>28 Nottingham NIC Arena<br \/>30 Glasgow OVO Hydro<\/p>\n<p>December<\/p>\n<p>2 Dublin 3 Arena<br \/>4 Manchester Co-op Live Arena<br \/>5 London OVO Wembley Arena<br \/>7 Cardiff Utilita Arena<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Placebo have announced a huge 30th anniversary headline tour.
