“I think it’s time that we purposefully acknowledged what a lot of Placebo fans really want to hear.
“They’ve been very patient with us since we rarely play our most commercially successful material.
“A 20-year anniversary tour seems like the right time to do so. That’s our intention.

“So, if you want to see us play songs like Pure Morning and Nancy Boy which we haven’t played in almost ten years and may not play again, then you’d better come along to these shows! We’ll have some surprises in there too.”
