for all those who have not yet had the pleasure of attending one of Placebo's concerts on this new 2022 tour, we share with you the concert review our soulmate GaΓ«lle Fuchs kindly sent to us.
It's about the last Placebo concert on May 27th at Bearded Theory's Spring Gathering festival, Derbyshire, UK.
Enjoy it!

“This gig felt like the first normal Placebo gig after the small ones and the stadium openings.
They seemed in a very good mood, Brian making jokes along the way and Stef playing with the different sides of the crowd to make them scream louder.
They also kept making us clap and sign of a good gig: "It's in the special way we fuck" very loud during Post Blue.
The setlist was a mix of the past 2 setlists with, very sadly, One Of A Kind missing...

To say "Hi" to the audience Brian used the classic "Look at all the people here tonight" which was fun.
He introduced Kitty Litter by making a joke about it being one of his favourite thing to eat and suddenly out of nowhere between 2 songs said "I can smell weed".
They also paid tribute to Fletch from Depeche Mode, saying they woke up with very sad sudden news this week and that Fletch was a close friend who was a very genuine and kind person. They dedicated "Went Missing" to him.
I tried to be quick at taking 3 pictures during Hugz (probably took me 10 seconds max) but the girl next to me kept filming/taking pictures.
So at some point Brian pointed at her and asked her if she could stop because it was putting him off. Which made me laugh, so I got a "I saw you too" from Brian as punishmentoops.
To be honest, if he had taken Hugz of the setlist (which I really don't like) I probably would not have taken any pics.
Conclusion: better setlist Brian, thanks. Anyway my personal highlights were to have Sad White Reggae back on the setlist and the incredible energy they had and my down points where to have Hugz, Too Many Friends and Try Better Next Time in the set.”
