In the framework of its world tour "20 Years of Placebo" the band will give a gig in the New Arena, St. Petersburg, on October 24; and the Olympic Sport Complex, Moscow, on October 26.

      On this tour the band gives concerts only in the capital cities of every European country. Exceptions are few: mini-tours are planned across Germany and England, two concerts were given in Denmark, now Placebo is coming to Russia for two gigs as well.

      The band's Russian fans are preparing a huge cake as a gift for the 20th anniversary of Placebo. Flashmobs are expected as well: large lit up baloons will fly in the concert halls. It is already for the 10th time Placebo is coming to Russia.
