Placebo Pull Out Of Perth Gig At The Last Minute

Staff Writer

Promoters release statement.

More Placebo Placebo

Placebo were forced to call off the first show of their Australian tour in Perth at the last minute on Monday night due to illness.

Perth Arena made the announcement just after 8.30pm (AWST) on its social media handles. 

A statement issued by the tour promoter last night reads, "Placebo regretfully advise that they are unable to perform tonight’s concert at Perth Arena due to illness.

"Promoter TEG Live has requested that fans retain their tickets until more information is available.

"The band hope to make it up to their Perth fans as soon as possible."

Placebo are yet to make a statement on last night's cancellation. 

The tour is scheduled to resume in Adelaide tomorrow night; click on theGuide for more details.
