THE LIVE SHOW
What Placebo concerts are like
A Placebo concert is moody and intense. The band plays with a large backline of touring musicians, and the lighting is dark and dramatic. The set tends to focus heavily on newer material, with a handful of older songs such as Every You Every Me, The Bitter End and Song to Say Goodbye.
The band has repeatedly asked fans not to film or photograph shows on their phones, and signs and screen messages remind the audience to keep phones away. The atmosphere is focused as a result, and fans who come for only the early hits sometimes find the set list surprising.
Tips for the St Herblain show
- Keep your phone in your pocket; the band asks fans not to film, and staff may remind you.
- Expect a set built around newer albums rather than a greatest hits show.
New to the music? Without You I'm Nothing and Never Let Me Go together show both the classic and recent sides of the band.

Getting to ZENITH NANTES METROPOLE
ZENITH NANTES METROPOLE is the venue for Placebo's St Herblain show. The listed address is ZAC AR MOR, St Herblain. Check the venue's entry times and bag policy before the day, and plan your route home in advance, as large concerts often finish when public transport is at its busiest.
Travelling to St Herblain for the concert
A Wednesday date usually means less competition for rooms than at the weekend, but getting home the same night after a weekday concert is hard, so staying over is the safer plan.
With a 20:00 start, the show will end late in the evening. Check the last train or bus back to where you are staying before you set off, and fly in the day before so a delayed flight does not cost you the concert.
