T-Bay Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Ah crap, but one of those things. You can't sing with a throat infection after all :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 (edited) Shame but think they could have found another band who look and sound the same...? Edited October 19, 2017 by yorks5stringer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gafbass02 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 (edited) I missed out on Swindon too. Gutted but unavoidable, I know this particularly as a singer and former singer in a short lived placebo tribute band!!

[/quote] I see what you've done there. Unfortunate choice of band name in this instance. I hope they recover their schedule and manage to cover their losses. It isn't all that great for the fans either but my thoughts are with the band. http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/15599254.Placebo_cancel_Tuesday_s_Swindon_gig_at_the_Oasis/: From the article - "The band have temporarily halted their 20 Years of Placebo tour while lead singer Brian Molko sees a specialist and finds out what's causing the vocal issues." Have they really been on tour for twenty years? How does that work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bay Posted October 20, 2017 Author Share Posted October 20, 2017 Not impressed with communication from the venue though, I only found out as my mate and fellow attendee lives nearby and was checking up about tickets for something else when he noticed. I hope no one travels down expecting to see them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cato Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 (edited) I saw Placebo 3 years ago at the Birmingham Academy. That was the gig that triggered my decsision, after 3 days of ear ringing, to start wearing earplugs for live music.

It has been rescheduled for the 21st of November, not bad but I have a twelve hour day at work finishing at 6pm and a gig on Friday before going to see Royal Blood on Saturday, I think will be knackered by Sunday!
