Part #1: The Placeboworld Current Gigs page has been updated and taken on a fantastic transformation!
Not only can you look up and find the date, details and support acts for forthcoming concerts, but you are provided with venue details, ticketing information and handy satellite images of the gig location powered by googlemaps. This feature is particularly handy for Placebo fans travelling far away from home to support their boys on the road.
Part #2: At last the Gig Archive is back! Right now you can access past dates for 2009 and 2007, with the band’s entire performance history to be added to the site over time.
Visitors have the opportunity to contribute their comments, memorabilia and pictures from gigs they’ve attended.
Be sure to contribute by scanning/photographing any tickets, set lists, photos, or by leaving comments about your favourite moments from past concerts you have attended. Eventually we’re going to have a great collaborative resource in our hands!

Ticketek have sold out of their allocation for Melbourne, and possibly some other venues, however you can still get tickets via the official Soundwave ticketing site, but do it fast! We hope to see as many Placebo fans there as possible!
I’ll be attending all 5 Soundwaves, and any sideshows announced with the Australian Street Team, taking photos of fans and handing out goodies. If you’d like to join us during our festivities, meet ups, or just become a part of the team online, check out our myspace // facebook // live journal.

Steve Hewitt has been busy making his album and keeping us fans updated with his forthcoming project on his various social networking pages.
You can now get up to the minute official news, direct from the man himself via:
In the latest installment Bean reveals some interesting information on vocalist for the group, “Now that the musical tracks were complete, it was time for me to put down my sticks and lay down the vocals, coming out from behind the kit and fronting these new songs. Backing vocals were provided by Onalle from Roni Size Reprazent and Emily Reid – my daughter.”
Be sure to follow his progress as in the next update he, will begin to introduce us to his new band. Keep the Faith!
