Placebo Tour North America in the Fall

Placebo have stormed the worldwide album charts with the release of their latest record "Battle for the Sun" and announce their highly anticipated North American tour beginning Saturday, September 12 in Portland, Oregon at Roseland Theatre.

The month-long trek includes a stop in Los Angeles, California on Sunday, September 20 as the band heads south with a Mexico City date planned for September 30. The tour wraps up in New York City with a performance scheduled for Sunday, October 11 at Terminal 5.

We want to thank everyone who bought 'Battle For The Sun' and pushed us higher in the US charts than ever before, commented the band. It's a buzz for us and we look forward to coming over to play for you in September.

The bands sixth studio album, Battle For The Sun, entered the charts at number one in nine countries including a first ever number one in Germany and top fives in twenty countries. Significantly though, the band have had their first ever Billboard Top 100 placing in the US at #51, selling more in their first week than the last album, Meds, sold in its first two weeks of release.

The result speaks for itself, with Battle for the Sun out-performing all previous chart positions in Placebos 13-year history.

The UK trios first single in the US, For What Its Worth continues to be a Top 20 record at Modern Rock stations nationwide, with Rolling Stone calling it a sleazy, sex-crazed disco burner. Alternative Press said Battle For The Sun takes the best elements of their sound and focuses it into a cohesive listening experience theres no filler to be found, while Entertainment Weekly added that Battle is stocked with hard-charging riffs.
