British band Placebo marks 30 years since debut album with Riga concert

The British alternative rock band Placebo gave a concert in Riga on the evening of Friday, 17 October. The performance was part of a tour with which the musicians are marking 30 years since the release of their debut album. The atmosphere of the show was captured in photographs by Kārlis Dambrāns, a photographer for the news portal Delfi.
Anniversary tour
The core of the band consists of Brian Molko and Stefan Olsdal. This year the two are celebrating three decades since their first album came out, and they have set out on tour to mark the occasion. The Riga concert was one of its stops.
Well-known songs
Over three decades, Placebo has become one of the most recognisable British alternative rock groups. Its repertoire includes songs such as "Every You Every Me", "Pure Morning", "The Bitter End", "Special Needs", "Meds" and "Song to Say Goodbye".
Fans as part of the image
Over the years, the band's listeners have also become part of its image. Some fans have tried to resemble the group's frontman, Brian Molko. Whether such spectators were also at Friday's concert in Riga can be discovered by looking through the photographs taken by Kārlis Dambrāns.
The photo report offers a glimpse of the concert for those who did not see the show in person, and a reminder of the evening for those who did.
