Placebo Concert in Riga Held With a Request for No Filming or Photos
British rock band Placebo performed at Xiaomi Arena in Riga on 16 October. The audience was asked not to film or photograph the show so everyone could return together to the atmosphere of the 1990s, and an LSM review says this worked very well.
British rock band Placebo gave a concert at Xiaomi Arena in Riga on 16 October. The group has visited Latvia several times before, but this show differed from earlier ones: the audience was asked not to film or photograph it.
The aim was to let everyone return together to the atmosphere of the 1990s. That was when the band's first two albums, "Placebo" and "Without You I'm Nothing", were released.
A review by LSM Culture, the culture section of Latvia's public broadcaster, concludes that the idea succeeded very well. The review's headline describes the evening as two hours outside of time.
The available information contains no further details about the songs performed or the number of attendees.
