British rock band Placebo performed at Xiaomi Arena in Riga on 16 October. The group has visited Latvia several times before, but this concert was different: the audience was asked not to film or photograph it.
The aim of the request was to let listeners return together to the atmosphere of the 1990s, the decade when the band released its first two albums, "Placebo" and "Without You I'm Nothing".
A review published by Latvian public media LSM concludes that the idea worked excellently. The source does not give further details about the setlist or attendance.
