Placebo have announced the Placebo Live box set – an extensive collection of career-spanning performances captured in Mexico, Spain and London.

Remarkably, more than 25 years in their career, the set includes the first live album that band have ever released - Collapse Into Never: Placebo Live In Europe 2023.

This also marks the first time that any live performances from the band have been made available on vinyl. Across the whole collection, vinyl, Blu-Ray and CD formats are catered to from three special live sets titled Collapse Into Never, This Is What You Wanted and Live From The White Room. Each was recorded in the last year and a half as the band toured the world in support of new album Never Let Me Go.

PLACEBO LIVE limited edition box set will be released on 15.12.23.
It includes a double coloured vinyl, a Blu Ray DVD, CD and poster. The most complete LIVE offering is available to pre-order now. https://t.co/jPHmqAowJE pic.twitter.com/5o4jImIxnE

Collapse Into Never, recorded live at Low Festival in Spain, comes as a clear double-vinyl gatefold. This Is What You Wanted was recorded live in Mexico City and the extended set is included here on Blu-Ray. Live From The White Room, recorded at Studio 1 Twickenham Studios, brings seven songs from the band's acclaimed new album Never Let Me Go to life and is presented in a softpak gatefold CD.

The box set features songs from their eponymous debut Placebo, Black Market Music, Sleeping With Ghosts, Battle For The Sun, and Loud Like Love. Beloved fan-favourite covers such as Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill" and Tears For Fears' "Shout" also feature.

Collapse Into Never, This Is What You Wanted and Live From The White Room are set for release on 15 December via SO Recordings.
