COLOMBIA · MUSIC

Placebo Bogotá 2027 tickets are on sale through Tuboleta for the band’s 30th anniversary show at Movistar Arena on Thursday 11 March 2027.

The British alt-rock band plays Colombia’s capital with doors at 6:00 PM and the show at 9:30 PM. All-in prices run from about COP 189,000 to 721,000 (about US$58 to US$223) including service fees.

Who Placebo are, for newcomers

Placebo are a British alternative rock band built around two members, singer and guitarist Brian Molko and bassist Stefan Olsdal. Their self-titled debut album came out in 1996.

Their sound mixes guitar-driven rock with a dark, melodic edge. If you grew up with 1990s and 2000s alternative radio, you will probably know the name.

Colombia is not new to them. According to Publimetro, the band played Bogotá in 2007 at the Palacio de los Deportes and in 2010 at the Gran Salón de Corferias.

They also appeared at the Estéreo Picnic Festival in 2024. Publimetro describes a relationship of about 20 years with Colombian fans.

The 30th anniversary tour and why this date matters

The tour marks 30 years since that 1996 debut. Publimetro says the set leans on the band’s early years.

NME frames it slightly differently. It describes the run as a celebration of the first two albums, Placebo (1996) and Without You I’m Nothing (1998).

Either way, expect the older material to feature. Publimetro also mentions “Placebo Re:Created”, a project of new studio recordings of ten songs from the debut album.

How much of it appears on stage has not been announced. Bogotá is one stop on a ten-date Latin American leg reported by NME.

For travellers elsewhere in the region, the nearby dates are useful:São Paulo on 20 February, Brasília on 23 February, Curitiba on 26 February, Porto Alegre on 28 February, Buenos Aires on 3 March, Santiago on 6 March and Lima on 9 March. After Bogotá come Guadalajara on 16 March and Monterrey on 18 March.

All dates are in 2027.

The venue, the times and the rules

The concert is at Movistar Arena in Bogotá. Tuboleta lists it as “El Corazón de Bogotá – Arena (Movistar Arena)”.

NME and Publimetro both use the name Movistar Arena, so it is one venue. Doors open at 6:00 PM and the show starts at 9:30 PM, according to Tuboleta.

Arriving early gives you time for entry checks. The minimum age is 14.

Tuboleta lists sectors 206, 214, 306 and 314 as alcohol-free zones for minors, so check your sector before buying if you travel with teenagers. Publimetro names Páramo Presenta as the promoter.

Tuboleta’s listing names Promotora Colombia S.A.S. We could not confirm how the two are related, so keep your Tuboleta confirmation as your proof of purchase.

Planning the trip

Our research did not cover transport to the arena, hotels or entry rules. Check current Colombian entry requirements for your passport before booking flights.

The show starts late, so plan your return before you go. Ask your hotel or host which options are sensible at night.

If you are already on the road, Lima on 9 March and Guadalajara on 16 March bracket the Bogotá date. A two-country trip is possible for fans following the tour through the region.
