Who Placebo Are and What RE:CREATED Means

The RE:CREATED tour marks 30 years since that debut and draws on a reworked version of the album. The Brazilian dates also include songs from the second album, Without You I’m Nothing, released in 1998.

Entry Rules and What to Bring

The rating is open to all ages. Children up to 15 may enter only with a parent, a guardian, or another adult holding written permission signed by a parent.

Children up to 24 months enter free if they stay on a guardian’s lap. The rating can change by court decision, so check the ticket page before you go.
