Hotels for Placebo - 30th Anniversary Tour

Thirty years into a career built on smudged eyeliner and songs about wanting more than the life you were handed, this tour finds the band looking back without going soft. Expect a set pulled from across three decades, leaning on the records that made bedrooms feel less lonely for a certain kind of teenager.

The crowd will span people who bought the early singles first time round and those who found them later through an older sibling's CDs. A Saturday night show like this tends to run long, with the kind of singalongs that surprise people who came expecting to just stand and watch.

Right in the centre of Nottingham near the castle and the historic Lace Market, the Motorpoint Arena hosts concerts, sport and family shows in a genuinely walkable setting. Cafés, bars and restaurants surround it, with the city's nightlife just streets away. Nottingham station and the NET tram network sit close by, linking the arena to the wider East Midlands. Booking a central room lets you enjoy the city before a show and be back at your door in minutes once it wraps up.
