Hotels for Placebo - 30th Anniversary Tour

Three decades on from their first releases, this tour marks a milestone anniversary for a band built on brooding guitars and androgynous glam-rock swagger. Expect a set drawing from across their catalogue, pitched deliberately at long-term fans who have followed the group since the nineties. A Monday evening slot means an early start for anyone travelling any distance, with doors well ahead of the 6. 30pm kick-off. The mood inside tends toward devotion rather than nostalgia alone, with a crowd that knows every lyric.

In the centre of Cardiff, this long-running indoor arena hosts concerts, comedy and family shows within easy reach of the capital's bars, shopping and the castle. The walkable centre puts restaurants and nightlife all around, with the waterfront of Cardiff Bay a short distance further. Cardiff Central and Queen Street stations link the arena across the city and region. Staying centrally lets you enjoy the city before a show and stroll back to your room once the night is done, no transport required.
