Placebo's 30th Anniversary Tour plays five UK arenas from 28 November to 7 December 2026: sale status and resale prices by date.

Updated 5 Nov 2026

Placebo's 30th Anniversary Tour, as Ticketmaster UK bills it, visits five UK arenas in ten days. It opens at Motorpoint Arena Nottingham on Saturday 28 November 2026, moves on to Glasgow and Manchester, plays OVO Arena Wembley in London on Saturday 5 December and finishes at Utilita Arena Cardiff on Monday 7 December.

Three of the five are now sold out at Ticketmaster UK. Wembley and Cardiff had gone by 21 October, and Nottingham, then down to low availability, was sold out when the artist page was read again on 28 October. Glasgow and Manchester were still on sale that day.

Resale seats listed on Hellotickets start from £69 across the 5 dates.

The tour's next stop: Placebo on Saturday 28 November.

How to get Placebo tickets

UK tour dates 2026/27

The run is built around two weekends. Nottingham opens it on Saturday 28 November, Glasgow's OVO Hydro follows on Monday 30 November, and Co-op Live hosts the band on Friday 4 December. London comes the next night, Saturday 5 December, and Cardiff closes the tour two days later. Four of the shows are listed at 6.30pm; Wembley is the exception, at 6pm. There is no matinée.

Wembley: the arena, not the stadium

The London date is at OVO Arena Wembley, formerly the SSE Arena Wembley, a Grade II listed building next to Wembley Stadium on Arena Square. Wembley Park station, on the Jubilee and Metropolitan lines, is the closest, about a 10-minute walk, and Wembley Central is a little further. If you drive, the venue advises booking a space in the official Wembley Park event car parks in advance.

Nottingham, Glasgow, Manchester and Cardiff

Motorpoint Arena Nottingham is part of the National Ice Centre in the Lace Market. Its main entrances are on Bolero Square and, by lift, on Lower Parliament Street, and the Lace Market tram stop is about five minutes away. At the Hydro, on the Scottish Event Campus, most seats on Levels 2 and 3 can only be reached by stairs, so anyone with mobility difficulties should book the dedicated accessible areas.

Co-op Live is on the Etihad Campus next to Manchester City's stadium, where other events on the campus can lengthen journeys, and nobody under sixteen is allowed on its standing floor. Utilita Arena Cardiff, on Mary Ann Street, is a few minutes' walk from Cardiff Central and Queen Street and has no on-site parking for audiences.

Prices by venue and section

The two dates still on general sale started lowest on the resale market at the last check, Manchester first and then Glasgow. Nottingham and Cardiff started at much the same level, and Wembley, sold out, started highest of the five.

Where listings begin depends on the arena. At Co-op Live the upper tier opened the market, with floor standing sitting between the two lower-tier listings. In Glasgow, Level 2 Rear seats came first and standing was barely above them, with Level 2 Front at the top; blocks 237 and 238, at the back of that level, were listed separately.

In Nottingham, seats in the tiers opened the market and standing started highest. Wembley and Cardiff work the other way round, with a standing area or general admission opening the market, and in Cardiff the tiered seats started far above the standing floor.

Ticketmaster UK lists Venue Premium packages as separate events, so hospitality is priced on its own. While Glasgow and Manchester remain on sale, the official seller is usually the cheaper route. On Hellotickets, sellers set their own prices, which can be above face value, and the final price is shown before you pay.

How tickets are sold

All five dates are sold through Ticketmaster UK, where the tour is listed as Placebo - 30th Anniversary Tour. The sale went in two stages:

  1. Presales. Ticketmaster UK listed five of them: an Artist Presale, an OVO Presale, a Gigs in Scotland Presale, a Co-op Presale and a Venue Presale.
  2. General sale. It opened on 27 March 2026 at 9am UK time, so no presale is still to come.

On 28 October, Ticketmaster UK's artist page showed Glasgow (30 November) and Manchester (4 December) on sale, and Nottingham (28 November), Wembley (5 December) and Cardiff (7 December) sold out; Nottingham had been at low availability a week earlier. A sold-out flag at Ticketmaster UK means no standard tickets are left there; only VIP packages and Verified Resale listings remain, if any. On 3 November the Cardiff page showed no standard tickets, only VIP packages and Verified Resale tickets.

Official resale and entry

Co-op Live says Ticketmaster Ticket Exchange, at face value or less, is the resale platform it endorses. At the Hydro your phone is your ticket, and screenshots are not accepted at the door.

For Nottingham, Wembley and Cardiff, resale is now the main route. In Hellotickets' words, “Every ticket is authenticated. If there's ever an issue, you're protected by our refund policy.” Tickets are sent as soon as Hellotickets receives them from the seller, sometimes up to 1–2 days before the event.

Frequently asked questions

How much are Placebo tickets?

Glasgow and Manchester were still on sale at Ticketmaster UK on 28 October, so face value is available there. Resale seats listed on Hellotickets start from £69 across the tour. Manchester and Glasgow started lowest and the sold-out Wembley night highest; sellers set their own prices, which can be above face value.

When do tickets go on sale?

The general sale opened on 27 March 2026 at 9am UK time, after Artist, OVO, Gigs in Scotland, Co-op and Venue presales. Every date is therefore already on sale or sold out: Glasgow and Manchester were still available at Ticketmaster UK on 28 October, while Nottingham, Wembley and Cardiff had sold out.

Is it sold out?

Three dates are. Motorpoint Arena Nottingham on Saturday 28 November, OVO Arena Wembley on Saturday 5 December and Utilita Arena Cardiff on Monday 7 December were all sold out at Ticketmaster UK on 28 October. Glasgow and Manchester were still on sale that day. For the sold-out nights, resale seats listed on Hellotickets are the alternative.

Where are Placebo playing in London?

At OVO Arena Wembley, the arena next to Wembley Stadium, on Saturday 5 December 2026, listed at 6pm. Wembley Park station is the closest, about a 10-minute walk. The date was sold out at Ticketmaster UK at the last check, so resale is the route for that night.

What presales were there for the Placebo tour?

Ticketmaster UK listed an Artist Presale, an OVO Presale, a Gigs in Scotland Presale, a Co-op Presale and a Venue Presale before the general sale, which opened on 27 March 2026 at 9am UK time. With the general sale open since March, no further presale is listed for these dates.
