According to nme.com, musical duo Placebo have announced details of their first ever live album box set called Placebo Live. The release of the upcoming box set marks the first time that the band have shared a live album during their entire 25 year career. Placebo Live also marks the first time that any live performances from the band have been made available on vinyl and the box set is comprised of performances captured during the shows in Mexico, Spain and London.

The full live album included in the box set is titled Collapse Into Never: Placebo Live In Europe 2023 and it was recorded live at the Low Festival in Spain earlier this year. The album also consists of  a clear double vinyl gatefold. The two other live sets in Placebo Live include performances from the band’s show in Mexico City over the summer called This Is What You Wanted and their sessions at the Studio One recording rooms in Twickenham.

The latter is under the title Live From The White Room and is comprised of seven songs from the band’s 2022 album Never Let Me Go. The latter is also presented as a softpak gatefold CD, whereas the recording in Mexico is available in a Blu-Ray option.

The box set also features songs from the band’s debut Placebo, Black Market Music, Sleeping With Ghosts, Battle For The Sun and Loud Like Love. Placebo Live is set for release on December 15 by SO Recordings and people can pre-order the box set here.
