More about Placebo

When Placebo first stepped into the spotlight at the height of the Britpop era with their debut album Placebo, the band stood in stark contrast to the cultural climate of the time. The band’s groundbreaking aesthetic and lyrics challenged the prevailing mainstream culture, traditional ideas about gender identity and masculinity, and created a voice that resonated deeply with fans who felt outside the norm.

Three decades after the release of their debut album, the alternative rock band is back with Placebo RE:CREATED, a re-recording by Brian Molko and Rob Kirwan of the album that introduced them to the world in 1996. The new album, due out June 19, features reworked and remastered versions of all ten tracks from the original album, as well as two bonus tracks from the original release. With the same raw energy that defined them, the re-recording captures the songs' natural evolution over decades of live performances. Tracks include the singles Nancy Boy and 36 Degrees.

“We think of this record as a director’s cut. We haven’t recreated it from scratch. We went back to the original master tapes and brought 30 years of playing these songs live back into the record. This project was about finally finishing the record, dragging it into the 21st century sonically, while preserving the integrity and the spirit of the original. It’s not about improving it, there’s nothing wrong with it, it’s about completing it.” Placebo say of the new songs.

This year, Placebo are embarking on an extensive arena tour of 36 concert dates in the UK and Europe, to celebrate their 30th anniversary as a band. On the tour, the band will perform songs from their first two albums, Placebo and Without You I’m Nothing, some of which haven’t been performed live in over 20 years.

"It's a celebration of where we began, and a meeting point between who we were then and who we are now. It's a way of honoring that innocence, while letting the songs exist with the scale, confidence, and energy of the band we've become," continues the band.
