After thirteen years, six studio albums, 11 million album sales, breakdowns, clean ups and the dizzy swell of global success Placebo are back in the UK at London’s O2 Academy Brixton on Monday 27th September and have just confirmed a second show on Tuesday 28th to celebrate the release of the Battle For The Sun: Redux Edition which is released that same week!
Still brimming with new and vibrant ideas – Molko and Olsdal returned to the form of one-on-one writing that had started the band back in 1994. By the summer of 2008 they’d amassed eighteen new songs, the freshest material they’d ever taken into the studio. They’d also amassed a new young drummer, 22-year-old Californian Steve Forrest, whom they first spotted playing with one of their US support bands Evaline in 2006.
Earlier this year PLACEBO conceived an unprecedented idea and creation based around a new edition of ‘Battle For The Sun’, which involved designing a T-shirt with Atticus clothing and tying it in with a brand new track.
Let ‘Battle’ commence…to see Placebo live this autumn:
