Placebo — Sziget Festival, 2014

Full live capture of Placebo at Budapest’s Sziget Festival in 2014, during the touring cycle of the band’s fifth album, « Loud Like Love ». On the main stage of Óbuda Island, the London duo of Brian Molko and Stefan Olsdal delivers a dense set of roughly eighty minutes, carried by Molko’s androgynous voice and the dark textures that have defined British alternative rock since the 1990s. The setlist alternates recent material (« Loud Like Love », « Too Many Friends », « Rob The Bank ») with crowd-uniting classics (« Every You Every Me », « Special K », « The Bitter End »), before a striking encore built around their cover of Kate Bush’s « Running Up That Hill ». This filmed live concert documents an important stage in Placebo’s touring history, a key act of European alternative rock. A reference full concert to rediscover the band’s elegant darkness and energy on a major festival stage.
