In August 2012, the English alternative rock band Placebo performed at the Sziget Festival in Budapest, showcasing their notable track "Special Needs." By this time, Placebo had released their sixth studio album, "Battle for the Sun," in 2009, which marked a significant shift in their musical direction and featured a more optimistic sound compared to their earlier work. The live performance demonstrates the band's enduring popularity and ability to connect emotionally with their audience. Notably, the band's distinctive style, characterized by Molko's androgynous vocals and provocative lyrics, continues to resonate with fans worldwide. Their participation in major festivals like Sziget reflects their ongoing influence and relevance in the rock music scene.
