Placebo

In June 2006, during the performance of "Nancy Boy" at Rock am Ring, Placebo was promoting their fifth studio album, "Meds," which had been released earlier that year in March. "Meds" explored darker themes and showcased the band's evolving sound, earning critical acclaim and commercial success across Europe. The live recording captures the band's energetic stage presence and the strong connection with their audience, which has been a hallmark of their performances. Notably, "Nancy Boy," one of their earlier hits from the 1996 self-titled debut album, continued to resonate with fans, highlighting the band's ability to blend past successes with newer material during live shows. Placebo’s music often challenges societal norms and gender identities, further emphasized in their theatrical live performances, making the Rock am Ring appearance a significant moment in their ongoing career.
