Placebo

In January 2012, Placebo performed at the Sziget Festival, showcasing their distinct blend of alternative rock and glam influences. Around this time, the band had recently released their sixth studio album, "Battle for the Sun," in 2009, which marked a significant moment in their career as it was their first album to feature drummer Steve Forrest following the departure of Robert Schultzberg. This period was characterized by a resurgence in their popularity, bolstered by their energetic live performances. One interesting aspect of the Sziget performance is their cover of Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill," which resonates with audiences and highlights Placebo's penchant for reinterpreting iconic tracks, further showcasing Brian Molko's unique vocal style and the band's theatrical presentation. The concert came at a pivotal time in Placebo's trajectory, reaffirming their status as a staple in the alternative rock scene.
