Bucharest.The arenas were full of enthusiasm and energy, and the musicians led us along with them on the emotional carousel they have been on for the past 20 years.The British band Placebo has managed to build over the years its own genre of music, a unique personality in the area of ​​alternative rock, which can be considered a bridge between alternative and indie, and at the same time that has a backbone of self-standing.The 20th anniversary concert on June 28 at the Roman Arenas took us through the entire history of Placebo, and the fans present, whether they were new or old, were delighted to listen and vibrate to songs of all kinds and from all the albums, from the most famous to the most hidden from the public eye.RECOMMENDATION: See the photo gallery from the Placebo concertThe festive atmosphere was felt even before the concert, thanks to the nice idea of ​​organizing the tickets for the concert in two categories: "A better friend" and "A friend indeed", each person wearing the badge received at the entrance with one of the two messages.Thus, on a symbolic level, all members of the audience became friends.Friends with the band and friends between us, through this common thread that united us.The concert started strongly, with a lot of energy from both sides, perfect connection between the band and the audience, after a short warm-up intervention by the opening band Greetings Sugar.As the members of Placebo took the stage, one by one, the spotlights and light fixtures turned on, and the audience was led into a constant state of musical ecstasy, supported by cheers and loud applause every chance they got. .Placebo concert at the Romanian Arenas in Bucharest on June 28, 2017 │ PHOTO: Alex Vlad Covaci / InfoMusic.roFor a participant in the show, who is at the same time a music editor and has attended many concerts, as well as a fan of the band on stage, as is the case of the undersigned, the feelings and experience of such a concert is multiplied exponentially, so I am honored to share both perspectives with you.For a Placebo fan, the concert was surely ecstasy, an emotional unfolding of the experiences experienced on each piece over time, associated memories, deciphered metaphors, tears, suffering, laughter, a carousel of feelings from all spheres.Placebo, in its lyrical essence, is a band with a lot of depth and multi-layered messages.Placebo is about the man trapped in the matrix, about the incurable diseases of society, about suffering and love, about ecstasy and passion, about delusion, masks and the subconscious.Placebo goes into the underworld, shows us what it means to face our shadows and demons, embrace them and make love to them, then either release them into the light or return to the same cycle.Placebo sings for the flaws of society, for "broken" people, and for the art that springs from them, then turns the coin on the other side and sings for hope, for rising beyond the condition of suffering and for regaining power.Placebo concert at the Romanian Arenas in Bucharest on June 28, 2017 │ PHOTO: Alex Vlad Covaci / InfoMusic.roPlacebo music is exactly what its name suggests, a mood-altering drug by altering your mental set-up.Placebos go deep into the structures of those who listen to them, turning dark emotions into something easier to carry - into art.From the objective point of view of the music editor who allowed himself to be placed close to the stage, in the middle of the audience, and to feel the vibration of the energy transmitted throughout the concert, I can say that it was a perfect concert.A perfect concert that kept the audience engaged every second, every song and every break.The highlight was when the band left the stage for the first time, and the audience demanded an encore with all their might.The constant applause and sound was at one point illuminated by the flashlights of the telephones throughout the premises of the Roman Arenas.As another light was lit, the magic intensified, and the feeling of friendship mentioned at the beginning returned to the foreground.The placebos let themselves be called, and the audience called them with all their might.Placebo concert at the Romanian Arenas in Bucharest on June 28, 2017 │ PHOTO: Alex Vlad Covaci / InfoMusic.roWhen they came back on stage, Brian Molko gave us a special thank you and told us, in his specific language, that we are a great audience and we can check it out on youtube he doesn't say that often.A second encore followed, with the energy level maintained until the last second of the last song, until the last bow of the two core members, Brian Molko and Stefan Olsdal, and the other instrumentalists in the band, who remained a few moments to receive the applause.A truly festive anniversary was Placebo's 20th anniversary concert, with three hours of emotions and ecstasy, energy and freedom.Thanks for every second and every emotion stirred up, the road goes on!Placebo concert at the Romanian Arenas in Bucharest on June 28, 2017 │ PHOTO: Alex Vlad Covaci / InfoMusic.roWe have another review for you: Placebo in Bucharest: the magic of the first albums

2022A bad news comes today for the fans of the band Placebo, 24 hours before the concert: the event has been cancelled, or rather postponed.The band had to cancel several concerts due to the cases of Covid-19 in the band and staff.We have details below.In a post on Instagram, the band revealed that it will no longer be able to honor the appearances in Bucharest on July 13, 2022 and from Skopje Calling in Macedonia on July 16.The group was supposed to play at Romexpo, with Red Roll and Black Magic Trees opening.It would have been an excellent opportunity to hear live for the first time in our country the songs from the new album "Never Let Me Go", released in the spring of 2022, after a 9-year hiatus.Here is the band's message regarding the cancellation:We are frustrated and disappointed that we will not be able to perform at those shows that are important to us, as they are to you.We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and disappointment.We are doing our best to reschedule and please check what the organizers say about further announcements.Placebo has been in the headlines lately because of its special relationship with Kate Bush's song "Running Up the Hill."This has been dominating the music charts for 2 months, since it appeared in the series "Stranger Things", and Placebo has one of the most appreciated covers of the song.It was heard live in Bucharest at midnight at Summer Well 2014, sung in a magical way and which moved the audience present.The band was also in Romania in 2006, at the Roman Arena, in 2009, at Romexpo, in 2012 at the Iolanda Balaş Söter rugby stadium, in 2014 at Summer Well and in 2017 at the Roman Arena.The last time I saw Brian Molko at the Arena, he came with a strong anti-Trump message at the end of the concert and had a long moment of improvisation on the keys.The last Placebo albums revealed a mystical side of the artists, esoteric, ecological messages and acceptance of oneself and those around.The band Placebo is approaching 30 years of existence, which it will complete in 2024, and its current composition is Brian Molko, on guitar, vocals, versification, mixing and Stefan Olsdal, on bass and guitar.The drummers keep changing in recent years, but the ones who have been in the group the longest are Steve Hewitt and Steve Forrest.Regarding the cancellation of the concert, I understood that it would actually have been postponed and would be rescheduled after mid-August 2022.The British band Placebo returns to Bucharest on July 13, 2022 at Romexpo, outdoors.In the opening, Black Magic Trees and Red Roll, two bands from Italy, will play.You can find program details, access rules and other useful information in the article.The concert takes place in Parking C at Romexpo.Access will

"Never Let Me Go".Brian Molko and Stefan Olsdal created an LP about loneliness, climate change, paranoia, chemicals and demons from the past.Placebo reaches 8 albums and is preparing for an extensive tour, which also brings them to us.Part of the songs can be heard in the article."Never Let Me Go" is album number 8 in the British band's discography.It was registered between 2019-2021, being seriously affected by the pandemic.It was released on streaming networks on March 25, 2022, and its pre-orders started as early as November 2021. We had 4 singles from the LP, "Beautiful James", "Surrounded by Spies", "Try Better Next Time" and "Happy Birthday In The Sky".This disc includes 13 songs, which further qualifies Placebo as "a band with lyrics to cry and instrumentals to dance to".Like the last 2 LPs, Molko used a lot of electronic samples, drum machine, synthesizer, loops and fireworks in the studio.It is very important to note that "Never Let Me Go" finds Placebo for the first time as a duo, now that drummer Steve Forrest left the band in 2015. Placebo has matured in its 26 years of existence, and a first phase ended with "Meds" in 2006. Purist fans of the band kind of stopped there with the discography, although tracks like "Exit Wounds" from 2013 show us that there is room for special music in the new Placebo era as well.On the new album we hear themes such as human oversaturation with technology, something that will be replicated at the band's concerts.Molko and co imposed a rule to leave phones at the entrance to intimate shows at Le Trianon in Paris at the end of March.Moreover, smart watches, cameras and other devices will arrive in special Yondr bags until the end of the event.We also hear lyrics about taking responsibility, facing mortality and lost loves."Hugz" is the catchiest song on the album, which we could hear on the radio and has that voluptuous rhythm that reminds us of "Post-Blue" or "Infrared" from "Meds".Percussion and guitar are the stars there."Sad White Reggae" has a very strange rhythm, it seems like an improvisation of electronic samples, but it has a sad interlude towards the end.Molko told The Guardian that he wrote the lyrics thinking about climate change, inequality and a constantly surveilled society.We will see the Placebo band playing the new songs in Bucharest on July 13, 2022, at Romexpo.The last time the band was with us was in 2017 at the Romanian Arenas, which were not roomy for the band.A BTS member was voted "the most handsome man in the world";Henry Cavill is in 2nd placeThe 18th season "I know you from somewhere!"brings to the stage a new series of artistsVoice of Romania 2022 starts in September;Find out the official dateTwo actresses, from "Vikings" and "Lucifer", are coming to Comic Con 2022Carla's Dreams and Sarmalele Reci perform at SingFest 2022;See the lineup by day"I know you from somewhere!"returns in 2022 with season 18;Find out when the show startsA Janet Jackson song has damaged multiple laptop hard drivesRonan Keating and Ioana Ignat sang "If Tomorrow Never Comes", the first live duet in the history of the famous hit© 2010-2022 InfoMusic.ro.All rights reserved.
