Placebo concert in Bucharest is one of the most expected concerts of this year. Placebo performs on July 30 at the Arenele Romane – Romanian Arenas in Bucharest.
Placebo is a famous London band Brian Molko and Stefan Olsdal founded in 1994. The British alternative rock band rose to fame in the late 90s with a sound that blended grunge influences with Britpop catchiness. Here are some of their early hits that solidified their place in the alternative rock scene:
- „Nancy Boy” (1996): This glam-tinged anthem for individuality became a signature song, reaching number four on the UK Singles Chart.
- „Pure Morning” (1998): A lighter and more melodic track with a singalong chorus, „Pure Morning” cracked the top five in the UK and showcased Placebo’s ability to craft catchy alternative rock.
- „Without You I’m Nothing” (1998): Featuring David Bowie, this song combined anthemic rock with introspective lyrics, further establishing Placebo’s unique sound.
They became famous with hits such as Every You, Every Me, For What It’s Worth or The Bitter End.
These early hits, along with their self-titled debut album reaching number five in the UK, cemented Placebo’s reputation for crafting alternative rock with both muscle and melody. Their later albums continued to explore darker themes, but their early success with these songs left a lasting mark on the alternative rock landscape.
Until now, they have released eight studio materials, which have brought them a total of 10 Platinum Discs and 28 Gold Discs and a presence in the charts all over the world.
