Placebo :)

[Joshuwarr]

Can't wait for them. Classic festival band who you know will please almost any festival audience and the new material is certainly a departure from previous albums so will be interesting to hear some of it live.

Although I just wish they resurrected Teenage Angst (the original version, not the piano version).

Easily in my top 10 bands of all time, however for me they are a teenage band. What I mean by that is I had the first 4 albums (up to Sleeping with Ghosts which is actually my favourite) and listened to them to death when I was about 15/16...and then I saw them in 04 and loved it. I've been off the Placebo trail since then though really.

I mean Meds is quite good, some really good tracks and a solid effort, but always lacked something for me that the other albums had. It remains to be seen about the new album but hopefully I'll enjoy it. The only bug bearer for me is that the set may contain a lot of the new stuff (Meds/bfts) and the set is never going to live up to the 2004 one for me (there's not one song of theirs I don't adore from the first 4 albums). However, I'll still be there.

I think a lot of people aren't that bothered about Placebo because they play every year! However, due to various reasons (IE Not going/clashes) I haven't seen them since 04.

Placebo are one of the bands on my must see list. Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Radiohead being the two other main ones. I can't wait to see them, I've not seen many of their setlists before, is Pure Morning a regular?

[fat_man_joe]

Yay for Placebo!

Sadly though I can't see much more than a hits and new album set but still should be fun :angry: especially when your hits include Every You, Every Me; Without You, I'm Nothing; and Special K.

[thetime]

always loved placebo and there brilliant live. Cant wait to see them, last time I saw them at reading/leeds they were awful and left to watch interpol who were very good to note.

[rexclark]

I'd be excited if it was about 10 years ago. Can't say I'm too interested with them anymore but might go along to see them.

[2reese2]

They will be one of the highlights of the weekend for me.

special needs or possible meds might be the song of the weekend as well.

How long will there set likely be?

[Duffbox]

i've Placebo a fair few times, will definitely see em again, they put on a good show,

though recently my musical tastes have developed and as with most of the line up, they just don't have me jumping with excitement anymore

[pink_triangle]

Placebo are one of my must see bands of the weekend. I love to see a good mix of bands with big back catalogues mixing it up with some newer, hungry bands.

[VCK]

I'm not ecstatic but I'll still watch them. Every You Every Me is a great song.

[scottt]

I would have liked to see them however it looks like they will clash with Bouncing Souls and nothing Placebo do can play compares to True Believers, Hopeless Romantic, Born to Lose and East Coast f**k You for me personally so I will be in the lock up stage with quite a few others and I think Bouncing Souls will have one of the biggest lock up crowds of the weekend.

[Budweiser]

Can't wait for these, after all the moshing for deftones this is a perfect mellow band for me to chill out and sing too

[flossy_]

can't wait for Placebo, easily one of the top 3 bands i want to see that weekend.

personally, from what i've heard so far, i'm not 'woo' about the new stuff..it seems very bland and lyrically poor compared to some of the genious songs they've written before, but meh, i still love them and will still be there to see them as i've always wanted to catch them live

[target_for_faraway_laughter]

I was really disappointed in their performance last time, whilst they had allot of technical issues that they weren't to blame for I was still underwhelmed.

[shoptildrop]

one of my must sees of the weekend so really looking forward to them :0)

[problematique.]

Can not wait to see them One of my must see's of the weekend.

[JoeyForMyValentine]

Not really feeling them with what I've heard so far (Meds and Greatest Hits), will probably be checking out one of the other stages. Bouncing Souls are being bigged up here, will see what their stuff is like.

[Ignus Reef]

Placebo are one of my favourite bands and I haven't seen them live yet, so naturally I'm really excited about seeing them - should be the highlight of the weekend for me.
