Celebrating three decades since the release of their groundbreaking debut album, legendary alternative rock band Placebo announce Placebo RE:CREATED, a powerful new reworking of the record that first introduced them to the world in 1996. The album will be released on 19 June 2026 via Elevator Lady Ltd through AWAL.

Originally arriving at the height of the Britpop era, Placebo stood in stark contrast to the prevailing cultural mood. While much of British guitar music at the time leaned into laddish nostalgia and national identity, Placebo’s debut delivered something altogether more provocative and confrontational. Its songs addressed sexuality, androgyny, addiction and alienation with an honesty rarely heard in mainstream rock at the time, establishing the band as one of the most distinctive voices of their generation.

Thirty years on, Placebo RE:CREATED sees the band return to this pivotal album with a fresh perspective. The new record features reworked and embellished versions of all ten tracks from the original album plus two bonus tracks from the original release, capturing the way these songs have evolved across decades of performance while retaining the raw spirit that defined them. Among the tracks are the era-defining singles “Nancy Boy” and “36 Degrees”, songs that helped establish Placebo’s reputation for fearless lyricism and genre-defying sound. These new recordings amplify the urgency and attitude that made the originals resonate so strongly, while reflecting the band’s growth and experience in the years since their debut.

The 2CD deluxe edition includes live tracks and 1995 demos on disc 2.
