Earlier this month, Placebo spoke out against the people who criticised their recent appearance at St Gallen Festival, which was beset by technical issues.

They have also announced details of a second feature-length documentary, This Search For Meaning. The project is an intimate and enlightening portrait of the band, which explores both the meaning and subject matter behind their songs, while also diving into their evolution as a group and as human beings.

It will also include informal conversations with both vocalist-guitarist Brian Molko and bassist–guitarist Stefan Olsdal, as well as contributions from artists who either admire or have been inspired by Placebo. These include Garbage’s Shirley Manson, Robbie Williams, Self Esteem (Rebecca Lucy Taylor), Idles frontman Joe Talbot, Yungblud and contemporary artist Stuart Semple.

An exact date has not yet been announced, although the documentary is expected to have a theatrical release in September this year. Sign up here to find out more information about the film as it is shared.

Yungblud, meanwhile, released his new single ‘Breakdown’ in support of mental health charities last month.

The musician opened up about his own mental health struggles in the song, and committed donating £1 (up to £25,000) to the charities Mind and Sound Mind Live for every use of the song’s CapCut template.

He is also preparing to host BludFest at the Milton Keynes Bowl on August 11, where he will be joined on the bill by recent collaborator Lil Yachty, as well as Soft Play, Nessa Barrett, The Damned, Lola Young and Jazmin Bean.

In recent weeks, he confirmed that a second stage had been added to the event, which will include performances from Jesse Jo Stark, Landon Barker (the son of Yungblud’s collaborator and Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker), Hannah Grae and Aziya.
