As the band Placebo approach their 20th Anniversary they were given a unique opportunity to play ten cities throughout Russia. In a time when Russia was at the forefront of the world’s current affairs, little was actually reported outside Russia about the internal culture of the country.
Fronted by Placebo’s Stefan Olsdal, the film explores the alternative cultures that are present within Russia’s major cities. As the tour travelled through the country the band went out and met various artists, architects, animators and musicians, finding out about the alternative creative culture and celebrating all they have to offer.
From Krasnoyarsk in Siberia to St. Petersburg on the Baltic Sea, Placebo: Alt.Russia takes you on the band’s journey through Russia, meeting great characters on the way, investigating the alternative culture in Russia, and taking in the raw emotions of Placebo’s powerful concerts.

A typically brilliant Rock AM Ring set which sees Placebo perform as part of their tour in support of the new Meds alum, and despite a few hits being sadly overlooked the set is fairly strong although I would have gladly chopped and changed it around a little. The quality is perfect throughout in terms of presentation, audio and video, so this is a must for Placebo fans and is a better alternate to the audio bootleg from the show.

Filmed throughout the bands Asian tour, 'A New Tomorrow' documents PLACEBO's intensively demanding promotional schedule and the 5 shows they played, including the infamous 2nd show at the Japanese 'Summersonic Festival' where Brian collapsed on stage. Shot by Charlie Targett-Adams and narrated by Brian Molko, 'A New Tomorrow' is both emotional and revealing, allowing unrestricted access into the world of PLACEBO and heart of Brian himself.
