Placebo Chat To I Like Music

Stefan: The thing you have to remember about festivals is that bands do not have control! So basically you're going out on stage without any soundcheck and then providing a soundtrack to a drunken picnic! People are there to have a good time. It's a weekend, you know, there are distractions. You can go and buy a tie-dye t-shirt, go on a ferris wheel, hahah, but it's brilliant. You have to go without an attitude. You go out there and hopefully attract a couple of new fans. Band's tend to just play as many singles as possible to get peoples attention, most people are just pissed!

Steve: It's a great way to get to know some really wonderful people as well, other bands and other musicians that you respect. Sometimes you end up on the same bill. So throughout the summer it's like this little village that travels around with each other. A musical summer camp!

ILM: Sounds awesome. What would be your advice to anyone wishing to follow in your footsteps?
