Placebo have issued a statement aimed at their critics after the band were criticised for technical issues during their recent St Gallen festival performance – see what the band had to say below.On June 30, Placebo were booked to perform at the OpenAir St Gallen festival in Switzerland alongside the likes of the Chainsmokers and Queens Of The Stone Age.

During their set, the band experienced a number of technical issues that forced the band to cut their set short, ending much earlier than expected.Since then, the band have been receiving criticism for the performance and fighting within the fanbase, prompting the band’s Brian Molko to issue a statement on social media.

Molko began: “We have been noticing a great deal of discussion, arguments, accusations & skirmishes between our fans in relation to our truncated concert at St Gallen festival.

We have also been on the receiving send of many (unimaginative & entitled) insults. So we would like to offer some clarity on what happened during our concert at St Gallen festival.”“Shortly into the set, Stefan [Olsdal] began to have technical issues until finally guitar system ceased to function completely.
