Laibach – 02/11/2022 – B90, Gdańsk

The Slovenian avant-garde group is moving its European tour to the fall of this year after cancellation beginning of 2022. Laibach will perform successively: on November 2 in Gdańsk B90 and on November 3 in Kwadrat club in Kraków.

Provocateurs of above-average intelligence, who deeply respect what you think about them and do what they assume. This has been the case since 1980, when Laibach was born in what was then Yugoslavia in the city of Trbovlje.

Today the city is part of Slovenia. The name of the band is the German name for the capital of this country, Ljubljana, although the artists led by Ivan Novak emphasize that their homeland is the artistic state of Neue Slowenische Kunst (NSK), whose musical wing is Laibach. The band flirted with pop culture, filtered through their twisted imaginations, used Nazi iconography, composed for theater, film, exhibitions, performances, and special anniversaries (e.g. on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the Warsaw uprising).

Laibach also has references to politics. The Slovenes became famous for their unforgettable remakes, for example “Life Is Life” Opus, “In The Army Now” of a song popularized by Status Quo, “Final Countdown” Europe, “Jesus Christ Superstar“, or the entire Beatles album “Let It Be“. A great item in their output is the music for the play “Macbeth“, staged in Hamburg. The masterpiece are the modifications of the national anthems that the Slovenes made on the album “Volk“. A unique, although evoking mixed feelings for many, position in Laibach’s biography was a visit to North Korea, where the band played a concert for party apparatchiks with songs from the movie “The Sound Of Music“.

Laibach’s concert are more than just music, Milan Fras‘s deep voice and his characteristic “pilot”. It is also a visual setting and a unique atmosphere. The band likes to perform in Poland and you can feel it during each visit, and there were several dozen of them…
