Laibach
Shepherd's Bush Empire, London

LAIBACH are currently touring off the back of Liberation Day, the acclaimed documentary — or should that be mockumentary? — about the group’s gig in North Korea which made them the first Western band to perform in the country.

The gig in three parts start with a special screening of a film which offers a hugely entertaining window into the various ups and downs the group faced trying to navigate the country’s notoriously bureaucratic systems.
