LAIBACH
VENUE O2 SHEPHERD’S BUSH EMPIRE, LONDON
DATE 08/11/2023
This is the dawn of the third “ millennium of mankind. The planet Earth is now nothing but a dead room floating in space, destroyed by wars, pandemics and all the evil that men do.”
And so begins Laibach’s otherworldly show at the Shepherd’s Bush Empire, with a Star Wars-style opening crawl projected onstage. Bandmembers dressed in off-duty military short sleeves appear under spotlights, and their latest collaborator, singer and multi-instrumentalist Donna Marina Mårtensson, enters in cowboy boots and with an acoustic guitar.
