Info
On 30 September 2026, Laibach play O2 Ritz Manchester. Formed in 1980 in what is now Slovenia, the group blends industrial textures, electronics and neoclassical dark wave within a stark, martial visual framing. On stage, mechanical percussion, deep baritone voices and orchestral layers meet classical citations and reworked covers, a language they have shaped across albums like Nova Akropola, Opus Dei, Spectre, Also Sprach Zarathustra, The Sound of Music and Wir sind das Volk. Built around Milan Fras and Ivan Novak, Laibach extends the concert form with theatrical elements and a measured play with symbols of power and propaganda, a method that has taken them from European venues to performances in Pyongyang and Seoul. In Manchester, they present a set that links early material to recent pieces written for theatre and cinema, with an emphasis on repetition, contrasts and tightly structured arrangements.
