The Slovenian music collective Laibach will present a new concert program and play the cult release “Opus Dei” in a new guise at Boogaloo club in Zagreb on Saturday, October 5, 2024.
Laibach’s album “Opus Dei”, featuring songs such as “Life is Life/Opus Dei”, “Leben heisst Leben” and “Geburt einer Nation”, was originally released in 1987 on the Mute label. The album has been remastered and will be reissued this year after 26 years with plenty of additional historical recordings from various concerts in Europe and America, as well as remixes on three vinyls and four CDs.
Laibach is promoting this reissue with a special tour, and it will be an opportunity to hear all the songs from the album in a new guise for the first time in many years. In addition to the performance of cult material, they will also present a selection of Laibach’s classics and selected songs from their large repertoire, as well as those released before the album “Opus Dei”.
The exhibition of the Laibach group in Zagreb “Ausstelung! Laibach Kunst: The Cube+Unternehmen Barbarossa” at Lauba Gallery from June 29 to August 22, 2024.
The cult Slovenian avant-garde band has been active for four decades with its recognizable visual, symbolic and social expression. After two concerts last year, when they presented the program “Love is Still Alive” in the Culture Factory and the complex author’s symphonic work “Alamut” in the Lisinski Hall, Laibach returns to Zagreb with a new concert program based on their cult release “Opus Dei”. .
The great reviews of last year’s performances speak of the status that Laibach has with the Zagreb audience. Aleksandar Dragaš writes that Laibach is “one of the most globally provocative bands in the history of pop culture music”, and describing the concert at Tvornica, Ivan Laić says that it is “a band that never disappoints.” Laibach is one and only.” Commenting on the performance of Alamut in Lisinski, Lucija Očko writes “The closest description to what I experienced last night would be a ‘fever dream’, a dream in which you leave your body and do not know where you are or what is around you, and a multitude of sounds and voices are screaming at you in the head”, while Bojan Mušćet says that “with a precise, monumental, invasive and thrilling performance, Laibach afforded Zagreb a superb artistic happening.”
The “Opus Dei” Laibach tour is currently taking place in Scandinavia, Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic, Switzerland, Austria, and the new meeting in Zagreb is scheduled at the Boogaloo club on October 5, 2024.
