Laibach to become first foreign band to perform in Kyiv since invasion

Subversive Slovenian quintet, who performed in North Korea in 2015, to play full concert at Bel Etage Music Hall

Subversive Slovenian industrial rock band Laibach are set to be the first foreign group to perform a full concert in Kyiv since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

The group will play Bel Etage Music Hall on 31 March, under the concert title Eurovision – an arch reference to the fact the Eurovision song contest, won by Ukraine in 2022, will not be hosted in the country this year, but rather Liverpool in the UK.
