Laibach is celebrating 40 years of existence. The site of the main 4.0 Anniversary event is ‘Delavski Dom Trbovlje’ – where it actually all started 40 years ago. 

Delavski Dom Trbovlje is a spectacular modernist cultural center with several great venues. It was created and built between 1952 – 1956 by the architect Marko Župančič, a student of Jože Plečnik, Le Corbusier, and Pierre Jeanneret, in collaboration with architect Oton Gaspari and artist Marij Pregelj, the creator of the great mosaic on the walls of Delavski Dom. 

PHYSICAL AUDIENCE NOT ALLOWED AT THE SHOW

Back in 1980, Laibach was forbidden from holding a very similar ‘coming out’ event in this place of industrial culture; therefore, we are going to do it now instead – 40 years later. Unfortunately, due to the increasingly problematic viral situation and thus more stringent Covid-19 restrictions, a physical audience will not be allowed at the venue, and we cannot do anything about that. Not even the 100 people that we were all hoping for. For all of you who have already bought tickets – your money will therefore be refunded at once. You can instead join everyone else for the live streaming of the event. 

We all know that Covid-19 was actually created to prevent Laibach from performing the Anniversary show in Trbovlje in front of a physical audience – which is a situation similar to that of 40 years ago in the same space. And maybe this is the right way to commemorate the event from 40 years ago that did not happen – even though it did. It only happened with the help of the media. And so it will happen this time as well. 

WATCH THE COMPLETE EVENT (AND MUCH MORE!) VIA LIVE STREAMING!

Unfortunately, professional-quality live streaming, with good sound and picture, comes with high production costs; therefore, we will have to charge for it. According to the research we recently carried out, most of you are interested in streaming the entire event with additional material, so this is what we are going to offer. There will be plenty of additional material included in the streaming, recorded especially for this occasion. We will reveal the journey of Laibach through selected places in Ljubljana and Trbovlje and up into the surrounding mountains, places that were of special importance to the group’s establishment.  

The streaming of the event on 23 October 2020 will start at exactly 18:00 Central European Time. The streamed content will be available for you to watch for 72 hours.
