Industrial group Laibach have announced a special headlining show in Ukraine this March.

Revealed today, the band will perform at the Bel Etage Music Hall in Kyiv, Ukraine on March 31. They will be the first foreign band to play in the region since the beginning of the war last year.

A statement reads:

While the rest of Europe prepares to celebrate its idea of freedom and solidarity on May 9th in Liverpool (the Eurovision song contest), Laibach will carry their own singular brand of their “Eurovision” concert program back to Ukraine.

“Eurovision” is the name of a wholly unique concert program by the renowned Slovenian band. Within it, they will present some of their most anthemic songs alongside “The Engine of Survival”, a brand new track set for release in 2023.

With anthems and marches at the core of many of their compositions, Laibach have long compared themselves to military marching bands created to maintain high morale on the battlefield. With this concert in Kyiv, Laibach supports Ukraine and Ukrainians in their fight against Russia and any other aggression.

Tickets for the concert are on sale to the general public here. All proceeds from the show will go towards charity and animal aid working in Ukraine.

Last month, Laibach unveiled their Love Is Still Alive EP and their Sketches Of The Red Districts studio album.
