A spring and summer tour starting in March 2012, featuring Laibach live, presenting and promoting the science fiction dark comedy, film Iron Sky.
Laibach has composed the soundtrack for this film and will perform selected songs from it live in concert, along with other material including some preview songs  from their two forthcoming albums and a set of classic Laibach songs spanning from the early 80’s to today.

Iron Sky is a dark science fiction comedy about Nazis escaping to the dark side of the Moon in 1945 and returning to Earth in 2018. Towards the end of World War II the Nazi scientists made a significant breakthrough in anti-gravity. From a secret base built in the Antarctic, the first Nazi spaceships were launched in late ‘45 to found the military base Schwarze Sonne (Black Sun) on the dark side of the Moon. This base was to build a powerful invasion fleet and return to take over the Earth once the time was right. Now it’s 2018, and the Nazis are returning.
Iron Sky is one of the most expected films coming out from Europe in 2012. Partly it has also been ispired by Laibach and especially their 2006 album VOLK [Mute/EMI], therefore from the very early on the film director Timo Vuorensola wanted to have Laibach to do the music for it, and when both the band and the filmmakers connected, the vision started to become reality.
 

Laibach’s involvement is a match made in heaven. Their music for this film, loaded with references on Wagner , was created very carefully, with unique Laibachian style, sense of humor and dark tone, and it works perfectly with the noir/steampunk look oft he film. A release of an album with the film score on Mute will be out in April 2012

Besides, Laibach will perform at the Tate Gallery of Modern Art in London on April 14th,2012.
This will be a very special Laibach performance which will be hold at the Turbin Hall presenting the work of Laibach from the beginning to now.

Rolling Stone Magazine once called them the Godfathers of World-Beat…

’The World’ was Dissidenten’s main musical subject long before such ideas floated into fashion and especially their long-time connections to the Maghreb, musically as well as personally, has recently given the band quite some new importance with the upcoming of the Arab Spring, and stresses once again how music can be a language and an instrument to stand up and unite the people of the whole world for a more peaceful and liberal life.
