LJUBLJANA, Slovenia (AP) — For a band inspired by art in totalitarian regimes, a gig in North Korea is a dream come true.
Slovenia's iconic Laibach — whose music is described as a mixture of industrial rock and Kraftwerk-style electronics, but which is also known for its controversial use of authoritarian imagery — has recently announced it will play two concerts in Pyongyang next month.
The tour will coincide with the ceremonies marking the 70th anniversary of the Korean peninsula's liberation from Japanese colonization, and will include Laibach's own music as well as popular Korean songs, spokesman Ivan Novak told the Associated Press.

I didn't see any thread on this
That's ballsy of them.
They'll probably be paraded around as an example of how Westerners are all Nazi who were allied with the Japanese.
Almost worth it to travel to NK to watch these guys. Almost.
Just wish they'd do a tour closer to Sweden, i'd love to watch them live.
finally a reason to visit

They're still kicking, and making new songs too. They did the entire soundtrack to Iron Sky if I recall correctly.
