With Milan Fras and Mina Špiler in the foreground and a recognizable animation in the background, the band replayed the new album and ended it with the song Whistleblowers. In the second part, they played some old songs from Brat moj through B Machina, Leben Tod to See that my grave and kept clean. For the third part or additions, they left Tanz mit Laibach and Das Spiel ist Aus. Laibach proved once again that they remain a young, agile and current band.
