Danish reggae band Laid Back performs at Finlandia Hall with their classic hits including "Sunshine Reggae" and "Bakerman".
Laid Back is a Danish electronic pop duo from Copenhagen, formed in 1979 by John Guldberg and Tim Stahl. The pair broke internationally with 'Sunshine Reggae' (1983), which hit number one in West Germany, Austria and 21 other countries, while the B-side 'White Horse' topped the US Billboard Dance chart. Their 1989 comeback single 'Bakerman' - with a skydiving video directed by Lars von Trier - kept them on European charts, and they have continued releasing albums ever since, most recently 'Forevergreen' (2024) to mark their 45th anniversary.
Laid Back released 'Forevergreen', a 12-track covers album on LP and CD, as a limited hand-numbered edition of 1000 copies to mark their 45th anniversary.
The 'Forevergreen' album was released on October 18, 2024, featuring the duo's own versions of classic songs including Beatles and Jimi Hendrix material.
Laid Back performed at O Days 2024 festival in Copenhagen.
Laid Back performed a full concert at Compensa Concert Hall in Vilnius, Lithuania on May 24, 2025.
Laid Back released the 21-track studio album 'Road to Fame' in 2023, which included a song in Danish - only the second time in the band's history.
