Rammstein Postpone European Stadium Tour to 2022
Rammstein have been forced to postpone their European stadium tour. This is the second time that rescheduling has happened. But the legendary German band hopes to play all over their home continent in summer 2022.
With the release of the “Deutschland” and their highly successful Untitled album, the industrial metallers were poised for world domination. Though Rammstein’s North American tour dates are still scheduled for 2021, European audiences will have to wait another year to use their concert tickets.
“The band and everyone involved are very disappointed about this. Given the lack of planning reliability for holding events of this size, this step is unavoidable. The concerts are rescheduled to 2022,” Rammstein wrote.
“Unfortunately, some minor changes had to be made and the show in Belfast will be canceled entirely. Tickets for Belfast will be refunded, all other tickets remain valid! The band is using the time off to continue working on new songs. We look forward to seeing you in 2022!”
Keyyboardist Christian ‘Flake’ Lorenz revealed that Rammstein’s recorded a new album during lockdown:
“The fact that we couldn’t perform live increased our creativity. We had more time to think of new things and less distraction. As a result, we recorded a record that we hadn’t planned on.” So we should get to hear a ton of new material live the next time the band are in town…”
He continued to give more detail on the record, saying its subjects ranged from “daily experience” to “world events”. “Our topic is basically people’s madness and that is not much different in coronavirus times than in normal times,” Lorenz explained.
“So Donald Trump was also very present last year, you could also see many traits and from people, in general, how they behaved in lockdown. So the sources of inspiration are actually always there. Most of the things you deal with ultimately take place in your own head anyway. Only small bumps come from outside and enough comes through when the streets are only half as full.”
