Last updated 29th Jul 2019
Rammstein will play a gargantuan show at Cardiff Principality Stadium on Sunday 14th June 2020.
The Neue Deutsche Härte band began teasing the show on Friday evening (26th July) when they posted a photo to Facebook of a red sports shirt, emblazoned with the Rammstein logo and the number 20, draped over dark green stadium seating.
They captioned the image: “Another UK Rammstein stadium show is coming – can you guess where?”
Many fans correctly guessed the venue as Cardiff Principality Stadium and Rammstein have now confirmed they will play the 74,500-capacity venue on Sunday 14th June 2020. It’s their biggest ever show in Great Britain.
The eagerly-awaited show is only their second ever appearance in Wales, and their first since they played Cardiff International Arena on 18th July 2005 as part of the Ahoi Tour.
Tickets go on sale from Kerrang! Radio Tickets at 10am on Wednesday 31st July 2019.
Additionally, if fans have already booked tickets for the Coventry date at Ricoh Arena on Saturday 20th June 2020, Rammstein would like to offer the chance to exchange tickets to the Cardiff date for those who find this location more convenient.
