Rammstein announce 2023 European stadium tour
Taking place over four months
Last updated 1st Sep 2022
Rammstein have announced a new European stadium tour for summer 2023.
Opening at Vingis Park in Vilnius, Lithuania on Monday 22nd May 2023, the tour visits Helsinki, Odense, Munich, Trenčín, Bern, Madrid, Lisbon, Padova, Groningen, Budapest, Berlin, Paris, Vienna and Chorzów before wrapping up at King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels on Friday 4th August 2023.
Sadly, there are no UK dates as part of the trek so far.
Rammstein’s second Munich Olympic Stadium show on Thursday 8th June clashes with the opening night of Download Festival, casting doubt on speculation that they might headline the 20th anniversary extravaganza at Donington Park next summer. We'll wait and see.
Tickets to Rammstein’s European stadium tour go on sale at 10am local time on Thursday 8th September 2022.
Rammstein are currently in the midst of their North American stadium tour, with the next show taking place at Chicago Solider Field on Saturday night (3rd September).
The German band’s European tour this summer included rapturously received shows at Cardiff Principality Stadium and Coventry Building Society Arena.
Rammstein’s Coventry gig was reportedly so loud it could be heard 11 miles away.
The Coventry Telegraph quoted several Facebook users who stated they could hear 'loud thumping' noises as far away as Nuneaton and Burton Hastings, which is over 11 miles away from the stadium.
Featuring the singles ‘Zeit’, ‘Zick Zack’, ‘Dicke Titten’ and ‘Angst’, Rammstein’s critically acclaimed eighth studio album 'Zeit' was released on 29th April.
