Next year it will be “fire free!” – Rammstein has announced a Europe-wide stadium tour for 2024. It is not yet known which cities the band will play in. Advance sales begin next week.

The band Rammstein is going on tour again next year. The six musicians announced this on Tuesday via the band’s social media channels. “Today Rammstein announce their European Stadium Tour 2024!” said the Berlin band’s post. Advance sales for the concerts are scheduled to begin on October 18th. Further details were not initially published.

According to dpa information, the series of performances will be similar to the third part of their European tour this year. Rammstein played a good two dozen concerts in 16 European stadiums from May to August.

The tour has been running since May 2019 with interruptions due to corona. During the two-hour show, which is characterized by fire, effects and pyrotechnics, the band plays a good 20 songs each. The program for the more than 100 performances so far was slightly modified after the release of the latest Rammstein album.

Frontman Till Lindemann (60), guitarists Richard Kruspe (56) and Paul Landers (58), bassist Oliver Riedel (52), keyboardist Christian “Flake” Lorenz (56) and drummer Christoph Schneider (57) live in Berlin. The six musicians came together here in 1994 and have since developed into the most internationally successful German band with their hard sound.

Tour recently overshadowed by allegations

This year’s Rammstein tour was overshadowed by allegations, especially against Lindemann. Women had described situations online or in media reports that they sometimes found frightening. Young women were selected during concerts and asked if they wanted to come to the after-show party. According to some women’s accounts, sexual acts also occurred.

Lindemann had rejected allegations against himself. The public prosecutor’s offices in Berlin and Lithuania closed investigations into the allegations. The public prosecutor’s office in Berlin said that the evaluation of the available evidence did not provide any evidence that Lindemann “performed sexual acts on women against their will.”
