Rammstein announces festival dates for summer 2016 – no news on new album
A few weeks ago we reported about an upcoming news update from the Rammstein front. A picture which the band posted showed they had regrouped to rehearse on what we hoped would be the work for their first new material in six years ( “Liebe Ist Für Alle Da” was released in 2009).
Alas, like we then posted it could also have meant that the band had started rehearsing for a new tour as the band hadn’t played a live show since the Wacken Festival in 2013.
And that has now been confirmed. Rammstein will headline a range of international festivals in summer 2016. The first shows were confirmed today:
- AT / VIENNA / Rock in Vienna / 03.-05.06.16
- CH / LUCERNE / Allmend Rockt / 04.06.16
- GB / DONNINGTON / Download / 10.06.16
- FR / PARIS / Download / 12.06.16
- DK / ODENSE / Tinderbox / 23.-25.06.16
- DE / SCHEESSEL / Hurricane / 24.-26.06.16
- DE / TUTTLINGEN / Southside / 24.-26.06.16
- BE / WERCHTER / Rock Werchter / 01.07.16

Why we ask
Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.
