The ongoing discourse surrounding the renowned vocalist Till Lindemann appears to have little impact on the enduring success of the German metal band Rammstein.
Rammstein will be touring again in 2019. The six-piece band made the announcement on Tuesday through their various online profiles. It said, "Today Rammstein announce their European Stadium Tour 2024!" on the Berlin band's page. Tickets for the shows will go on sale early on October 18th. Additional information was not previously made public.
There will be as many shows as there were on the third leg of their European tour this year, dpa reports. Rammstein performed almost two dozen shows across 16 different European venues between May and August.
Since May 2019, the tour has been going on, however it has been interrupted many times by the corona. The band performs about 20 songs throughout the two-hour event, which features fire, effects, and fireworks. After the release of Rammstein's most recent album, small adjustments were made to the setlists for the band's more than 100 appearances to date.
Till Lindemann (age 60), Richard Kruspe (age 56), Paul Landers (age 58), Oliver Riedel (age 52), Christian "Flake" Lorenz (age 56), and Christoph Schneider (age 57) are the band's Berlin-based musicians. The six-piece band first jammed together in 1994 and have since become Germany's biggest export, thanks to their very aggressive sound.
Rammstein's tour this year was marred by claims, most of which were directed against Lindemann. Some women have expressed fear after reading or hearing accounts of terrifying events on the Internet or in the media. During some performances, young ladies were randomly picked and asked whether they wanted to attend an after-show party. Some women have reported sexual encounters at this time.
The accusations leveled against Lindemann were dismissed by him. Both the Berlin and Vilnius public prosecutor's offices have concluded their respective investigations into the claims. The Berlin public prosecutor's office said that after reviewing the material, they were unable to conclude that Lindemann "performed sexual acts on women against their will."
