Rammstein reschedule European 2021 stadium tour

Rammstein's already-postponed 2021 European stadium tour has just been pushed back another year.

Unfortunately – but not unsurprisingly – Rammstein have just announced that their European stadium tour has been rescheduled for 2022.

The German titans were planning on hitting huge venues in the UK and Europe this summer (having already moved the entire run from 2020), but due to coronavirus, the tour still can't happen just yet.

"Due to the expected ongoing event bans and restrictions related to COVID-19, Rammstein are unfortunately forced to postpone the planned European Stadium Tour again," reads a statement. "The band and everyone involved are very disappointed about this. Given the lack of planning reliability for holding events of this size, this step is unavoidable.

"The concerts are rescheduled to 2022. Unfortunately, some minor changes had to be made and the show in Belfast will be cancelled entirely. Tickets for Belfast will be refunded, all other tickets remain valid!

"The band is using the time off to continue working on new songs. We look forward to seeing you in 2022!"

Indeed, earlier this month keyboardist Christian 'Flake' Lorenz revealed of Rammstein's time in lockdown: "The fact that we couldn’t perform live increased our creativity. We had more time to think of new things and less distraction. As a result, we recorded a record that we hadn’t planned on." So we should get to hear a ton of new material live the next time the band are in town…
