What takes a long time will finally be good: Actually, the first concerts of the Rammstein European tour should take place in spring 2020. But the corona pandemic made it impossible to hold events of this dimension – two postponements were the result. But now it’s supposed to start on May 15 in Prague: Twelve days before the band around Till Lindemann’s first stop, the stage at the Prague-Letňany airfield is almost completely set up. As can be seen from various posts on social media, the Czech capital is already working on the sound.
The crème de la crème of rock gave a concert at Prague Airport
The venue has an approximate capacity of 80,000 people and has hosted some of rock’s greatest musicians in recent years. In 2018 alone, AC/DC, the Rolling Stones and Ozzy Osbourne performed outdoors; a year later, Metallica and Muse were guests. This year Guns n’ Roses will be giving a concert at the airport in the “Golden City” on June 18th, almost exactly a month after Rammstein.
“Come time, come advice, come classic rock”
In November 2021, guitarist Richard Kruspe confirmed that the next Rammstein record should be released before the start of the next tour – he was right: On Friday (April 29), the group’s eighth studio album “Zeit” was released. RS reviewer Max Gösche gave the eleven pieces three stars out of a possible five. He found: “Fortunately, ‘Zeit’ is not a reflection of age in the neoclassical fog, as the previously released title track suggested. But she got a few gray hairs, the Neue-Deutsche-Härte-Perm. Come time, come advice, come classic rock.”
