On his first solo run through Europe – a string of ten festival dates across the continent, Rammstein frontman Till Lindemann has performed in front of some 250,000 fans, according to a press release from promoter Handwerker Promotion.
The number was calculated based on the capacities of the festivals on the days when Lindemann performed. The tour included stops at Hellfest in France, Graspop Metal Meeting in Belgium, and Rockfest in Finland. The “crowning glory,” according to Handwerker Promotion, “was the band’s performance at the Masters of Rock Festival in the Czech Republic.”
For this successful partnership, Handwerker presented Lindemann and his band with a special plaque.
Fred Handwerker, European agent and managing director of Handwerker Promotion, commented: “The first festival tour marked a milestone for all of us, full of energy, passion and incredible resonance throughout Europe. It was impressive to see how artists and fans created unforgettable moments together. We are now looking forward to the upcoming arena tour with 26 unique shows in Europe. We are convinced that these concerts will set new standards – with spectacular productions and an atmosphere that is second to none. Europe can look forward to another chapter full of emotion, music and community. We would like to thank everyone involved and can’t wait to rock the arenas together!”
Handwerker was referring to the Lindemann’s “Meine Welt” tour, which will visit European arenas this coming fall, and is already partly sold out.
Aside from some of the main venues in Germany, including Leipzig, Frankfurt, Dortmund, Dresden, Hamburg, and Munich, the European tour will also visit Lisbon, Paris, Barcelona, Istanbul and London, among other cities. Full itinerary below.
