It looks like Rammstein have been working on new music during their coronavirus downtime. Drummer Christoph Schneider said the following about that on the “Rodeo Radio” podcast:
“We still have so many ideas lying around, so many unfinished songs.”
“We have met and we are working on new songs. We want to work on songs. But whether or not it will turn into an album, nobody knows yet.”

Rammstein have shared a new documentary focusing on the four-day photo session for their 2019 untitled album. The band worked on the shoot with Danish photographer Jes Larsen.
Rammstein have officially cancelled their European stadium tour due to the coronavirus pandemic. For now, the band’s North American tour is still on, but that is likely to change. Rammstein commented:
“Due to local event restrictions related to COVID-19, which now affect almost all planned dates, the band’s 2020 stadium tour can unfortunately not take place. We are currently checking whether it is possible to reschedule the dates and will communicate any updates as soon as possible! All tickets will remain valid until then. Thank you again for your understanding and patience.”
Rammstein have issued a statement regarding their 2020 tour dates. Many of the shows are expected to be impacted by the coronavirus pandemic, but the band said they are currently “working on a solution. ”
The group said the following:
“Recently, several international governments have extended their bans on large-scale events. Also affected, unfortunately, are some of the dates for the 2020 Rammstein Tour.
We are working on a solution for this difficult situation together with our partners in all the affected countries, and we hope for the understanding of those who have purchased tickets for the coming shows.
As soon as we have precise and definitive information, we will communicate this immediately.
Until then we ask for your understanding and patience, and we would also please request that you refrain for the time being from addressing further questions to the local event organizers, the band management, or the ticketsystems. An update will follow as soon as possible.”
A recent report from Bild seemed to suggest that Rammstein’s Till Lindemann had been admitted to the ICU at a Berlin hospital after testing positive for COVID-19. The singer was said to have gotten sick upon returning to Germany following a show with his Lindemann project in Moscow, Russia on March 15. However, Rammstein have since issued a statement saying the frontman did go to the hospital, but he actually tested negative for COVID-19:
“Yesterday evening Till Lindemann was admitted to a hospital on the band’s doctor’s advice. He spent the night in intensive care but has been moved as he is feeling better. Till has tested negative for the coronavirus.”
Rammstein have announced that they will be re-releasing “Live Aus Berlin” on DVD this Friday (March 27). Pre-orders can be found HERE. The band commented:
“Get ready for the re-release of “Live aus Berlin” – Rammstein’s iconic Berlin concert in August of 1998! Enjoy this concert-film, including the previously censored rendition of “Bück dich“!”
