Along with that in the following days a few teasers were uploaded to the band's social media channels containing studio snippets from the yet unreleased song "Ramm4", that the band played on their recent tours in 2016–17. The presale tickets were available from 5 November 2018 and were available to the public from 7 November 2018. Most of the venues sold out within days. And in the following days the band added a few other shows to sold-out events, mostly to the following day. On 10 April 2019, a limited number of tickets were available in some venues, due to the new single, "

This will be their first show in Wales since July 2005.

    Concert synopsis

    The show begins with "Music for the Royal Fireworks" played over the speakers, as a screen rises up above the stage. As the music builds to a crescendo, Rammstein's stylised R logo flashes onto the screen, as Christoph walks on stage to his drums, and there is an explosion of pyrotechnics. The rest of the band then emerges from the bottom of the stage, Richard first, then Paul, followed by Ollie and Flake, and finally Till, clad in a snakeskin military uniform, complete with jacket and boots. They then launch straight into " Was Ich liebe", during which black smoke is rising from the stage and delay towers. Next up, Till discards his jacket, and the band continues with "

    ", but tricks the audience into singing the hook at the wrong time, before the band starts playing the hook properly. As the band starts playing " Puppe", Till then goes under the stage, and comes back pushing an enormous metal pram. He then puts on a camera that goes over his eye, and looks inside the pram, to reveal a deformed baby doll with its mouth stuck in a scream. During the chorus, flames erupt from the pram, and black confetti falls down on the audience. The pram is then moved off stage, and the band continues with " Heirate mich" and "

    ", Till comes back in a bloodied chef's outfit, wheeling a huge cooking pot. He then lifts the lid to reveal Flake inside, playing his keyboard. Till then starts singing into a microphone with a knife attached to the end. After the second chorus, he then brings out a variety of flamethrowers, and roasts the bottom of the pot. Finally, Flake escapes the pot, and Till chases him off the stage. They then return to the stage for "

    ". Midway through the bridge of the song, a roadie brings out a crossbow, as Till picks it up, aims and fires, sending fireworks shooting above the audience, causing a series of explosions. They then stop, and start playing "Sonne", which is accompanied by twenty-foot theatrical flames, around the audience. They then finish the set with " Ohne dich", during which sparks rain down over Till. They then leave the stage, as a graphic on the screen shows a smartphone turning on the flashlight, encouraging the audience to do the same. The band then appears on a small stage in the middle of the stadium, with their opening act Duo Jatekok, and play a piano version of " Engel". They then return to stage for the first encore and play " Ausländer", during which Flake crowd-surfs in an inflatable rubber dinghy. When Flake returns to the stage, they all launch into " Du riechst so gut", where Till shoots a bow shooting sparks. They finish the first encore with "
