Happy birthday to German industrial juggernauts Einstürzende Neubauten, who'll celebrate their third decade on this earth with a set of special performances.

Einstürzende Neubauten's 30th anniversary will be celebrated with a tour through Europe and the United States.

Concerts will be held in selected cities, but also at locations that are significant to the band.

And it'll be more than just a single concert event during the anniversary tour. The band is planning to make a guest performance on an additional day, presenting the audience with a mixed program of the Einstürzende Neubauten, films, solo shows, guests and friends.

More specifically, the band will play a great concert on the first night, while the second night will be divided into 3-part program.

It'll begin with films and installations. Afterwards the band will play a further, but much shorter concert in which the Neubauten will present material that has never been played live, hasn't been played live for a long time, or never in this form.
The evening will be rounded off with shows and performances by the individual Einstürzende Neubauten members, recomposed from city to city

More details are forthcoming, but the band has chosen five North American cities for their 30th Anniversary Celebration, with NYC getting the look at Webster Hall on 12/14 and Bowery Ballroom on 12/15. Tickets go on sale at noon on 9/24.
