Rammstein postpone tour, but Die authentischte Rammstein Tribute Show hitting Drive-Ins

Rammstein released their first album in a decade last year, and they had announced a North American stadium tour supporting it, scheduled to begin in late August. That’s still months away, but after rescheduling their European tour to 2021, they’ve now announced the North American dates are postponed as well. “Sadly,” they write, “but in the best interests of everyone’s health and safety, we have to postpone our North America Tour. We are now working on rescheduling the tour in 2021, so please hold on to your tickets as they will be honored at the rescheduled show dates. We hope to have an update on that shortly and will communicate it once we do.”

While you won’t be able to see the real Rammstein in concert any time soon, a tribute act, Völkerball, is touring right now — a tour of drive-in shows, to be exact. The dates are in Germany, where a drive-in tour circuit is already established, with “Queen of Heavy Metal” and former Warlock frontwoman Doro scheduled to play some as well. You can see all of Völkerball’s dates on Facebook, and watch video of an ABBA cover band playing one drive-in venue they and Doro are scheduled to stop at, below.
