Rammstein have unveiled a new tour documentary, Rammstein – Behind The Scenes of the World Stadium Tour 2019-2024. The full documentary can be viewed below.
The German band’s stadium tour spanned five years, 135 shows, and over six million concertgoers. Each concert saw the construction of a massive stage that allowed for an unprecedented stage production from the German industrial vets.
The 47-minute documentary goes behind the scenes, following Rammstein’s crew as they orchestrate each concert and navigate its many moving parts, from sound and visuals, to hospitality and backstage logistics. For those who are interested in the fields of stage production, live sound, tour management, etc., the video offers invaluable insight into the process of putting on one of the most elaborate live metal productions ever.

Reads the official description of the doc:
“From 2019 to 2024, a video team followed the production, focusing on the impressive efforts of the crew and their various trades. The footage provides an authentic and powerful look behind the scenes of the production: from intricate stage construction and lighting design to pyrotechnics, logistics, and countless other tasks. It highlights the expertise, tireless dedication, close collaboration, and sense of responsibility of an exceptional crew — qualities essential to creating a show of this magnitude.”
However, you won’t find much of Rammstein themselves in the video, which has its YouTube comments disabled. Aside from a few quick backstage/onstage cuts to Till Lindemann and company, the footage focuses primarily on the bands techs and crew members.
While Rammstein’s stadium tour made headlines for its stage show, it also garnered its share of negative press via accusations of sexual misconduct brought against Lindemann by a female fan. The controversies have left the future of Rammstein murky, with the band sharing in a collective statement that it’s still “actively dealing with the allegations” as of August.
