German titans Rammstein have confirmed yet another UK show for 2020.
Following the announcements that they'll be performing at Belfast's Boucher Road Playing Field in Northern Ireland on June 17, and the Ricoh Arena in Coventry three days later, the six-piece have also just unveiled a date at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on June 14. The show will once again break records, serving as Rammstein's biggest ever UK headline show. This will also reportedly be "the second of two shows to be announced in Great Britain for 2020".
If fans have already booked tickets to see Rammstein in Coventry, the band are offering the chance to exchange their tickets for the Cardiff date for those who find this new location more convenient – if you're in that boat, you must contact your point of purchase to confirm the exchange before August 9.
These UK shows are sandwiched in between a whole load of huge arena and stadium dates throughout Europe, running from May 25 in Austria, to August 4 in Denmark.

Kerrang! recently spoke to Rammstein's lighting designer Roland Griel to talk about what goes into such an epic live show. He told us that around 400 people work on the setting up, taking down, transporting, operation, maintenance, feeding, management, and blowing up of each and every gig.
There’s even a second team on hand to start work at the following venue, getting ready to set up and build the stage. Bonkers.
“Going into stadiums, you can only bring in about 10 trucks at a time, so you have to make sure you bring in the right one at the right time for what it’s got in it, that there are enough people around,” says Roland. “I think they’ve got the load out down to four and a half hours now. Then they get in the trucks and drive 500km to the next show. Then they load all the pyro and lights, which takes about eight hours. Repeat that until the tour is over!”
