Rammstein is bringing its stadium-leveling 2022 stop in Mexico City to movie screens. Rammstein – Live In Mexico City, a new concert film capturing the band’s three-night takeover of Foro Sol, hits cinemas worldwide starting Nov. 4.

Those three dates, Oct. 1, 2 and 4, 2022, closed out a run that had already flattened seven U.S. stadiums and one in Montreal, where the trek kicked off Aug. 21. It marked the band’s only trip through North America with its full stadium production, pyrotechnics included, backed by seven 747s and roughly 210 crew members needed just to haul the whole thing overseas.

Shot in 4K, the film puts nearly 200,000 fans’ worth of Foro Sol chaos on the big screen, running through a set stacked with staples like “Armee Der Tristen,” “Deutschland,” “Du Riechst So Gut,” “Sonne” and “Du Hast,” plus a rare live outing for “Te Quiero Puta!”

Paul Dugdale, who’s previously pointed cameras at The Rolling Stones, Taylor Swift, Elton John and Adele, directed the film. Alongside the Nov. 4 theatrical run, a live album pulled from the same shows lands on physical and digital formats Nov. 20.

Fans can sign up for screening updates here now, where full cinema listings go live Sept. 23 at 5 p.m. CEST / 4 p.m. BST / 11 a.m. EDT / 8 a.m. PDT. Trafalgar Releasing is handling the worldwide rollout, with the exception of Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Alto Adige, and Luxembourg, where Filmwelt Distribution takes over. Release dates shift slightly elsewhere too: France gets the film Nov. 6 only, while Japan splits it across Nov. 5 and 18.

The tour behind the film ran alongside two Rammstein studio records: the band’s untitled 2019 album, which cracked 14 national charts including a U.S. Top 10 finish, and Zeit, out April 29, 2022, almost exactly three years after its predecessor.

Three decades in, Rammstein has moved more than 20 million albums worldwide without ever swapping a single member. The Berlin sextet’s lineup of Till Lindemann (vocals), Paul Landers (guitar), Richard Z. Kruspe (guitar), Flake (keyboards), Oliver Riedel (bass) and Christoph Schneider (drums) has stayed locked in place since forming in 1994 and dropping its debut, Herzeleid, in 1995.

The follow-up, Sehnsucht, arrived in 1997 and turned the band into a global name, powered by the Grammy-nominated “Du Hast.” Mutter came next in 2001, backing what turned out to be the band’s last U.S. tour for nearly 10 years. Reise, Reise followed in 2004, led by the Grammy-nominated “Mein Teil,” with Rosenrot landing a year later. Liebe Ist Für Alle Da, album number six, arrived in 2009 and became the first since Mutter to get North American touring support: on Dec. 11, 2010, Rammstein played its first U.S. show in a decade, a one-off at Madison Square Garden that sold out in under 20 minutes. Extensive North American runs in 2011 and 2012 followed, including the band’s U.S. network television debut, a performance of “Du Hast” and “Feuer Frei!” on Jimmy Kimmel Live! The band finally broke the U.S. Top 10 on May 17, 2019, when its untitled album debuted at No. 9 on the Billboard 200.

Trafalgar Releasing bills itself as the biggest name in event cinema, reaching more than 15,000 screens across 132 countries. A branch of Trafalgar Entertainment, the company handles production, acquisition, marketing, and distribution for live and recorded content, with a client list that includes Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, BTS, Metallica, Oasis, Coldplay , and Billie Eilish, among others. Its recent haul includes distributing Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour, the highest-grossing concert film ever made.

A city without community, history or any destination beyond greater efficiency: this is the world awaiting listeners inside “Neon Metropolis,” the latest single from Quebec sci-fi death/thrash trio DISSIMULATOR. Inspired by guitarist and vocalist Claude Leduc’s nighttime walks through Montreal, the song imagines a solitary observer wandering through an autonomous megacity. Its inhabitants move to […]
