Rammstein Australia Tour 2027

Rammstein have not announced any concerts in Australia or New Zealand for 2027. As of 9 October 2026 there is no tour, festival booking or one-off show in either country, and no 2027 dates have been published anywhere in the world. The band's most recent tour, the Rammstein Stadium Tour, ended in Gelsenkirchen on 31 July 2024, where it had begun five years earlier, and it never came to this part of the world.

Australian and New Zealand fans have had only two chances to see the Berlin sextet. In January and February 2001 Rammstein were on the Big Day Out, finishing the long Sehnsucht tour, and they played sideshows at the Powerstation in Auckland and the Enmore Theatre in Sydney. Ten years later they returned to the Big Day Out in 2011, by then one of the biggest live acts in the world, with the full flame-throwing production of the Liebe ist für alle da Tour.

This page sets out what is and is not known about Rammstein's plans as of 9 October 2026 and gives a full account of every concert they have played in Australia and New Zealand, from the Powerstation on Thursday 18 January 2001 to the Claremont Showground in Perth on Sunday 6 February 2011, with the songs they played.

Rammstein Australia Tour 2027: what is announced so far

There is no official Rammstein tour of Australia or New Zealand in 2027, and no Rammstein tour of anywhere has been announced for 2027 as of 9 October 2026. The band's last major news came in September 2026, when they announced a live album, Rammstein – Live in Mexico City, recorded at the Foro Sol in Mexico City in October 2022. A live album is not a tour announcement.

The Stadium Tour, launched in May 2019 to support the untitled seventh album, was the biggest undertaking in the band's history. It was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, with European and North American dates postponed first to 2021 and then to 2022, and it continued through 2023 and 2024 in Europe and North America before ending in Gelsenkirchen on Wednesday 31 July 2024. No leg was played in Australia, New Zealand or Asia.

Rammstein have always worked in cycles, with long pauses for side projects between tours: Richard Kruspe fronts Emigrate and Till Lindemann has his own project, Lindemann. The line-up itself has never changed since 1994. When the band return to the road, they usually announce a whole tour at once, often a year or more in advance, so a 2027 Australian date would normally be known well before it happens.

Fifteen years have now passed since the band's last Australian show. Demand clearly exists, but nothing official suggests that a visit is planned. Until Rammstein announce dates themselves, any 2027 Australian or New Zealand tour list, ticket listing or 'presale code' should be treated as unconfirmed.

Before the Rammstein Australia Tour 2027: Australia/NZ concert history

Rammstein's first visit to the region came at the end of the long tour for Sehnsucht, which had made them stars well beyond Germany thanks to 'Du hast' and 'Engel'. In January 2001 they joined the Big Day Out, the travelling festival that then defined the Australian summer, and played two headline sideshows of their own along the way.

The run began in New Zealand. Rammstein played the Powerstation in Auckland on Thursday 18 January 2001, a 15-song club show that opened with 'Rammstein' and closed with 'Laichzeit' and 'Wollt ihr das Bett in Flammen sehen?', and the Big Day Out in Auckland the next day, Friday 19 January. In Australia the festival took them to the Gold Coast on 21 January, Sydney on Friday 26 January, Melbourne on 28 January, Adelaide on 2 February and Perth on Sunday 4 February 2001. Between festival days they played the Enmore Theatre in Sydney on Wednesday 24 January, a 14-song set that is the longest the archive records for the band in Australia.

The Sydney Big Day Out of 26 January 2001 is remembered above all for the death of 16-year-old Jessica Michalik, who was crushed in the mosh pit during Limp Bizkit's set. It led to major changes in crowd management at Australian festivals in the following years.

Rammstein came back ten years later as headliners of the 2011 Big Day Out, on the Liebe ist für alle da Tour. They opened at Mount Smart Stadium in Auckland on Friday 21 January 2011, then played the Gold Coast on 23 January, two Sydney days on Wednesday 26 and Thursday 27 January, Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne on 30 January, the Adelaide Showground on 4 February and the Claremont Showground in Perth on Sunday 6 February 2011. Every set ran to 13 songs, from 'Rammlied' to 'Pussy'.

Those seven Big Day Out shows of 2011 are still the band's most recent appearances in Australia and New Zealand. They were followed by the Made in Germany 1995–2011 greatest-hits tour, the 2016 and 2017 festival tours and the Stadium Tour of 2019 to 2024, none of which travelled to Australia or New Zealand.

The table below lists 15 documented Australia/NZ concerts by Rammstein between 2001 and 2011, with the most shows in Sydney (4), Auckland (3), Perth (2), Adelaide (2), Melbourne (2), Gold Coast (2). It is not exhaustive: it only includes documented shows.

Rammstein Australia Tour 2027 and Australia/NZ festivals

Every Australian concert Rammstein have played outside their two 2001 club sideshows has been at the Big Day Out. In 2001 they were on the bill in Auckland, the Gold Coast, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth; in 2011 they returned as one of the headliners, playing all seven dates including two in Sydney.

The Big Day Out has since ended, its last edition being held in 2014. Rammstein have not played any other Australian or New Zealand festival, and no festival booking has been announced for 2027.

Rammstein Australia Tour 2027: career and records

Rammstein formed in Berlin in 1994. Its line-up has never changed: singer Till Lindemann, lead guitarist Richard Kruspe, rhythm guitarist Paul Landers, bassist Oliver Riedel, drummer Christoph Schneider and keyboard player Christian 'Flake' Lorenz, some of whom had played in the East German punk bands Feeling B and First Arsch. Their debut album, Herzeleid (1995), was produced by Jacob Hellner and helped the music press coin the term Neue Deutsche Härte.

Sehnsucht (1997) went to number one in Germany and carried 'Engel' and 'Du hast' around the world, leading to a tour that lasted almost four years and the live album Live aus Berlin (1999). Mutter (2001), with 'Sonne', 'Links 2 3 4', 'Ich will' and 'Mutter', reached the Australian top ten. Reise, Reise (2004) brought 'Mein Teil' and 'Amerika', followed by Rosenrot (2005).

Liebe ist für alle da (2009) was briefly placed on the German index of media harmful to minors because of the song 'Ich tu dir weh', yet it reached number nine in Australia. After a ten-year gap the untitled seventh album of 2019, with 'Deutschland', 'Radio' and 'Ausländer', topped the charts in 14 countries and reached number five here.

Zeit, written and recorded during the COVID-19 lockdowns and released in April 2022, became the band's highest-charting album in Australia, at number three. Rammstein are widely regarded as the most successful German-language band of all time, and their concerts, with flame-throwers, pyrotechnics and elaborate stage sets, are central to that success.

Rammstein Australia Tour 2027: fifteen years and counting

No other act of Rammstein's size has stayed away from Australia for so long while touring so heavily elsewhere. Since February 2011 the band have played arenas across Europe and North America, a run of festivals and then more than five years of stadiums, but none of it reached Australia or New Zealand.

Part of the reason is the scale of the production. The Stadium Tour used a stage tower of steel, pyrotechnics and a second stage in the crowd, a set-up built for stadium runs in Europe and North America. Taking that kind of production south would require stadium bookings in several cities, and no such tour has been announced.

For fans, the practical advice is simple: sign up below for the alert. If Rammstein announce Australian or New Zealand dates, the venues, presale and general sale will be listed here as soon as they are confirmed.

Rammstein Australia Tour 2027: the Big Day Out years

Both of Rammstein's Australian tours were built around the Big Day Out, the touring festival that ran from 1992 to 2014. In 2001 they were a fast-rising band finishing a four-year tour; by 2011 they were headliners, bringing pyrotechnics to outdoor festival stages from the Gold Coast to Perth.

The 2011 run was notable for two consecutive Sydney days, on Australia Day and the day after, and for a Melbourne show at Flemington Racecourse. The Gold Coast, Adelaide and Perth shows meant that fans in every mainland state capital and the Gold Coast could see the band without travelling interstate.

Rammstein Australia Tour 2027: Auckland and New Zealand

New Zealand has had Rammstein three times, all in Auckland. The Powerstation club show on 18 January 2001 is one of the most intimate concerts the band have played in the region, and it was followed the next day by the Auckland Big Day Out. In 2011 the band opened the Big Day Out run at Mount Smart Stadium on 21 January.

Both visits began in Auckland and then moved on to Australia, the usual pattern for tours of the region. No New Zealand date has been announced for 2027.

Rammstein Australia Tour 2027: Sydney and Melbourne

Sydney has seen Rammstein four times: the Enmore Theatre and the Big Day Out in January 2001, and two Big Day Out days in January 2011. Melbourne has had the band at the Big Day Out in 2001 and at Flemington Racecourse in 2011.

Brisbane fans have only seen Rammstein on the Gold Coast, at the Big Day Out in 2001 and 2011. Adelaide and Perth have each had two Big Day Out shows.

Rammstein Australia Tour 2027: what to expect live

Rammstein's Big Day Out sets were built for the festival format: 11 to 13 songs in 2001 and exactly 13 songs at every 2011 show. The 2001 sets opened with 'Rammstein' and drew heavily on Sehnsucht and Herzeleid, with 'Bestrafe mich', 'Weisses Fleisch', 'Sehnsucht', 'Du riechst so gut', 'Engel', 'Du hast' and 'Links 2 3 4', a song then brand new from the yet-to-be-released Mutter.

The 2011 shows opened with 'Rammlied', 'Waidmanns Heil' and 'Keine Lust', moved through 'Feuer frei!', 'Du riechst so gut', 'Benzin' and 'Links 2 3 4', and ended with 'Du hast', 'Sonne', 'Ich will' and 'Pussy', with 'Wiener Blut' and 'Mein Teil' earlier in the set. 'Du hast', 'Du riechst so gut' and 'Links 2 3 4' are the only songs played at every one of the band's documented concerts in the region.

Pyrotechnics are central to every Rammstein show, with flame-throwers, explosions and Lindemann's burning coat. Any future Australian set would draw on Zeit and the untitled album as well, but no 2027 production has been announced for the region.

Rammstein Australia Tour 2027 tickets and presales

There are no Rammstein tickets for Australia or New Zealand in 2027, because no concerts have been announced. When the band tour, tickets normally go on sale through a fan-club presale followed by the official ticketing agent for each venue, and big stadium tours tend to be announced many months ahead.

Be wary of anything that appears before an official announcement. Resale listings, social media posts promising 'presale codes' and lists of 2027 Australian dates that do not come from the band are not official. Tickets for major Australian concerts are now usually mobile and name-locked, so buy through the official outlet or its official resale service to make sure the ticket is in your name.
