Die 'Stein Are Back

[Ray de Galles]

That's not much of an upgrade on Stade de Franchise (in fact, capacity-wise it might be smaller). I thought they were going to go bigger, I wonder if there is another show to add.

[Snake Plissken]

Slightly smaller. However, I was reading that the pitch at the SdF was ripped up in order to accommodate the show. Maybe other places weren't willing to go quite that far.

Ironically, my gig here in Cov will have ended. I could have walked to the stadium from my flat, or parked at work.

[Ray de Galles]

Surprisingly, the capacity at Coventry is a full 10,000 more for concerts than Franchise's.

Still the possibility of one more mainland UK stadium as well, though it may depend on how Coventry sells.

R+ logos have been appearing on London landmarks...

My older daughter was at the concert in Prague last night. She hasn't yet surfaced so I can find out how it was

[Ray de Galles]

The band have teased an announcement of a show at the Millennium. This is wonderful news :

[Walt Flanagans Dog]

Confirmed as 14 June.

[Snake Plissken]

Must have listened to this in double digits.

[Snake Plissken]

New Lindemann album is out "F & M". On Spotify. Not as out there as "Skills in Pills", though he's singing in German so that might not be true. The videos have definitely been insane. He's also touring next year, with one London date in February.

[Walt Flanagans Dog]

Lindemann tests positive, in critical condition but showing signs of recovery.

[Ray de Galles]

I'm amazed that he was still playing shows...and that Russia was allowing them.

[Snake Plissken]

Russia hasn't got any cases, ahem ahem.

[Ray de Galles]

Even the Russian state have admitted over 1,000 cases and begun a shutdown.

[Bored Of Education]

Lindemann tests positive, in critical condition but showing signs of recovery.

He tests negative according to that report.

[Walt Flanagans Dog]

It has been changed since the original story, it previously said the opposite.

[G-Man]

Am I the only one who looks at this thread title with some excitement, expecting to learn of the latest exploits of Luton Town's legendary South African strikers, only to realise -- every time -- that it's about a band I can take or leave?

[Bored Of Education]

Oh, bugger, Sunday was a bit of a pain in the arse but Wednesday...?

[Snake Plissken]

Second single from the new album "Zeit", this is "Zick Zack". Having a go at cosmetic surgery in the song and video in a way that only they can.

Album out at the end of the month.

[Bored Of Education]

Did those rescheduled dates go ahead? I don't recall anything about them

[Ray de Galles]

No, happening this summer.

[Snake Plissken]

Album is out... well up to snuff on first listen.

[Ray de Galles]

Not at all sure those dates are legit. They certainly don't appear on the band's site or any credible news sites.

[Duncan Gardner]

Ormeau Park has a stadium?
