Rammstein have announced that they will have pianists opening for them on their upcoming stadium tours.

Two sets of piano players, Duo Jatekok and Duo Abélard, are set to support the band’s shows in both Europe and North America. View the full tour itinerary below.

The news follows the release of the German band’s eighth album, ‘Zeit’, which was released last month. This is not the first time Duo Jatekok has opened for Rammstein – they also acted as support for them in 2017 and 2019, even collaborating with the provocative industrial band on stage.

“Hi everyone! We are delighted to announce today our participation to Rammstein’s 2022 stadium tour!” the French concert pianists Duo Abélard announced via Instagram. “We couldn’t be more thankful to the band for inviting us, we cannot wait to see you all very soon.”

In a four-star review of their latest record, NME wrote: “‘Zeit’ might be a more reflective album than previous Rammstein records, but it’s still an energetic, swaggering beast. Nearly 30 years into their career, the band remain as ambitious and as fiery as ever with their nightmarish, industrial rock sounding as daring as ever.”
