FEUERENGEL – A TRIBUTE TO RAMMSTEIN
MARCH 9, 7 P.M., CONGRESS CENTER, RAMSTEIN
There are many cover bands, but not that many tribute band. Only Feuerengel can do what others can’t; pay tribute in a highly professional way, no doubt about it. Feuerengel has committed itself to exactly imitating its original Rammstein with flamethrowers and showers of sparks. The sound, lightshow and stage can be confusingly similar and the six full-blood musicians can almost be mistaken for the original band members. Tickets: https://congresscenterramstein.reservix.de/
