Rammstein — Pinkpop, 2016
Why this recording
Of Rammstein's four Pinkpop appearances, in 1997, 2002, 2010 and 2016, only the first and the last were filmed, according to the festival's archive channel, which has published both. This one went online on 25 December 2025, almost ten years after the show. The chapters clearly set apart the encore, which begins at 1:12:45 with “Amerika”. Just before, the cover of Depeche Mode's “Stripped” starts at 1:04:26.
Simon Janvier, live-sound professional and editor of the catalogue
Live capture of Rammstein headlining the Pinkpop festival at Megaland (Landgraaf, Netherlands) on 11 June 2016. The German industrial sextet — Till Lindemann on vocals, Richard Kruspe and Paul Landers on guitars, Oliver Riedel on bass, Christoph Schneider on drums and Flake on keys — delivers a filmed live concert that sweeps across its catalogue, from Reise, Reise to Mein Herz brennt, taking in Du hast, Ich will and a cover of Depeche Mode’s Stripped. The set closes on the triptych Amerika, Engel and Sonne. Pyrotechnics, theatrical staging and massive Neue Deutsche Härte: this professional capture from Pinkpop’s official archive restores the visual and sonic excess of a Rammstein live show. A reference industrial-metal full concert, ideal for revisiting the band on a major European festival stage in 2016. Pinkpop, one of Europe’s oldest open-air festivals, provides a setting here worthy of the Rammstein spectacle. An official capture ideal for a full viewing of the concert.
