Where the Bands Are (Rammstein, 30 July 2022)

~ @AnnaLind1 ~ Leave a comment

Those of you who know me know that Rammstein is not my obvious concert choice, and you are right. I only knew two songs before the show (Du hast and Deutschland), so you might wonder how I ended up in Ullevi to see the last of the band’s three consecutive shows in Gothenburg. Well, hadn't … Continue reading Where the Bands Are (Rammstein, 30 July 2022)
