On this day, 18 July 2005, German heavy rockers Rammstein played Cardiff’s International Arena on their Reise Reise Tour. Support was provided by Devil Sold His Soul.,
It was on this tour that the band was faced with several lawsuits resulting from severe fire breathing accidents involving audience members.
Reise, Reise is the band’s fourth studio album reaching no 37 in the UK album charts.
Formed in Berlin in 1994. The band's lineup—consisting of lead vocalist Till Lindemann, lead guitarist Richard Kruspe, rhythm guitarist Paul Landers, bassist Oliver Riedel, drummer Christoph Schneider, and keyboardist Christian "Flake" Lorenz—has remained unchanged throughout their history, along with their approach to songwriting, which consists of Lindemann writing and singing the lyrics over instrumental pieces the rest of the band have completed beforehand.
Prior to their formation, some members were associated with the punk rock acts Feeling B and First Arsch.
