Rammstein doesn’t play concerts — Rammstein stages unparalleled, unforgettable experiences that linger with you well past the final note.

The German industrial/metal band is known for its unreal live concert spectacles, which include fireworks, explosions, bombast and a general sensory overload that is quite a lot to process.

And, apparently, setting all of this madness up for each stadium gig takes more than 60 hours! But don’t take our word for it — watch this time-lapse video released by the band this week. Notice the number of many trucks, workers and incredible attention to detail that goes into this spectacle:

Rammstein recently announced a string of European stadium gigs, as well as its first-ever stadium tour of North America. Set for August and September, the dates can be seen below … and, as the above has demonstrated, it makes sense to see a day or two (or three) separating each show, as we now have a clearer understanding of what goes into each gig.

Thursday, August 20, 2020 – Montreal, QC – Parc Jean-Drapeau
Sunday, August 23, 2020 – Philadelphia, PA – Lincoln Financial Field
Thursday, August 27, 2020 – Washington, DC – FedExField
Sunday, August 30, 2020 – Minneapolis, MN – U.S. Bank Stadium
Thursday, September 3, 2020 – Chicago, IL – Soldier Field
Sunday, September 6, 2020 – Foxborough, MA – Gillette Stadium
Thursday, September 10, 2020 – East Rutherford, NJ – MetLife Stadium
Wednesday, September 16, 2020 – San Antonio, TX – Alamodome
Saturday, September 19, 2020 – Los Angeles, CA – Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum
Sunday, September 27, 2020 – Mexico City, MX – Foro Sol

All of this comes after Rammstein released its self-titled seventh studio album in May 2019 — ending a decade-long drought between records and announcing that yes, it was very much still alive, aggressive and dynamic.
