150 demonstrators – protests against Rammstein concerts in Switzerland

Concertgoers in turn chased the demonstrators and the police had to separate the two camps. The youth organization of the Swiss Social Democrats had previously launched a petition to cancel the concerts and collected 7,500 signatures (see video above).

In recent weeks, several women have made serious accusations against Rammstein singer Till Lindemann. For example, they described how young women were apparently specially selected for sex with the singer. They would have been approached at concerts and Instagram and invited to specially organized aftershow parties. Two women even described alleged sexual acts they would not have consented to. Some also suspect that they have been drugged.

Band still denies
While the Berlin public prosecutor’s office is already investigating, the band continues to deny the allegations. The record label Universal Music has suspended cooperation with the group. Two concerts are scheduled at the end of July at Vienna’s Ernst Happel Stadium. The Greens, among others, are in favor of abolition and a corresponding petition has also been started in Germany.

“Men-dominated music journalism and serials have tried in the best male-dominated way to undermine women’s credibility, emulate the classic perpetrator-victim reversal, and speak romantically of ‘groupieism’ rather than abuse of power.” and sexualized violence,” said Meri Disoski, the club’s deputy president and spokeswoman for women.
