Till Lindemann: Trout rain and controversial show divides Uelzen!
On June 21, 2025, the German musician Till Lindemann performed at the Metal Air Festival in Uelzen and caused quite a stir. During his spectacular stage show, which featured a dazzling production, he catapulted trout into the audience, which caused mixed reactions both from viewers and on social media. The infamous “fish deposit” sparked heated discussions, reports az online.
Over 5,000 visitors experienced the performance, in which Lindemann performed a total of 16 songs. Songs in the set list included “Praise Abort,” “Fish On,” and “I Hate Children.” During the performance, Lindemann also threw cakes into the audience and was carried through the crowd on a sedan chair, which made the concert experience even more intense. He was supported by the bands “Gothminister” and “Megaherz”, who performed their own special effects shows.
Diversity of opinions
The reactions to Lindemann's appearance were divided. While some fans celebrated his provocative production, critics expressed concerns about the treatment of animals in his shows. PETA had already pointed out Lindemann's treatment of animals in 2020, and the discussions about the trout have reignited the debate. However, organizer Ulrich Gustävel pointed out that the trout were dead and gutted and that they had been informed about the special show in advance.
Parallel to the festival, a benefit concert entitled “Break The Silence” also took place in Uelzen, which aimed to raise awareness of the consequences of sexual violence and to collect donations for the Violetta Dannenberg association. This initiative was launched by a local initiator who was motivated by the debate surrounding the allegations against Lindemann, as reported Rolling Stones.
Outlook for the upcoming tour
Till Lindemann's performances are part of his international tour, which will take him through various countries in the coming months. After his Uelzen performance, he will perform at the “Graspop Metal Meeting” in Belgium on June 22nd and has already planned further concerts in cities such as Erfurt, Leipzig and Amsterdam. The planned performances arouse great interest, and fans are eagerly awaiting the next show highlights that he has to offer with his provocative performances.
