Here is a line up article on from the big day out website…
A decade since ruling over BIG DAY OUT with a reign of fire, pyrotechnics, monstrous riffs, wicked humour and industrial savagery, RAMMSTEIN will return this summer to reclaim their sovereign territory. The RAMMSTEIN live experience is “dizzyingly ridiculous”, says the BBC. “Rock is at its best when confrontational, subversive, curiously camp and bold, which is why RAMMSTEIN are currently one of the most important bands in the genre.” Armed with their sixth album, Liebe ist für Alle da, Germany’s infamous techno-metal masters bring nothing less than the greatest show on earth: “RAMMSTEIN are in pulverising form, the crowd are going crazy, the atmosphere is electric and the firebombs launching from the stage are like World War III on apocalypse LSD” (The Quietus, February 2010). Bow down to your kings, BIG DAY OUT 2011, for RAMMSTEIN have returned.

WE have finally received a valid information about the release date of the upcoming video: “Haifisch” (“Shark”) is the third single from the RAMMSTEIN album “Liebe ist für Alle da”. We learn from it that the shark not only has teeth – he’s got tears as well. But since it lives in the briny deep, no one sees them. A shame. After all, this cartilaginous fish is one of the oldest of the world’s many misunderstood creatures. A bit more sympathy couldn’t hurt! For the video to “Haifisch”, RAMMSTEIN worked once again with Joern Heitmann. We celebrate the outcome on Friday, April 23rd when the video premieres at www.myspace.com/rammstein. The single will appear mid of May – the exact date will be announced here shortly!

Please provide as broadest explanation as possible, the best, most exact and funniest will be chosen and added bellow each picture as a description. Thank you for your help!
Guitarist Richard Kruspe of German industrial metallers RAMMSTEIN recently sat down for an exclusive video interview with MySpace (strong German accent, but who cares?). The six-minute video, which can be viewed below, is interspersed with clips from the band’s latest videos, behind-the-scenes shots, and remarkable footage from the band’s first of four sold-out Berlin shows in late December in front of over 17,000 fans at the famed Velodrom.
A 4th name is confirmed for the Rock Werchter 2010. It is the best shockrock with a wink. RAMMSTEIN. Show! Sensation! You immediately know when Rammstein are around. As was to be expected, the birth of ‘Liebe Ist Für Alle Da’ (2009) caused a lot of fuss. Back in Germany, the band’s sixth album was barred from stores because of its offensive cover art and the S&M lyrics of ‘Ich Tu Dir Weh’.

According to Laut.de, RAMMSTEIN’s management has threatened legal action against any web sites that post links to the copyright-infringing material. As a result, Europe’s largest RAMMSTEIN fan site Rammstein-Austria.com is currently directing all of its traffic to its forum. Other RAMMSTEIN fan sites have also reportedly been told to refrain from posting links to the song, which is expected to appear on the band’s new studio album.
In 2004, RAMMSTEIN’s management reportedly sent a cease-and-desist letter to the Berlin-based RAMMSTEIN fan site RammsteinFan.de demanding the removal of several copyrighted images and ringtones.
RAMMSTEIN recorded the initial tracks for the band’s new album in Los Angeles with Jacob Hellner and the production team of Ulf Kruckenberg and Florian Ammon. A studio was rented near San Francisco for the bulk of the main recording work.

EMIGRATE, the side-project of RAMMSTEIN guitarist Richard Z. Kruspe, has entered the German Media Control chart at position No. 8 with its self-titled debut album. A video for the song “My World” “” which appears on the “Emigrate” CD as well as the upcoming “Resident Evil: Extinction” soundtrack (due on September 18 via Lakeshore Records) “” can be viewed below.
In a recent interview with Skiddle, Kruspe stated about his decision to handle the lead vocals himself in EMIGRATE, “It was difficult “” really difficult! I so regretted those times at RAMMSTEIN productions that I’d been demanding with Till [Lindemann, RAMMSTEIN frontman]. As a singer, you’re just incredibly vulnerable, always trying to catch the moment and the mood. What I came to realize, though, is that the whole thing is really about attitude. It’s not to do with whether you have a great voice or not, it’s about do you want to say something or just keep your mouth shut?!”

I found a huge amounth of emails in my mail box. All of them asking about one thing: Is that true that Till Lindemann is leaving Rammstein???
It seems to be a big HOAX.
Former KMFDM and current SLICK IDIOT frontman En Esch has commented on the fake press release that was circulated to media outlets on Monday (July 16) claiming that he was going to become the new singer of RAMMSTEIN.
In a posting on SLICK IDIOT’s official web site, En Esch stated, “Since I have been contacted by many friends and acquaintances about the news that I’m the new singer of RAMMSTEIN, I think I need to set the record straight. Although it sounds interesting, it is not true. I’m working on new SLICK IDIOT material and am in the midst of mixing tracks for MONA MUR. RAMMSTEIN and I are and will stay friends and I wish them the best in their future endeavours.”
As previously reported, RAMMSTEIN’s management has issued the following statement on the made-up press release that announced the departure of the band’s singer Till Lindemann: “[The news that Till would be leaving the group following the completion of its new record] is not true and was not released by either band or management. We have no idea where this comes from. The band is writing a new album at present.”
RAMMSTEIN will issue its “Völkerball” DVD in the U.S. in September. The exact release date will be announced soon.

It has been announced that after Rammstein finishes up their newest album, Till Lindemann is said to leave the band. He is going to be replaced by En Esch, formerly of KMFDM. Here is a music news article that mentions his leaving. You can read more information at Laut.de (in German)
“Please welcome the talented En Esch “” Till’s footsteps are big, but maybe he can dry our tears rapidly.”
RAMMSTEIN Parts Ways With Singer, Announces Replacement – July 16, 2007
Emanuel Fialik of Pilgrim Management GmbH, which represents German industrial metal pioneers RAMMSTEIN, has issued the following press release:
“On the 13th of July 2007 the industrial gothic top act RAMMSTEIN announces that after the release of the next studio album, which is about to get finished, the current singer and frontman Till Lindemann will leave the band.
“Till’s decision is mainly based on the increasing inharmoniousness within the band and was well deliberated. He will head now for other challenges which can be a solo career or maybe a new project (as of his own words).
“The band decided not to quit but announce a new singer. There is a clear statement coming from Richard Kruspe and Christoph Schneider that ‘nobody ever can replace Till Lindemann’ but since ‘we have still so much fun doing RAMMSTEIN we looked for a new singer which is charismatic in his own way without copying Till.’
“The new singer which was found and signed to be the new RAMMSTEIN frontman is the co-founder and ex-member of the electro industrial act KMFDM and current singer of SLICK IDIOT “” En Esch “” who recently moved to Berlin to join the band.
“We all will miss Till Lindemann who gave us many years of joy by listening to his unique grinding voice. Please welcome the talented En Esch “” Till’s footsteps are big, but maybe he can dry our tears rapidly.”
RAMMSTEIN will issue its “Völkerball” DVD in the U.S. in September. The exact release date will be announced soon.
RAMMSTEIN’s latest album, “Rosenrot”, received its long-overdue U.S. release in March 2006 via Universal Music. The CD, which was certified platinum in Germany for sales in excess of 200,000 copies within two weeks of release in October 2005, topped the official album chart in Germany, Austria and Finland, and landed at No. 2 in Sweden and Denmark, No. 4 in the Netherlands and the Czech Republic, No. 5 in France, No. 6 in Mexico, No. 11 in Italy and No. 29 in the U.K. In addition, “Rosenrot” achieved gold status in Austria, the Czech Republic and Switzerland.
