Expectations


After the great show in Frankfurt, I didn’t expect surprises in Dortmund since the setlist is exactly the same every night. Still, I wanted to feel how the show lands in a different venue with a different crowd.

Arrival, Merch & Beer


The Westfalenhalle is easy to reach by Straßenbahn from the main station, and getting in was smooth.


Merch was identical to Frankfurt: tour shirts for 45 euros with dates and 40 euros without. There were also pins, patches, badges, and Aesthetic Perfection shirts. The tour poster was 5 euros.



Beer was Brinkhoff’s. Tasted good, crisp pils. Price was 6.50 euros plus 3 euros deposit for the cup, so 9.50 total. Standard these days.


Tour cups were the same three designs as Frankfurt, including the Zunge re-edition style, the tour motif, and one referencing Ich hasse Kinder or Meine Welt.



Aesthetic Perfection


I only watched two or three songs because I was catching up with friends, but from what I heard the sound in the hall was clear and powerful. The show itself hasn’t changed much, but my own enjoyment has. This time it clicked more for me, and the tracks I like worked especially well in this room.



Till Lindemann


Till came out strong again, and the show flowed exactly like in Frankfurt, same setlist, same order, same pacing. Vocals were powerful, and the band felt locked in. Two dancers supported several numbers, there’s a new bassist, and some positions have shifted, but the chemistry worked well. The keyboard player delivered and even added short pole-dance moments; the drummer’s parts, especially in Altes Fleisch, were a highlight.


My personal peak remains “Übers Meer”. It sounded stunning again, and live it hits even harder than on the record.



The night balanced classics like Knebel (short segment), Praise Abort, Golden Shower, Fat, Skills in Pills, and Fish On with new tracks including Und die Engel singen, Du hast kein Herz, and Prostitution. Meine Welt appeared only as an intro fragment, again. I wasn’t a big fan of Du hast kein Herz on the album, but in the hall it was one of the most powerful moments.


All in, around 18 to 19 songs, roughly two hours, and a crowd fully into it.



Final Thoughts


Dortmund confirmed it, this tour is dialed in. Same setlist, same build, consistently strong execution. Till’s vocals were on point, the visuals worked, and the band felt tight. Tickets still seemed available in several cities when I last checked, so if you’re considering it, go.
