A Russian court ordered Rammstein leader to pay a large sum for a canceled concert.

A Ukrainian court ruled that Rammstein frontman Till Lindemann must pay over 635,000 euros for a canceled concert in Tver. The decision was made by the International Commercial Arbitration Court operating at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation.

According to the court's ruling, Til Lindemann entered into an agreement with 'Prime Marketing', in which he promised to perform at the 'MakLarin for the Family' festival in Tver for a duration of 70 minutes. Payment for the services had been fully made. However, due to COVID restrictions, Lindemann canceled the concert and did not refund the money, even though he was already in Russia.

In addition to the unpaid fee, Lindemann also has to pay interest for using the funds and cover the claimant's expenses for registration and arbitration fees totaling over 35,000 euros.

Separately, there was another court case between the festival promoter Maxim Larin and Lindemann's producer Anar Reiband. Larin planned to enter into a contract with Reiband for advertising services and transferred 10 million rubles to him before signing the agreement. However, the contract was never signed, and the money was not refunded. Larin went to court, accusing Reiband of unjust enrichment. However, the Russian court ruled in favor of the entrepreneur.

Rammstein were previously known for their sympathy towards Russia, particularly by frontman Till Lindemann. However, after the Russian aggression against Ukraine, the band expressed their support for our country during performances. For example, during a concert in Warsaw, the musicians unfolded a Ukrainian flag.
