Rammstein are, as Brother John Robb and ourselves are frequently found complaining, generally ignored in the mainstream press despite being utterly massive in the UK. This is foolish, for they deploy one of the finest live shows you will ever see - when the Quietus went to their Wembley gig the other year, we could feel the heat from the explosions on our faces. White Lies sell out venues of a similar size, but they do not immolate stage invaders or blow up their keyboardist, do they? Anyway, John Robb's Louder Than War reports that next a greatest hits album called Made In Germany 1985 -2011 will coincide with a UK tour next spring, with dates below.

February 24th - London, O2 Arena
February 25th - Birmingham, LG Arena
February 29th - Newcastle, Metro Radio Arena
March 1st - Manchester, Evening News Arena
March 2nd - Nottingham Capital, FM Arena
