German avant-garde industrial music pioneers Einstürzende Neubauten have announced they will finally be celebrating their 40th anniversay this May with “The Year of The Tiger” tour, a twice delayed excursion that was initially named after the Year of the Rat in the Chinese Zodiac back in 2020.
The news comes “in spite of the difficult ongoing situation in which we all still find ourselves and the current, unbelievably sad developments that have recently been added”, says the band, ultimately ongoing referring to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
In their message via Neubauten.org, the band goes on to state that they “believe that another postponement is unacceptable, we truly want to see our fans again, and we want and need to experience your reactions directly, we need feedback ‒ that’s why we became musicians!”.
The tour will also be in support of the band’s 2020 LP “Alles im Allem”, an album that explores the German capital city that has been home to the band for the past four decades.
At the moment, there is no news yet of a North American leg of the tour. Einstürzende Neubauten have not toured the US and Canada since 2005, with their previous attempt before recent Covid cancellations scuttled due to visa issues in 2010 for the band’s 30th-anniversary tour.
Below are all the band’s European tour dates. More info can be found via Neubauten.org.
