Rammstein in Bogotá 2010

Rammstein’s first — and so far only — concert in Colombia: Friday, December 3, 2010, at the Centro de Eventos y Conciertos in Sopó, Cundinamarca, just outside Bogotá. The community calls it “Bogotá 2010” and that is how international archives list it, even though the stage stood in Sopó.

It was the fourth of the five Latin American dates on the Liebe ist für alle da tour, after Santiago (November 25), Buenos Aires (27) and São Paulo (30). Colombian band The Brand New Blood opened. Because of transport and logistical difficulties on the South American leg, Rammstein had to drop several effects and stage elements: only the intro of “Ich tu dir weh” was played, turning into “Te quiero puta!”.

Together with the label and the promoter, the community actively supported the event with activities and a promotion plan. As a fan action we made the largest themed flag in the world, with a welcome message and the flags of both countries. Fire, German and thousands of Colombian voices: the founding night of the archive.

How it was announced, and how it went

The concert was announced in late July 2010. Tickets went on sale on Saturday, August 7, at 8:00 a.m. through TuBoleta, in two sections: Pyro, at COP 250,000, and Flame, at COP 125,000. Doors at 3:00 p.m., support act at 7:00 and Rammstein at 10:00 (colombia.com, 29-07-2010).

Rammstein went on at 10 sharp and played until almost midnight. The press put attendance between 10,000 (Rockombia) and at least 15,000 (El Colombiano, 04-12-2010). The venue was an events center still under construction, and the rain turned it into a mud field. Rockombia also noted the poor view from the Flame section and a hard exit through barbed wire.
