Live in Mexico City hits cinemas in November

Update — 15 September 2026. The official announcement landed and corrects three things this piece had published from found information: the film's distributor is Trafalgar Releasing (not Universal, which is the album's label); the release is worldwide on 4 November, not just Germany and New Zealand; and Paul Dugdale is confirmed as director. The text below has been corrected. Everything we know about the Colombian screenings now lives on the release page.

Rammstein filmed their three Mexico City concerts in October 2022, on the North American leg of the Stadium Tour, and that record finally has a name, a runtime and a screen: "Live in Mexico City", 148 minutes and 34 seconds (on that figure, see the 29 September note below).

It's worth saying how this first became known, because it wasn't through a band announcement. The earliest details surfaced on 20 May 2026 at the FSK, the German film rating board, and RammWiki picked them up from there. For almost four months it was information found, not announced — until 15 September.

What is confirmed

Title and runtime: "Live in Mexico City", 148:34. Note, 29 September: 148:34 is the running time on the FSK rating record, measured at a different frame rate (it equals 142:37). The extended version on Blu-ray runs 142 minutes per the official store, and the cut screened in cinemas about 110.
What was filmed: the three Mexico City nights, 1, 2 and 4 October 2022, at the Foro Sol.
Director: Paul Dugdale, who has directed concert films for Adele, Taylor Swift and the Rolling Stones. He circulated as a press attribution from May; the announcement confirmed him.
Film distribution: Trafalgar Releasing, worldwide except Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, South Tyrol and Luxembourg, where Filmwelt Distribution handles it.
Cinema release: Wednesday 4 November, worldwide, limited run. France on the 6th; Japan on the 5th and 18th.
Format: 4K, with Dolby Atmos in rooms that support it.
Live album: 20 November, physical and digital, via Universal Music — the label, which is not the film's distributor.
In Colombia: Cinemark has announced it.

What isn't

Update — 23 September 2026. This list went out of date with that day's official announcement. The physical editions are now official and come out on 20 November with the album, except the Lucha Libre box, which the store ships from 19 March 2027 (a date it still marks "to be confirmed"). The formats were announced by the band, not a retailer: there are seven — 2CD, Blu-ray, 4LP black, 4LP coloured, 4LP White Label (500 copies), Deluxe and the Lucha Libre box (6,000) — detailed on physical editions. The official store publishes the 24-track listing. And in Colombia there are now twelve cinemas with showtimes, from Cinemark and Cinépolis, on the release page. Procinal and Cine Colombia are still unconfirmed. The list below stays as it stood on 15 September.

There is no official release date for the physical editions. The formats going around — 2 CD, 2 CD + Blu-ray, 4 LP and a deluxe box — come from a retailer listing dated 19 August, not from a band announcement.
No setlist has been published.
No confirmation from Procinal or Cine Colombia, no list of cities, no showtimes.

Why we published it anyway

Because it's the closest a Rammstein live release has ever come to our region. The band played Colombia exactly once, and for much of this community the Mexico City nights were the trip that was actually possible.

When we first wrote this we closed by saying we'd rather admit we didn't know than invent a date, and that the moment a Colombian screening appeared we'd publish it here. It appeared. What we know — which chains, which cities, which rooms have Dolby Atmos and 4K — is kept up to date on the release page, with a source for every claim and a clear note on what is still unconfirmed.
