November shows
NewsThe cancellation of the November European tour on the occasion of our 20th anniversary of the first album "God Has Failed" was a hard blow. But too many different regulations in Germany alone and in other European countries unfortunately made this tour impossible.

25 NOV 20 "God Has Failed" & "Pink Floyd-Set"
26 NOV 20 "God Has Failed" & "Tales From Outer Space"
27 NOV 20 "God Has Failed" & "Best of RPWL"
Can't wait to be back on stage!
November tour cancelled
NewsWith a heavy heart we unfortunately have to cancel our planned November tour due to the current Covid 19 situation. Until the very end, we hoped for more relaxation for live concerts, but unfortunately it doesn't look like it - on the contrary: the increasing number of cases and the different situations in the different countries and federal states make it impossible to formulate a hygiene concept so that we can organize these concerts can play. Since we had planned to celebrate the 20th anniversary of our first album, we will not be able to postpone this tour, but unfortunately have to cancel it completely.
We will use the time to write new songs and to be live with a new album as soon as possible. All the best for you and stay healthy!
