Lindemannization of Zagreb – 3 Major Events You Cannot Miss!

After over fourteen years of waiting, Till Lindemann is finally returning to Croatia!

December 9th and 10th, 2025 will be days of special significance for all of us who have been following his work for years. No one can predict when such an opportunity will come again – maybe soon, maybe in another decade, or maybe never.

So there’s no room for excuses. Tuesday, Wednesday, work, and obligations are just part of everyday life – we’ll deal with that later. Till is coming to Zagreb now, and no one knows when this chance will come around again!

Therefore, Zagreb is preparing for a full Lindemannization – and we will give everything we’ve got to make these two days an unforgettable memory.

For this special occasion, we’re preparing the richest Till Lindemann program on the entire tour – two nights, three locations, fans from around the world, and an experience that will be remembered for years to come!

December 9th, 2025 – Till Lindemann Warm-Up Party at DVA OSAM – Jabukovac 28

The celebration starts the day before at DVA OSAM, which will become the epicenter of Till’s global fan community. The atmosphere will start heating up from 20:00, when the doors open and we start serving our Till Lindemann and Rammstein delicacies until supplies run out.

You must be in the club by 20:45 – that’s when we officially open the Lindemannization of Zagreb!

An explosive entrance to the stage, rich lighting, special stage effects, equipment, and visual elements will set the tone for a night full of surprises.

Guests can look forward to a massive Till Lindemann cake, champagne for everyone, and free glowsticks that will give the entire evening a special visual identity. Guest DJs and surprise guests will ensure the energy stays high, and the warm-up will feature an exclusive giveaway – available only that night.

We recommend arriving by tram to Frankopanska station, followed by a 15-minute walk to the club. If you prefer an easier way, Uber or Bolt are the best options for a stress-free arrival and departure.

December 10th, 2025 – Till Lindemann at Arena Zagreb

The moment we’ve all been waiting for arrives the next day!

Arena Zagreb opens its doors at 19:00, giving fans enough time to enter, do some Till Lindemann shopping (check out the expected merchandise HERE), find your seats, and soak in the atmosphere.

At 20:00, Aesthetic Perfection will take the stage, preparing the perfect atmosphere for what’s to come.

Exactly at 21:15, Till Lindemann himself will step onto the stage!

We’re in for an intense and powerful performance – the one we’ve been waiting for all these years!

December 10th, 2025 – Till Lindemann After Party at Vintage Industrial Bar – Savska cesta 160

When the lights go down in the Arena, the night is just beginning, because we’re all heading to the legendary Vintage Industrial Bar, located at Savska cesta 160!

Uber or Bolt are the best choices right after the concert, as they’ll get you to the club quickly and easily.

There, the celebration continues with a special program featuring Till Lindemann/Rammstein cookies for all guests, glowsticks to keep the visual energy high, and guest DJs and other surprise appearances.

The After Party is designed as a grand final – a chance for all those who want to continue the night and wrap up this once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Why You Must Be There

This isn’t just a concert – it’s two days of unity, energy, and celebrating an artist who is returning to Croatia after over 14 years!

So gather your crew, come to the warm-up, rock out at the concert, and close the whole thing down at the Vintage After Party!

Zagreb – A City That Combines History with Modern Life

Zagreb is a city where old history meets modern life, and every street and square holds a story waiting to be discovered. From the charming streets of Upper Town to vibrant squares, museums, parks, and cafés, Zagreb offers a wealth of experiences for every visitor. Whether you enjoy history, nature, art, or gastronomy, Zagreb is a city that will captivate you at first sight.

Here are a few key locations you must visit to experience the true heart of Zagreb.

1. The Cathedral (Zagreb Cathedral)

The Zagreb Cathedral is undoubtedly one of the most famous and important symbols of Zagreb. However, due to reconstruction work after the 2020 earthquake, the Cathedral is currently closed to visitors, and its interior cannot be toured. The earthquake caused significant damage to this impressive Gothic structure, and restoration work is ongoing. While it may not be fully shining at the moment, the Cathedral and its towers remain a monumental landmark in Zagreb, and visitors often come to admire its exterior. Once it reopens, this will be an unmissable destination for every Zagreb visitor.

2. Dolac Market

Dolac Market is the most famous market in Zagreb, located right in the city center, near the Cathedral. Known as the "market of Zagreb," it represents the heart of the city. It’s busiest early in the morning and around noon when vendors arrive with fresh fruits, vegetables, dairy products, meat, and fish delicacies. Here, you can experience the true "buzz" of the city, the smell of fresh food, and enjoy shopping while exploring the colorful stalls. For lovers of local food, this is the perfect place to pick up typical Croatian products, as well as indulge in traditional treats like sirnica (cheese-filled pastry) and krafne (doughnuts).

3. Tkalčićeva Street

Tkalčićeva Street is perhaps the most famous street in Zagreb, especially when it comes to gastronomy and nightlife. This street is full of cafés, restaurants, and bars, where you can enjoy everything from traditional Croatian dishes to Italian cuisine and modern fusion flavors. The broad gastronomic offer is perfect for everyday meals or enjoying a coffee, while the street has also become a popular destination for nightlife. With its colorful facades and walkways, Tkalčićeva Street exudes a lively atmosphere and is a must-visit spot for any Zagreb stroll.

4. Upper Town and Funicular Ride

There are several ways to reach Upper Town, including taking the funicular from Tomićeva Street, walking up Radićeva Street, or climbing one of the many staircases leading to the top. However, the funicular ride is a unique experience. For just 0.66 EUR, you can buy a ticket at the entrance and enjoy a quick and scenic ascent, which is one of Zagreb’s iconic symbols. Although the ride is short, it’s definitely worth it for the panoramic views of the city. The funicular departs every few minutes, so there’s no need to wait long. Once at the top, you’ll find yourself on Strossmayer Promenade, where you can take in spectacular views of the city below. It’s the perfect spot for a relaxing walk and photos, with stunning vistas across the entire city.

5. Stone Gate (Kamenita Vrata)

The Stone Gate is the only preserved entrance to Upper Town from the Middle Ages, and today it’s one of Zagreb’s most important historical landmarks. It’s called "Stone Gate" because it has always been surrounded by stone walls. Today, the Stone Gate serves as a chapel, and there is a painting of the Mother of God that has become the protector of Zagreb. Visitors often stop in front of the gate and leave candles, making the Stone Gate a special spiritual and cultural place.

6. Lotrščak Tower and Grič Cannon

The Lotrščak Tower is one of the most recognizable landmarks in Zagreb. Located in Upper Town, the tower offers a beautiful panoramic view of the city and its surroundings. Historically significant, it was used as a defensive point. However, it is most famous for the Grič Cannon, which fires every day at noon. The sound of the cannon is very loud and offers a unique experience, so it’s worth arriving a few minutes before noon to witness this event. The Grič Cannon was once used to mark the time, and today it’s a tradition that attracts both tourists and locals. Be sure to climb to the top of the tower, where you’ll have an unforgettable view of Strossmayer Promenade and the entire city!

7. Strossmayer Promenade (Strossmayerovo Šetalište)

Strossmayer Promenade, located in Upper Town, is a popular spot for a leisurely walk and enjoying the view of the city. Here, you can relax, enjoy artistic exhibitions, or simply stroll and admire the old buildings and historical architecture. Strossmayer Promenade is perfect for relaxing with a coffee in hand and enjoying the beautiful view, especially during Advent, when the promenade becomes even more beautiful and lively with Christmas decorations and lights.

8. Botanical Garden and Parks

The Botanical Garden in Zagreb is one of the hidden gems of the city. Located in the heart of the city, it offers a peaceful oasis where you can enjoy walking among thousands of plant species. Additionally, Maksimir Park and Medvednica offer further natural beauty and places to relax and hike. If you’re in Zagreb and want to escape the urban noise, be sure to visit these green oases. For those staying for a few days, climbing the Zagreb funicular to Sljeme, the highest peak in Zagreb, is a great experience.

9. Museum of Broken Relationships

One of the most unique museums in Zagreb is the Museum of Broken Relationships, which focuses on the theme of love relationships and their breakups.
