We are accompanying the American punk rock band Rise Against on their tour through Germany, providing spectacular flame, fog, and pyro effects to create an impressive show.

On February 12, 2025, the Chicago musicians delivered an electrifying opening show full of energy and passion at the Velodrom in Berlin. Supported by L.S. Dunes and Sondaschule, they fired up the fans with a mix of classics and new songs.

With 'Re-Education (Through Labor)' as the opener, the band made an immediate statement. Hits like 'Prayer of the Refugee,' 'Savior,' and 'Ready to Fall' were wildly celebrated. A special highlight was the acoustic version of 'Swing Life Away,' which gave the audience goosebumps.

In addition to their powerful performance, Rise Against used the stage to deliver clear political messages on topics like social justice and climate protection. After nearly two hours of intense energy, they concluded with 'Give It All,' leaving the audience roaring with applause.

An unforgettable evening that once again proved why frontman Tim McIlrath and his band have been part of the punk rock elite for over two decades.
