I am Lars, 11y old, and this was my first Rammstein concert. I ended up crowdsurfing with Richard, thanks to my father, his friend Bruno and Richard who pulled me into his boat! Ostend Belgium - 27 June 2024
A perspective from the father:
I knew where the boats would start as I have been to the same R+ show twice 2 years ago (also in Ostend Belgium) and also twice last year in Brussels. And I only want to be in the Feuerzone as I believe it's the best experience of being in between the fire towers and close to the stage. About a year ago when tickets came online, my best friends decided they would bring their daughter to the concert for the first time. She's a few years older than my son. I was in doubt but decided I would also bring my son for the first time.
So we bought 6 tickets, and the day of the concert I knew where to stand, in the feuerzone, near the back a bit not far from the B-stage where the piano's play. There were other people with kids there too. We also saw the band arrive to the B-stage, while camera's are filming the crowd. When they played 'Engel' I told my best friend that I wanted to get my son in 1 of the boats. I also told the people standing around us so they knew.
When the first boat arrived, I tried to push him in but didn't work. When the 2nd boat arrived, tried again but Oliver gave a guitar pick to my son. I then asked my friend to help me push my son into Richard's boat.... When Richard arrived, I suddenly felt he was being lifted. I didn't know at the time that Richard actually pulled him into the boat haha... I only heard a big cheer from the crowd around us. I obviously was surprised that it had worked.
Without the help of my friend pushing and Richard pulling him in this would not have worked. As said before after this I just rushed to the front of the stage as I obviously wanted to get my son back LOL. Once the security gave him back to me at the front left stage, he was totally blown away with what just happened.
We went to the toilets, got a drink from the bar and went back to our friends in the feuerzone where we enjoyed the rest of the show. It was funny that so many people recognised him (even when walking home after the show) but everyone seemed to be happy for him.
