Likely indication of unlawful job practices. - Investigators from customs department showed up prior to the Rammstein performance.

The authorities examined over 1,300 employees from more than 70 security firms on Sunday. The primary concern was ensuring that these individuals adhered to immigration regulations and were correctly registered for social security by their employers.

According to Heike Wilsdorf from the Dresden customs office, this screening process took place before the main event, even before Till Lindemann graced the stage with his "penis cannon." On the first day of the concert, authorities conducted these checks on employees both inside and outside the event grounds.

The spokesperson for the customs office added that approximately 400 more thorough checks would be completed. The city's state police, public order office, and immigration authorities were also present to handle any matters within their jurisdiction.

As part of their "Europe Stadium Tour," Rammstein performed four nights in total, with 200,000 tickets sold across those four evenings in Dresden. Following the serious accusations against the lead singer Till Lindemann, they eliminated the "Row Zero" (the exclusive, narrow area between the first row and the stage) for this year's event.

In the past, Lindemann faced allegations from several women who claimed abuse occurred near Rammstein concerts. However, the alleged incidents—which Lindemann consistently denied—lacked sufficient evidence to support them. Subsequently, the investigation by the public prosecutor's office was discontinued.
