Yondr debuts in Russia to lock out smartphones from filming concerts of Rammstein leader
According to the Till Lindemann’s management, he wants "the spectators to enjoy the show without being distracted by their devices."
MOSCOW, November 23. /TASS/. The Yondr system, which prevents concerts from being filmed, will be employed in Russia for the first time at the coming shows of Till Lindemann, the frontman for the German industrial metal band Rammstein, a representative with T.C.I. concert agency told TASS.
"The Yondr system, which prevents the filming of concerts, has now become widespread in the West. At the entrance, all mobile devices are placed in special cases, which can be removed at the exit or in a Phone Free Zone. However, a visitor can keep the device throughout the concert. At Lindemann's December concerts, this system will be applied for the first time in our country," the representative said.
According to the artist’s management, he wants "the spectators to enjoy the show without being distracted by their devices."
In December, Lindemann will perform in Russia with his solo chamber show timed for the release of the collection of his early poems Messer ("Knife"). He is scheduled to give a concert in St. Petersburg on December 3, in Moscow on December 5, in Novosibirsk on December 9, in Irkutsk on December 11 and in Samara on December 13.
