I don't think there will be a visa problem for Rammstein. They will have a big admin team that will sort out the paperwork. They are probably used to it already for when they go on a world tour and need visas for more exotic places, it just adds the UK that list.
It's a problem for small groups touring in their own van or individual musicians travelling to one off gigs etc.

Hope they don't cancel the 2021 gig in the UK.
Also. Daltry can get in the sea.

Aren't we matching the EU on this? People can come over and work for 90 days in 180? I'm still confused on how this impacts touring bands coming to the UK.
Edit*
I am indeed wrong. Ignore me!

We booked tickets for Rammstein in 2019 I don't know if NI is exempt. Because now they will have to deal with this, no news yet from the band.
I guess merchandise and equipment -may- be less problematic but the visa problem remains.
Well Dublin isn't far but hotels ain't cheap when there's a gig on.
