In the live recording of "Sonne," performed by Rammstein on January 1, 2023, the band was in the midst of their Europe Stadium Tour. "Sonne," originally from the 2001 album *Mutter*, is one of Rammstein's most iconic tracks and showcases their signature blend of heavy metal and theatricality. By 2023, Rammstein had released several studio albums after *Mutter*, including *Reise, Reise* (2004), *Rosenrot* (2005), *Liebe ist für alle da* (2009), and *Untitled* (2019), which was their most recent studio effort. The European tour marked a significant return to live performances following pandemic-related delays, and is notable for its elaborate staging and pyrotechnics, elements that Rammstein is renowned for. Their concerts often feature high-energy performances that captivate audiences, enhancing the experience of powerful tracks like "Sonne."
