Electro pioneers KRAFTWERK announce European Tour! Following their highly successful worldwide tours, electronic music pioneers KRAFTWERK have announced new European tour dates. Combining electronic music with computer animations, video, and performance art, KRAFTWERK concerts create a true “Gesamtkunstwerk” (total work of art).

The multimedia project KRAFTWERK was founded in 1970 by Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider. They established their electronic Kling-Klang Studio in Düsseldorf, where they conceptualized, composed, and produced all KRAFTWERK albums. By the mid-1970s, KRAFTWERK had already gained international recognition for their revolutionary electronic soundscapes and their musical experiments with robotics and technological innovations. With their futuristic vision, KRAFTWERK shaped the soundtrack of our digital 21st century. Their legendary works, incorporating synthetic voices and computerized rhythms, have had a profound influence on various music genres, from Electro to Hip-Hop, Techno to Synth-Pop.
