<p>This marks Kraftwerk&#8217;s first UK/Ireland tour since 2017, and forms an ongoing branch to their recent &#8216;Multimedia Tour&#8217;. The show thus far has included a combination of music, visuals and a kinetic stage design, creating an utterly immersive performance experience. Through the years, Kraftwerk&#8217;s concerts have continually grown into audi0-visual spectacles, increasingly incorporating video projections, lightings and synchronised visuals as an integral part of their live experience.</p>
<p>Still fore-fronted by their founding member Ralf Hütter, Kraftwerk continues to remain at the forefront of modern concert technology, utilising multimedia formatting as a means to curate a fully sensory events. Through this theatrical framework &#8211; their classic catalogue, with the likes of &#8216;Autoban&#8217;, &#8216;The Man-Machine&#8217;, &#8216;Computer World&#8217; and beyond, will likely be revisited within this tour.</p>
<p data-start="168" data-end="467"><a href="https://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/kraftwerk-tickets/artist/880898?irgwc=1&amp;utm_source=2862475-NME%20Networks%20Media%20Limited&amp;utm_medium=affiliate&amp;utm_campaign=2862475&amp;awtrc=&amp;clickId=3UZUMPUbFxycTLk0isz8lT8aUkp3uMU9m2YbXQ0&amp;camefrom=CFC_BUYAT_2862475&amp;ircid=7559">Tickets to this tour will open 10 October 2025, 9am.</a> All details will be available through their official channels. The tour itself presents the first opportunity in almost a decade for UK audiences to see the band in a more sustained live format, rather than one-off festival appearances.</p>
<p>Both longtime fans and newcomers see&#8217;s this announcement as a chance to witness how a band whose influence underpins so much of modern electronic music still values live innovation. In an era when many acts scale back visual ambition for touring efficiency, Kraftwerk’s return feels like a statement: the fusion of technology and performance remains central to its sound, not just a stage effect.</p>
