After recently completing a hugely successful worldwide concert tour including a festival stealing appearance at Coachella, Kraftwerk legend Ralf Hütter is pleased to announce a new UK and Ireland tour for 2026, their first UK tour since 2017. They will now perform a total of 17 dates across the UK and Ireland in May and June 2026, including Sheffield in May. Back in June, Kraftwerk wowed UK audiences with a one-off performance at the Forever Now Festival in Milton Keynes, their headline slot illuminating the post punk bill to such an extent that The Times commented ?Even now, almost 60 years into their career, Kraftwerk are still waiting for the world to catch up with them. Not so much post-punk as post-everything, their techno-utopian machine symphonies will forever sound like the future.?

The multi-media project Kraftwerk was started in 1970 by Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider. They set up their electronic Kling Klang Studio in Düsseldorf, Germany, where they conceived and produced all Kraftwerk albums. By the mid 1970’s Kraftwerk had achieved international recognition for their revolutionary electronic ‘sound scapes’ and their musical experimentation with robotics and other technical innovations. With their visions of the future, Kraftwerk created the soundtrack for the digital age of the 21st century.  Their compositions, using innovative techniques, synthetic voices and computerized rhythms, have had a major international influence across an entire range of music genres: from Electro to Hip-Hop, from Techno to SynthPop. In their live performances, Kraftwerk composer, author and producer Ralf Hütter illustrates his belief in the respective contributions of both man and machine.
