      German electronic trailblazers Kraftwerk have announced their first UK tour in nearly ten years.

      Under the leadership of founding member Ralf Hütter, the band initiated an extensive retrospective of their career with a performance at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 2012, showcasing a breathtaking 3D experience.

      That same year, Kraftwerk also performed at the Turbine Hall of the Southbank Centre, delivering an extensive set that encompassed their entire career.

      Next year, Kraftwerk will return to the UK, with 15 shows scheduled across Britain and Ireland in May and June 2026.

      The tour will kick off in Dublin on May 17th, before moving to Belfast, Wolverhampton, Manchester, and Glasgow. Kraftwerk will take the stage at London’s Royal Albert Hall on June 4th and 5th, before concluding the tour at Edinburgh Playhouse on June 9th.

      The setlist will feature selections from eight of their iconic albums: ‘Autobahn’ (1974), ‘Radio-Activity’ (1975), ‘Trans Europe Express’ (1977), ‘The Man-Machine’ (1978), ‘Computer World’ (1981), ‘Techno Pop’ (1986), ‘The Mix’ (1991), and ‘Tour De France’ (2003).

      Tickets for the tour will be available starting at 9am on Friday (October 10th).
