ZAGREB, 26 January 2026 – Legendary German electronic music pioneers Kraftwerk will perform in Croatia this summer, bringing their acclaimed Multimedia Tour to the historic Pula Arena on Tuesday, 28 July 2026.

The exclusive seated concert will see Kraftwerk present a near two-hour retrospective of their groundbreaking career, spanning more than five decades.

One of Europe’s most iconic concert venues, the Roman amphitheatre in Pula will host the band whose influence helped shape modern electronic music.

After extensive performances across major cities worldwide, Kraftwerk’s international tour now arrives in Croatia.

Their live shows are renowned for blending electronic music, computer-generated visuals and performance art, creating a fully immersive experience often described as a Gesamtkunstwerk – a complete work of art.

Kraftwerk was founded in 1970 by Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider, who established the Kling Klang Studio in Düsseldorf, where all of the group’s albums were produced. By the mid-1970s, Kraftwerk had achieved international recognition with their revolutionary electronic sound.

Through constant experimentation with technology, robotics and visual design, the group developed a distinctive futuristic aesthetic that has earned them cult status. Their work has often been described as the soundtrack of the 21st century.

Live performances reflect the band’s philosophy of collaboration between humans and machines, a concept central to Kraftwerk’s artistic vision. Their innovative compositions, synthetic vocals and pioneering production techniques have influenced countless genres, including electra, hip-hop, techno and synth-pop.

Albums such as Autobahn, Trans-Europe Express, The Man-Machine and Computer World are widely regarded as milestones in modern music history, cementing Kraftwerk’s place among the most influential bands of all time.

Kraftwerk’s impact on music has been recognised with numerous honours, including a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. In 2021, the group was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Their 2017 release 3-D The Catalogue also won a Grammy Award for Best Dance/Electronic Album.

Their celebrated 3-D performances have been staged at prestigious cultural institutions around the world, including New York’s MoMA, Tate Modern in London, Sydney Opera House and Berlin’s Neue Nationalgalerie.
