Not so much post-punk as post-everything, their techno-utopian machine symphonies will forever sound like the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now <strong>Kraftwerk<\/strong> and the much-celebrated robots return to the UK bringing with them their constantly upgraded Multimedia Tour which began back in 2012 at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Part performance, part digital installation, the<strong> Kraftwerk<\/strong> live show is an unmissable audio and technological spectacle.<\/p>\n<p>Led by founder <strong>Ralf H\u00fctter<\/strong>,<strong> Kraftwerk<\/strong> will play selections from across their 8 classic albums: Autobahn (1974), Radio-Activity (1975), Trans Europe Express (1977), The Man-Machine (1978), Computer World (1981), Techno Pop (1986), The Mix (1991) &amp; Tour De France (2003). Each chosen composition is accompanied by state of the art graphics enhancing the monumental beats and melodies into something that makes for a truly transcendental experience.<\/p>\n<p>Starting with the retrospective of their Catalogue at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 2012, <strong>Kraftwerk<\/strong>\u2019s 3-D concert series has travelled the world since, calling at numerous venues among them Tate Modern Turbine Hall (London), Akasaka Blitz (Tokyo), Opera House (Sydney), Walt Disney Concert Hall (Los Angeles), the Montreux Jazz Festival (Montreux), Fondation Louis Vuitton (Paris), Neue Nationalgalerie (Berlin) and Guggenheim Museum (Bilbao). <\/p>\n<p>The multi-media project <strong>Kraftwerk<\/strong> was started in 1970 by <strong>Ralf H\u00fctter <\/strong>and<strong> Florian Schneider.<\/strong> They set up their electronic Kling Klang Studio in D\u00fcsseldorf, where they conceived and produced all <strong>Kraftwerk <\/strong>albums. By the mid 1970\u2019s <strong>Kraftwerk <\/strong>had achieved international recognition for their revolutionary electronic soundscapes and their musical experimentation with robotics and other technical innovations. With their visions of the future, <strong>Kraftwerk<\/strong> created the soundtrack for the digital age of the 21st century. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Kraftwerk<\/strong>\u2019s compositions, using innovative techniques, synthetic voices and computerised rhythms, have shaped electronic music for the past 50 years. They are simply the greatest electronic act of all time, and their DNA is everywhere \u2013 be it The Weeknd, Daft Punk, the Chemical Brothers, Justice, Gorillaz, Depeche Mode or seemingly every act that\u2019s ever picked up a synthesizer, they all owe a debt to <strong>Kraftwerk<\/strong>. In 2026, multi-media artist Ralf H\u00fctter and his team return to the UK to beam us into the future as only they can do.<\/p>\n<p>Kraftwerk: Multimedia Tour 2026<br \/>Venue: Edinburgh Playhouse<br \/>Date(s): Tue 9 Jun 2026<\/p>\n<p>Buy tickets for Kraftwerk: Multimedia Tour 2026 at Edinburgh Playhouse<\/p>\n<p class=\"post-modified-info\">Last Updated on October 10, 2025<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Back in June, Kraftwerk wowed UK audiences with a one-off performance at the Forever Now Festival in Milton&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":489935,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8816],"tags":[748,1102,4884,712,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-489934","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-edinburgh","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-edinburgh","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-scotland","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115353307442327200","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/489934","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=489934"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/489934\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/489935"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=489934"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=489934"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=489934"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
