About

The multimedia 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 ssoundscapes 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 computerised 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 – Ralf Hütter, Henning Schmitz, Fritz Hilpert,  Falk Grieffenhagen – illustrate their belief in the respective contributions of both man and machine.

 

Starting with the retrospective of their Catalogue at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 2012, in recent years Kraftwerk have returned full circle back to their origins within the Düsseldorf art scene of the late Sixties. Bringing together music and perfomance art, their 3-D concerts are a true  "Gesamtkunstwerk – a total work of art.”  The concert series at the MoMA was - among others - followed by further presentations at Tate Modern Turbine Hall in London, Akasaka Blitz in Tokyo, the Opera House in Sydney, the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, and the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin.

 

In 2014 Ralf Hütter and his former partner were honoured with the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.

    Kraftwerk Live in 3D was, by far, one of THE BEST CONCERTS I’ve ever had the pleasure & privilege of witnessing. In the lineage of musical artists such as John Cage and Karlheinz Stockhausen, Kraftwerk are trailblazers for mostly all forms of modern music. Some would argue that we would not have electronic music, if it were not for Kraftwerk. I agree with that sentiment. No Kraftwerk? If there were no Kraftwerk then we would have no Nine Inch Nails or Ministry, no Kanye West or N.W.A., no Daft Punk or any EDM & EBM, no jungle, no hiphop, no drum & bass, no house music - nothing! Like Little Richard, David Bowie, and The Beatles, our world of music & modern sound is what it is because of Kraftwerk. My dear friend and I were sitting way up in the nosebleeds and, still, the show was nothing short of AMAZING! I highly recommend that you see Kraftwerk live.

  • Incredible concert and venue

    by Postmandougie on 2022-07-13Orpheum Theatre - VancouverRating: 5 out of 5

    About the venue: The Orphium is a 1930s movie house that was restored into a concert venue. It's very baroque in styling. Seating is not the most comfortable, but staggered well enough for excellent sight lines. Acoustics are excellent! The Concert: A two hour multimedia 3D show. Total songs 23. The 3D effects were incredible! Sound was excellent, but Ralf's voice was noticably cracking in places, probably because it was the last stop on the tour. 9/10.

    All I can say was wow! This concert was one of the best ones I've ever seen! The 3D visuals were breathtaking and it was an impressive showcase of some of their best work from the robots to computer love. My favorites were The Robots, The model, Numbers, Computer Love, Tour de France and Airwaves. I hope they come back to Canada again in the next few years!

  • Kraftwerk Cool

    by Origdude on 2015-09-20Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - CalgaryRating: 5 out of 5

    Unbelievable sound work and Visual display for their performance. Very glad and fortunate to have finally see them live. Have been a follower since the early days around 40 years ago. Also not the oldest person there for a change. Go see them while they are still around.

  • Truly an amazing experience

    by Daveeeeeeeeeeeeee on 2015-09-20Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - CalgaryRating: 5 out of 5

    This was my first kraftwerk experience and it was something I'll never forget. I have seen a lot of other electronic artists but never seen the music being created live on stage. I have so much more respect for the pioneers of this genre now. I hope to have the chance to see them again!

  • One off the bucket list

    by tallsamoan on 2015-09-19Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - EdmontonRating: 5 out of 5

    Kraftwerk is arguably the most influential band of all time (yes, even ahead of the Beatles!), so this was a no brainer. I was afraid the show would be boring with 4 stiffs on stage not moving an inch for 2 hours, but the 3D Video show was awesome. Highly interesting, short while and fun. It didn't matter if 80% of the music was pre-recorded, but they had a few extended gems on hand. a 15 minute rendition of Autobahn, real robots on stage for "Die Roboter" and so forth. The sound at the Jube was also very good. A hint for all: Be on time: The show started at the advertised time sharp!

  • Kraftwerk 3-D concert A werk of Art!

    by Rhythum67 on 2015-09-19Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium - EdmontonRating: 5 out of 5

    The imagination of these ole timers are amazing! They are young at heart,but know how to move and perform a 3 D light show like no other.I'm so glad I went and was amazed at how many different ages of people were there.I read about it in the Edmonton journal.These boys are the founders of techno. They need to be heard more.

  • Blew my mind

    by mikw on 2015-01-15Queen Elizabeth Theatre - VancouverRating: 4 out of 5

    This was a show by the electronic fan's Superbowl winner. They were direct, interesting, classic and cutting edge. The lights and backdrop were excellent and it was 3D.

    Dance moves by 4 germans that have to be seen to be believed!

  • An amazing once in a lifetime experience!!!

    by clhphoto on 2014-07-06Queen Elizabeth Theatre - VancouverRating: 4 out of 5

    I first heard the German group, Kraftwerk back in the mid-1970s, via their AM radio hit, "Autobahn". Their pioneering use of electronic instruments and 'motorik-rhythms' set the course for other artists to follow, including David Bowie, Devo, Gary Numan, Ultravox, Depeche Mode, and many other artists in diverse genres of music. It was a once in a lifetime chance to experience them live in concert, which was enhanced by the dazzling sound and visuals. My only disappointment was that, there was NO available merchandise (T-Shirts, CDs, LPs) to purchase after the show.

  • Kraftwerk Delivers

    by Vlad2 on 2014-07-06Queen Elizabeth Theatre - VancouverRating: 5 out of 5

    There is something in Kraftwerk that is eternal. How, otherwise, to explain that their music appeals to their contemporaries, as well as to the bunch of people who never heard of them, yet they came to the 3D concert, since somehow they got the ticket. Kraftwerk, in English 'the Power Plant', has a strong artistic concept that they are keeping strong for decades. Their source is coming from the minimalistic electronica music from 60s, ever lasting German expressiveness by reduction of forms, so nicely represented by Bauhaus, and the performance as art, which was recently so epitomized by Marina Abramovich. The 3D concert series was developed at the time when the 3D TV entered our home, and it is a natural continuation of the Kraftwerk's comment on the social structure dictated by the technology that infiltrates our lives. Concert has a strong delivery, legendary precision, rhythm of electronic persuasions and bass that positively resonates within you, somewhere around your hart, old songs that are coherent, and 2 hours of pure synthetic energy as crated by four German demiurgs of electronic music. Great work, I would like to meet them again.

    First time seeing a 3D show. Music was great, so was the sound. Enjoyed everything minute of it.

  • Pionneers of electro music with 3D background

    by Pibo on 2014-04-02Métropolis - MontrealRating: 4 out of 5

    Great venue... Metropolis was packed! Brought me back to my teen years when I just started going night clubbing. The crowd in general was over forty and everyone seemed to be having a good time. The young puppies of today would not believe that this electro music existed in the mid ' 70s. And the 3D screen was a plus; added another dimension to the quatuor... Really happy I was there.

    Best Electo show ever. Visual and music in perfect electo style. The 3D is excellent

  • Wunderbar

    I had seen them during their last visit. This time was even better. A show to remember for years.

    Great Show. The 3-D effects were fantastic. Kraftwerk still lives.
