Earlier this year Kraftwerk completed an extraordinary nine-night concert series celebrating 50 years of Autobahn–which was composed, produced, and recorded by founders Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider in 1974–at Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. The shows garnered rave reviews in the press, a compass for what’s in store for the MULTIMEDIA TOUR: “...the central appeal of an in-its-entirety performance is getting to sift through the deep cuts, and ‘Autobahn’ had plenty to offer beyond the still delightful 20-minute title track. The meditative, two-part ‘Kometenmelodie’ offered a lovely little breather amidst all of the kling und klang of the heavy-hitters, while ‘Mitternacht’ felt like something out of a horror movie, with video screens zooming in and out on an unnervingly placid nocturnal residential scene.” – Variety “In the 50 years since Kraftwerk released Autobahn, which opened this residency on Tuesday, the alchemy they discovered – coaxing beauty and emotion from cold, lifeless technology – has filtered down through hip-hop and post-punk, synth-pop and ambient music and more.”  – Los Angeles Daily News “Looking like something out of the TRON movie in lit-up circuitry-embellished jumpsuits (which was fitting considering the concert took place at a Disney venue) Kraftwerk presented a unique concert experience…You didn't have to be a huge Kraftwerk fan to appreciate the immersive color-changing visuals and robotic flair of the show…” - Los Angeles Magazine “...a sophisticated night which showcased a band that has disrupted modern music more than anyone else in the last fifty years.” - MAGNETIC Tickets for MULTIMEDIA TOUR 2025 - 50 Years of Autobahn go on sale to the general public Friday, December 13 at 10AM local.

About Kraftwerk: 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. 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. The concert series at MoMA were followed by further presentations at Tate Modern Turbine Hall (London), Akasaka Blitz (Tokyo), Opera House (Sydney), Walt Disney Concert Hall (Los Angeles), Fondation Louis Vuitton (Paris), Neue National Galerie (Berlin), and Guggenheim Museum (Bilbao). Most recently KRAFTWERK played 8 nights with their 8 Catalogue Albums at LA’s famed Walt Disney Hall.  In 2014, Ralf Hütter and his former partner Florian Schneider were honored with the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.  Follow K R A F T W E R K Web | Facebook | X | Instagram # # #
