Kraftwerk have added two UK shows to their 2026 Multimedia tour due to “exceptional demand”, less than a week after tickets for the run of shows were first made available.
Alongside dates already announced in Belfast, Wolverhampton, Glasgow, Stockton, Sheffield, Brighton, Bristol and Bournemouth, the band will now play two concerts at Manchester’s O2 Apollo on 22nd and 23rd May, and a pair of gigs at London’s Royal Albert Hall on 6th June at 6PM and 10PM.
This is the first time the outfit have played venues in the UK since 2017, with the schedule kicking off at Bord Gais Energy Theatre in Dublin on 17th May. These appearances follow a North American tour which opened in March, 50 years on from their landmark breakthrough album, ‘Autobahn’.
“Kraftwerk 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,” a press release said. “Part performance, part digital installation, the Kraftwerk live show is an unmissable audio and technological spectacle.”
