Kraftwerk announces Liverpool date on 2026 Multimedia tour

Electronic music pioneers Kraftwerk come to Liverpool in 2026 as part of a tour of the UK and Ireland.

The hugely influential German band will appear at the Liverpool Empire on Sunday, June 7 as part of their Multimedia tour.

Tickets for the show - part-performance, part digital installation - are not yet on sale.

The constantly upgraded 3-D concert series began in 2012 at New York’s Museum of Modern Art (MoMa) and city audiences promised an unmissable audio and technological spectacle.

Led by co-founder Ralf Hütter, Kraftwerk will play selections from across their eight classic albums: Autobahn (1974), Radio-Activity (1975), Trans Europe Express (1977), The Man-Machine (1978), Computer World (1981), Techno Pop (1986), The Mix (1991) and Tour De France (2003), all accompanied by state-of-the-art graphics.

Kraftwerk was started as a multimedia project in 1970 by Hütter and the late Florian Schneider, who set up their electronic Kling Klang Studio in Düsseldorf where they conceived and produced all Kraftwerk albums.

By the mid-1970s Kraftwerk had achieved international recognition for revolutionary electronic soundscapes and musical experimentation with robotics and other technical innovations.

In 1982, the band had a UK number 1 hit with The Model/Computer Love which spent 21 weeks in the charts.

And Kraftwerk’s compositions, using innovative techniques, synthetic voices and computerised rhythms, have shaped electronic music for the past 50 years, influencing acts including The Weeknd, Daft Punk, the Chemical Brothers, Justice, Gorillaz and Depeche Mode.
