Kraftwerk last performed in Wales in 2022 at the Green Man Festival, where the audience received 3-D glasses for the Mountain Stage show.
Band's history and influence
Formed in 1970 by Ralf Huetter and Florian Schneider, Kraftwerk's innovative techniques, synthetic voices and computerised rhythms have influenced genres from Electro to Hip Hop, Techno and SynthPop.
This summer, the band was invited to play a special open-air concert for the 100-year anniversary of the Bauhaus movement in Germany.
Kraftwerk concerts combine electronic music, computer animations and performance art, described as a "Gesamtkunstwerk – a total work of art."
