German electro legends Kraftwerk has announced their return to North America for the “Multimedia Tour 2025.”

The tour kicks off on March 6 at Franklin Music Hall in Philadelphia and wraps up over a month later on April 24 in Dallas, TX. The tour sees a total of 27 dates and includes two stops in New York. Kraftwerk dazzles audiences at Kings Theatre on March 13 and the legendary Beacon Theatre on March 14. The “Multimedia Tour 2025” commemorates Kraftwerk’s breakthrough album Autobahn and their first U.S. Tour, which took place in 1975.

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 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.
