Kraftwerk will perform at King John’s Castle next June

LEGENDARY German Electronic pioneers, Kraftwerk, are set to bring music and performance art to the Treaty City for an intimate show.
Presented by Dolans, the band will headline at the glorious surroundings of King Johns Castle on June 28, 2023.
The announcement follows the success of concerts at the venue over the past year featuring acts such as Van Morrison, Gavin James and Denise Chaila.
Announcing the Kraftwerk show, Mick Dolan said the electronic music pioneers are an incredible act to book.
“I fully expect this to be one of our best shows ever, Kraftwerk are the godfathers of electronic music and their live shows are well renowned throughout the world. Bringing together music and performance art, Kraftwerk concerts are a true Gesamtkunstwerk – a total work of art,” he said.
In 1970, Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider set up their electronic Kling Klang studio to start their multimedia project, Kraftwerk. In their Düsseldorf studio, in Germany, they conceived and produced all of their albums.
By the mid-1970s, Kraftwerk had achieved international recognition for their revolutionary electronic sound scapes, as well as their musical experimentation with robotics and other technical innovations. With their futuristic visions, Kraftwerk created the soundtrack for the digital age of the 21st century.

Using innovative techniques, synthetic voices and computerised rhythms, their compositions have had a major international influence across a vast range of music genres – from Electro to Hip Hop to Techno to SynthPop.
In their live performances, band members Ralf Hütter, Henning Schmitz, Fritz Hilpert, Falk Grieffenhagen illustrate their belief in the respective contributions of both man and machine.
In recent years, the band has circled back to their origins within the Düsseldorf art scene of the last Sixties, starting with their Catalogue at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, followed by further presentations at Tate Modern Turbine Hall.
In October 2021, Kraftwerk were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Tickets are available from December 2, via dolans or Ticketmaster.
