Kraftwerk

Electronic music icons and modern sound visionaries Kraftwerk are returning to the Czech Republic as part of their world tour. On July 15, 2026, he will perform at Prague's Karlín Forum, where he will present his unique audiovisual show combining music, digital animation and performance. The audience is in for an exceptional evening that confirms Kraftwerk's status as one of the most influential formations in music history.

Kraftwerk concerts are renowned as "Gesamtkunstwerk" - a total work of art that combines electronic music, robotic aesthetics and precisely synchronized visual projections. The founder of the project, Ralf Hütter, together with his team, live illustrates the symbiosis of man and machine - an idea that has been fundamental to Kraftwerk for more than five decades.

The Kraftwerk project originated in 1970 in Düsseldorf, where Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider founded the legendary studio Kling Klang. It was here that all essential recordings were conceived and produced, which fundamentally influenced the development of modern music. In the mid-1970s, Kraftwerk gained international recognition for their revolutionary electronic soundscapes, synthetic voices and computerized beats that became the basis for a whole spectrum of genres - from electro and hip hop to techno and synthpop.

With a vision of the future and a fascination with technology, Kraftwerk created the soundtrack of the 21st century digital age. Their influence goes far beyond the boundaries of music and reaches into the field of visual arts and contemporary culture. Since 2012, the Kraftwerk project has again been strongly connected with the art scene - among other things through retrospective 3D concert series in institutions such as MoMA in New York, Tate Modern in London, Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles or Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris.

Kraftwerk's importance is also confirmed by prestigious awards: in 2014 Ralf Hütter received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and in 2021 Kraftwerk were inducted into Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The Prague concert will offer a cross-section of the band's iconic work and present it in a form that is technically precise, visually impressive and conceptually timeless.
