Electro pioneers Kraftwerk are gearing up for an exciting tour this November and December 2023 in Australia and New Zealand. Kraftwerk will be dropping by the Riverside Theatre in Perth’s Exhibition and Convention Centre for a performance on Friday, 15th of December 2023. This highly anticipated concert promises a phenomenal experience for Perth music enthusiasts and is presented by Frontier Touring.
Blending electronic music, computer animations, and performance art, Kraftwerk concerts are renowned as a true "Gesamtkunstwerk" – an exceptional total work of art. Since its inception in 1970 by Ralf Huetter and Florian Schneider, the multi-media project Kraftwerk has been a driving force in the world of electronic music.
Based in their electronic Kling Klang Studio in Duesseldorf, Germany, Huetter and Schneider conceptualized and produced all Kraftwerk albums. By the mid-1970s, their innovative approach to creating revolutionary electronic soundscapes and incorporating robotics and technical innovations earned them international acclaim.
Kraftwerk's vision of the future has profoundly influenced music genres worldwide, from electro to hip-hop, from techno to synth-pop. Their pioneering use of innovative techniques, synthetic voices, and computerized rhythms has left an indelible mark on the music industry.
In their captivating live performances, Kraftwerk founder Ralf Huetter and his team showcase the harmonious collaboration between humans and machines, highlighting the importance of both elements. With their roots firmly planted in the Düsseldorf art scene of the late 1960s, Kraftwerk has come full circle, starting with a retrospective of their catalogue at the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in New York in 2012.
Their impressive 3-D concert series has taken them to renowned venues worldwide, including the Tate Modern Turbine Hall in London, Akasaka Blitz in Tokyo, Opera House in Sydney, Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris, Neue National Galerie in Berlin, and Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao.
Recognizing their exceptional contributions, Ralf Huetter and his former partner were honoured with the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2014. Furthermore, in October 2021, Kraftwerk received the prestigious induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
