Kraftwerk have added two new dates to their 2026 ‘Multimedia’ UK & Ireland tour following “exceptional demand”.
The electronic pioneers have already taken the tour through North America earlier this year, as well as playing a set at Coachella. Earlier this month, they announced dates for the UK and Ireland leg, their first tour in the region since 2017.
Next summer will see the German legends kick off the shows at Dublin’s Bord Gais Energy Theatre on May 17, before heading to Belfast, Wolverhampton, Manchester, Glasgow, Stockton, Sheffield, Brighton, Bristol and Bournemouth.
They will then play shows at London’s Royal Albert Hall, before rounding off the tour with gigs in Liverpool, Nottingham and finally Edinburgh’s Playhouse on June 9.
Founder Ralf Hütter and Co. have now announced that two extra dates will be added – a second performance at Manchester’s O2 Apollo on May 23, and an evening show at London’s Royal Albert Hall at 10pm on June 5 (following a 6pm show on the same day).
Check out the full list of dates below. Tickets are currently on sale, and you can find yours here.

While Kraftwerk have now toured the UK since 2017, they did appear at the Forever Now Festival in Milton Keynes in June.
A press release stated: “Kraftwerk and the much-celebrated robots return to the UK bringing with them their constantly upgraded ‘Multimedia’ Tour, which began back in 2012 at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Part performance, part digital installation, the Kraftwerk live show is an unmissable audio and technological spectacle.”
The group kicked off the North American leg of the tour in March, 50 years on from their breakthrough album ‘Autobahn’. The first show at Philadelphia’s Franklin Music Hall on March 6 included performances of ‘Autobahn’, ‘Airwaves’, ‘Spacelab’, and ‘Neon Lights’.
In April, former Kraftwerk member Wolfgang Flür revealed he was tricked into working with an imposter pretending to be Daft Punk’s Thomas Bangalter.
