German electronic pioneers Kraftwerk have officially announced their return to the UK and Ireland in 2026 with a new run of shows under their Multimedia Tour banner. The upcoming series will be their first headline tour of the region since 2017.
The band is led by founding member Ralf Hütter. Kraftwerk recently completed multiple performances across North America in 2025, including an appearance at Coachella. They also played a one-off headline set at the Forever Now Festival in Milton Keynes. Now, Kraftwerk are all set to bring their production back to British and Irish venues for a stretch of concerts in May and June 2026.
Kraftwerk announced the tour via an official Instagram post, captioning:
