The band will perform each of their albums over nine nights
Over nine nights at Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, legendary German electronic music pioneers Kraftwerk will celebrate the 50th anniversary of their album Autobahn, which was composed, produced, and recorded by Kraftwerk founders Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider in 1974.

Concert number nine will be a finale with groundbreaking works spanning five decades of the Kraftwerk repertoire.
The series runs from May 21-30. Tickets go on sale on Thursday, January 11th at 10 am local time.
The multi-media project Kraftwerk was started in 1970 by Ralf Huetter and Florian Schneider. They set up their electronic Kling Klang Studio in Duesseldorf, Germany, where they conceived and produced all Kraftwerk albums. By the mid-1970’s Kraftwerk had achieved international recognition for their revolutionary electronic‚ soundscapes and their musical experimentation with robotics and other technical innovations. With their visions of the future, Kraftwerk created the soundtrack for the digital age of the 21st century. Their compositions, using innovative techniques, synthetic voices and computerized rhythms, have had a major international influence across an entire range of music genres: from electro to hip-hop, from techno to synth-pop.
