Kraftwerk has announced a North American tour for next year. The Multimedia Tour 2025 will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the German electronic group’s classic album Autobahn.
The more than two dozen tour dates will also commemorate the 50th anniversary of the band’s first U.S. tour in 1975.
Autobahn was Kraftwerk’s fourth album and breakthrough LP, reaching the Top 10 for the first time in their native Germany and climbing to No. 5 in the U.S. It’s a pioneering work of electronic music and has been cited as an influence by post-punk, new wave and hip-hop artists over the years.

Band cofounder Ralf Hutter, who formed the band in 1970 with the late Florian Schneider, will lead the quartet in shows that begin in early March and run through late April. You can watch a trailer for the tour created by skateboarding legend Tony Hawk, who appears in the clip, below.
The tour marks Kraftwerk’s first North American tour since 2022. A press release announcing the tour notes that it brings “together music, visuals and performance art. Kraftwerk concerts are a true ‘Gesamtkunstwerk – a total work of art.'”
Where Is Kraftwerk Playing in 2025?
The concerts launch on March 6 in Philadelphia and wind through the country with stops in Toronto, Boston, New York, Miami, Chicago and Portland, Oregon, before concluding on April 24 in Dallas.
