The original pioneers of electronic music, Kraftwerk need no introduction. Emerging from Dusseldorf out of the Krautrock scene of the early 1970s, the band’s 23 minute long, 1974 single ‘Autobahn’ paved the way for the use of synthesizers in popular music, influencing a whole host of 6 Music artists from Gary Numan and Heaven 17 to Hot Chip and LCD Soundsystem. Nearly 40 years later, the band bring their incredible 3D show to Latitude’s Obelisk Arena; the first time a live set by the band has been broadcast by the Â鶹Éç in over 20 years. If you heard stories from their sell-out run of shows at London’s Tate Modern earlier this year, you’ll know that this is a headline performance not to be missed.
