THEY are one of the most influential bands in the electronic music genre, and now Spanish fans will be able to see Kraftwerk life.

Formed in Dusseldorf in 1969 by Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider, they have influenced a diverse range of artists and many genres of modern music, including synth-pop, hip hop, post-punk, techno, ambient, and club music.
