Those without much of a preference who are just looking to lose themselves in sublime electropop and mesmeric amalgamations of krautrock need only attend one of the nine nights. After each album is finished Kraftwerk fully intend to keep the party going with additional songs from a variety of other albums. This is absolutely a performance you won’t want to miss — Ralf Hütter, Henning Schmitz, Fritz Hilpert, and Falk Grieffenhagen will not disappoint.
We actually had the chance to catch Kraftwerk the last time they overtook the Walt Disney Concert Hall back in 2014. That makes this the second time the band has descended upon the venue to celebrate its discography. On the particular night Grimy Goods was there they dazzled with a performance of Autobahn featuring stunning visuals that enhanced the music.
