Kraftwerk are coming to the UK in summer 2027 for two open-air concerts. On 22 June they play The Piece Hall in Halifax as part of its summer concert series, and on 23 June Cardiff Castle as part of the DEPOT Live series. Tickets went on sale via Ticketmaster UK today at 10am UK time (11am in Germany); NME did not give prices.
'Kraftwerk really are true pioneers of electronic music so we are thrilled to be welcoming them to Cardiff Castle,' said DEPOT Live founder Nick Saunders, adding that securing one of just two UK dates would make it a memorable occasion. Other acts in the two series in 2027 include Rick Astley, Kaiser Chiefs and Rudimental in Halifax and Ronan Keating, Blue and Slash in Cardiff.
The dates fall just before and on the opening day of Glastonbury Festival, which runs from 23 to 27 June 2027. No acts have been officially confirmed there yet; organiser Emily Eavis has ruled out Madonna and Oasis as headliners. NME lists no further Kraftwerk dates for 2027.
