Kraftwerk bring their influential sound & visuals to Bangkok in 2026

Kraftwerk will finally land in Thailand on May 10, 2026, bringing their acclaimed live electronic ‘Multimedia’ show to Bangkok’s Queen Sirikit National Convention Center.

The debut follows a run of major appearances at Coachella, Fuji Rock, and a North American tour celebrating 50 years of ‘Autobahn’, also marking their Southeast Asia debut.

The Bangkok show will present Kraftwerk’s full audiovisual setup, where sound, animation and digital staging operate as one tightly engineered system.

This format has defined their live work for years and earned them a Grammy in 2018 for ‘3D The Catalogue’. It remains one of the clearest examples of how the group fuses performance, design and technology.

Their achievements reflect that reach.

Members Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider earned a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, ‘Autobahn’ entered the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2015, and the group joined the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2021.

Kraftwerk also honoured Ryuichi Sakamoto in 2024 with a rare live cover of ‘Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence’ during their Fuji Rock headline set.

Kraftwerk’s catalogue reshaped electronic music with clean sequencing, synthetic melodies and vocoder-driven phrasing.

Their albums such as ‘Trans-Europe Express’, ‘The Man-Machine’ and ‘Computer World’ defined a blueprint later adopted by Depeche Mode, Daft Punk, Chemical Brothers and many artists working with digital instruments today.
