Just two days after being inducted to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Kraftwerk has announced North American dates for the 3-D concert tour set to take place in the summer of 2022.
Members Ralf Hütter, Fritz Hilpert, Henning Schmitz, and Falk Grieffenhagen originally planned the 3-D Tour for summer 2020 in celebration of the band’s 50th anniversary, however, Kraftwerk eventually scrapped those dates due to the pandemic.

In recent years, starting with the 2012 retrospective of their catalog at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Kraftwerk has returned full circle to its origins within the Düsseldorf art scene of the late 1960s. The 3-D concert series at MoMA was followed by further presentations at Tate Modern Turbine Hall in London, Akasaka Blitz in Tokyo, Sydney Opera House in Australia, Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, and more.
