German electronic pioneers Kraftwerk are going on tour next spring, announcing on Thursday (Dec. 5) a 25-city North American run that starts on March 6 in Philadelphia. The trek includes the group’s previously announced performances at Coachella 2025. It also includes a new date in Toronto at Massey Hall on March 8, 2025.

Ticket for the tour go on sale Dec. 13.


This tour celebrate the 50-year anniversary of the group’s fourth album, Autobahn, widely considered one of the essential blueprints for electronic music, along with Kraftwerk’s first U.S. tour in 1975 behind the LP. Following the trek, the group will also perform in June at the National Bowl in Milton Keynes, U.K.

On the upcoming run, called the Multimedia Tour, the four-man group will include original Kraftwerk member Ralf Hütter, who co-founded Kraftwerk with Florian Schneider in Düsseldorf, Germany, in 1970. (Schneider passed away in 2020 at the age of 73.)

The 2025 tour announcement comes with a corresponding video by noted Kraftwerk fan Tony Hawk, with the clip showing the skater and three pals doing skate tricks while dressed in the de facto Kraftwerk uniform of a crisp shirt and tie.

This past May, Kraftwerk performed a nine-night residency at Los Angeles’ Walt Disney Concert Hall that also celebrated Autobahn, which was composed, produced and recorded by Hütter and Schneider in 1974. The album spent 22 weeks on the Billboard 200 in 1975, peaking at No. 5. That same year, its titular lead single spent 10 weeks on the Hot 100, where it reached No. 25.

Kraftwerk was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2021.
