THEY are one of the most influential bands in the electronic music genre, and now Spanish fans will be able to see Kraftwerk life.

The German group has been around for decades, although it now has a much changed lineup, but it stays as innovative as ever.

Formed in Dusseldorf in 1969 by Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider, they have influenced a diverse range of artists and many genres of modern music, including synth-pop, hip hop, post-punk, techno, ambient, and club music.
