# Kraftwerk: Multimedia Tour 2026 at O2 Apollo Manchester
Legendary electronic pioneers Kraftwerk are bringing their iconic Multimedia Tour to Manchester on Friday 22 May 2026, and this is a rare chance to experience one of music's most influential acts in a proper intimate setting. The German band's cutting-edge visual production combines their hypnotic robotic synthpop with stunning 3D projections and multimedia displays, creating an immersive experience that's as much about sight as sound. If you've never witnessed Kraftwerk live, this is essential; if you have, the upgraded tour production makes it unmissable.
The O2 Apollo on Stockport Road is Manchester's most prestigious music venue, a legendary room that's hosted everyone from The Beatles to Oasis, and it's the perfect size for an artist of Kraftwerk's calibre. The venue's intimate capacity and brilliant acoustics mean you're guaranteed an up-close encounter with electronic music royalty, something you'd never get in a massive arena.
Getting there's straightforward—the Apollo sits in the city centre near Ardwick tram stop with decent parking nearby. Doors open at 19:00, so arrive early to soak in the atmosphere and grab a drink before the lights go down. Expect a setlist spanning their entire catalogue, from "Autobahn" to recent material, with the multimedia show transforming the whole room into something otherworldly.
