Kraftwerk huge UK gigs announced near Glastonbury
The electronic music titans Kraftwerk are setting the stage for an electrifying summer in the UK, announcing two massive outdoor gigs that will bring their pioneering sound to the forefront just ahead of the Glastonbury spectacle.
The German electronic legends are hitting the UK next summer, performing in a double-header that promises an unforgettable experience. They will be taking the stage at Halifax’s Live at The Piece Hall concert series on June 22nd, followed by an appearance at Cardiff Castile as part of the DEPOT Live series on June 23rd.
The schedule is packed with star power. The Cardiff engagement joins an already stacked bill, featuring a phenomenal mix of talent including Sonny Fodera, Ronan Keating, Blue, James Morrison, Jack Savoretti, and the legendary Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators. It is a lineup that promises serious musical synergy.
Meanwhile, the Halifax event is also set to be a major draw, where Kraftwerk joins a collection of high-energy acts, including Rick Astley, Kaiser Chiefs, Suki Waterhouse, Angine De Poitrine, and Rudimental. This dual performance strategy ensures that fans across the UK get to experience the scope of electronic music and contemporary rock live.
These dates strategically position the band for the biggest music moment of the year: the 2027 Glastonbury Festival, which is set to kick off shortly thereafter. The anticipation for the festival is palpable, with bookmakers already speculating wildly about who will headline the main stage.
Early favorites for the 2027 festival lineup include massive names like Sam Fender, Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Harry Styles, Radiohead, Muse, and The Rolling Stones, alongside emerging acts like Fontaines D.C. and The Rolling Stones, whose own speculation continues regarding their festival participation.
The buzz surrounding the festival is intensifying, with artists like Robbie Williams also announcing their own outdoor shows immediately following Glastonbury, fueling suggestions that they might even be in line for the legendary Sunday Legends Slot.
Even as the main festival lineup remains a closely guarded secret, there is excitement about the musical landscape of 2027. The groundwork is being laid for an incredible summer, with these major live performances acting as a vibrant preview of the energy and talent set to dominate the UK music scene.
Tickets for the Kraftwerk shows are available now and are selling fast, offering an opportunity for fans to witness the pioneers of electronic music in action before the summer truly begins.
