Kraftwerk at Massey Hall was nothing short of a mesmerizing, mind-bending journey through electronic music history. For a band that has been at it for over five decades, they remain as innovative and hypnotic as ever.
The night was a perfectly curated mix of robotic precision and human nostalgia. From the opening pulses of Numbers to the hypnotic layers of Autobahn, every track was a reminder of how much Kraftwerk shaped modern music. The 3D visuals were stunning—cars zooming down highways, futuristic cityscapes, and neon grids synced perfectly with the beats, making the entire venue feel like a time capsule from the future.
The Model and Computer Love were highlights, bringing a wave of warmth to the cold, calculated synths. And when Tour de France kicked in, the rhythmic breathing and cycling visuals had the whole crowd nodding along. The encore, Music Non Stop, saw the band members “signing off” one by one, leaving just the machines pulsing on stage—a fitting farewell for a band that blurred the line between man and machine.
Massey Hall’s acoustics amplified every crisp synth line and deep bass pulse, making this an unforgettable show. Kraftwerk may be pioneers, but last night proved they are still light-years ahead of the rest.
