TOUR FOLLOWS THE LEGENDARY ARTIST’S INDUCTION
INTO THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME

Coming off of their history-making induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame this past weekend (October 30), electronic pioneers Kraftwerk announce their 2022 North American 3-D concert tour. The summer run will not only build on their concert tours worldwide 3-D of the last ten years, but also mark the tour’s long-awaited launch after 2020 plans had to be cancelled. Bringing together music, 3-D visuals, and performance art, Kraftwerk are a true Gesamtkunstwerk: a total work of art. Tickets go on sale to the public this Friday, November 5.

Kraftwerk was started in 1970 by Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider as a multimedia project. They set up their Kling Klang Studio in Düsseldorf, Germany, where they conceived and produced all Kraftwerk albums. By the mid-1970s, Kraftwerk had achieved international recognition for their revolutionary electronic soundscapes and their musical experimentation with robotics and other technological innovations. With their visions of the future, Kraftwerk created the soundtrack for the digital age. Using innovative techniques, synthetic voices, and computerized rhythms, their compositions have had a major international influence across a huge range of music genres: from electro to hip-hop, from techno to synth-pop, and beyond.

In their live performances, Kraftwerk—Hütter, Henning Schmitz, Fritz Hilpert, and Falk Grieffenhagen—make vivid their belief in the contributions of both man and machine. In recent years, starting with the 2012 retrospective of their catalogue at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Kraftwerk have returned full circle to their origins within the Düsseldorf art scene of the late 1960s. The 3-D concert series at MoMA was followed by further presentations at Tate Modern Turbine Hall in London, Akasaka Blitz in Tokyo, Sydney Opera House, Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris, Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin, and Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. In 2014, Hütter and his former partner were honored with the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. The group celebrated their 50th anniversary in 2020, and, in 2021, Kraftwerk were recognized for their ground-breaking work with their induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The ceremony took place in Cleveland on October 30 and will be broadcast on HBO on November 20.

Tickets for Kraftwerk’s North American 3-D concert tour go on sale to the general public this Friday, November 5, at 10 a.m. local time. American Express® Card Members can purchase tickets in select markets before the general public beginning Tuesday, November 2 at 10 a.m. local time through Thursday, November 4 at 10 p.m. local time.

If Kraftwerk’s history of boundary-pushing music and performance are any indication, these won’t be shows to miss. Complete ticket information for all upcoming Kraftwerk 3-D concerts can be found at: https://kraftwerk.com/.

FRANKFURT EVENT SPECIALIST BERND BREITER REVEALS NEXT STEP FOR BIGCITYBEATS SPACE CLUB KITCHEN DURING SPACE WEEK AT EXPO 2020 DUBAI

Frankfurt event specialist Bernd Breiter provided a highlight for “Space Week” at Expo 2020 Dubai with a live talk by Matthias Maurer.

The German Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai offered an extensive program on the subject of space travel as part of Space Week. The Frankfurt event specialist and creator of the WORLD CLUB DOME festival, Bernd Breiter, conducting a live video talk from Dubai with ESA astronaut Matthias Maurer in the USA, provided a significant highlight for the Expo.

Matthias Maurer will fly to the International Space Station on October 31, 2021, and begin his first mission. He is currently in Houston preparing for the mission titled "Cosmic Kiss" and the interview was conducted live from Houston to Dubai.

“For as long as people have looked up at the night sky, they have asked themselves: ‘How did the universe come about' 'or 'is there life elsewhere in the universe?’ These are the big questions that people have always asked. But very few of us will ever have the opportunity to fly into space. That's why I want to take them with me and share my emotions, as well as everything I see and experience in space. I also want to talk about science from space. That’s why I asked my friend Bernd Breiter to help us, using his unique means of sharing information because he is a mastermind at connecting people,” says Matthias Maurer regarding his ideas and expectations of the mission.

In a live discussion, Matthias Maurer asked the WORLD CLUB DOME CEO about his vision “Entertainment Meets Space”. The aim: To combine entertainment and science, to bring the fascination of science closer to more people, but most importantly to inspire the universal fascination with space in young people everywhere. To do this, extraordinary event concepts have already started being implemented in cooperation with the European Space Agency.

The next project is already in the starting blocks and raring to go. On October 31, in Cape Canaveral’s Kennedy Space Center, visionary event organizer Bernd Breiter will hand Matthias Maurer the ingredients needed for a “Club Kitchen” set to take place on the International Space Station. With the “Space Club Kitchen,” all of mankind can sit together at the largest global dinner table in history. Prepare for an out-of-this-world Space Club Kitchen event launch in February 2022.

Conceived within the genius mind of the BigCityBeats CEO, the incredible concept will be the first international, global, and orbital event to connect kitchens, restaurants, the world of entertainment, music, politics, and sports with the ISS. “Seen from space, there are no borders that separate us. I want to demonstrate this by using the two languages that everyone knows and cherishes: They are, of course, music and food. These are truly the universal languages understood by every civilization and all of mankind.” To do this, the man from Frankfurt has traveled directly from the Expo in Dubai to Florida in the US to ensure that he can be there in person as Matthias Maurer’s mission begins.
