This is one of those music bookings that still surprises music fans even though the six-decade German electronic act has actually performed here once 11 years ago -- it was a 3D show, in fact, at the Chelsea. Great show, and it’s great they’re coming back. Kraftwerk is one of those acts audiophiles love and music fans who are unfamiliar will listen and go, hey, where I have I heard that before? This is a pioneering act in electronic music, and not only do a ton of artists take inspiration from it, but it is also frequently sampled and covered.

This free, outdoor event is family-friendly and packed with live music, food, vendors and entertainment.
