Kraftwerk to play at the Coachella Festival
Coachella, the famous 3-day music festival held annually in Indio, California, just announced their 2008 band lineup. Among the 125 bands in total are the German pioneers of electronic music, Kraftwerk. I didn’t see any other German names that I recognized on the list, but at least they picked a good one. Kraftwerk will be playing on the second day of Coachella which is Saturday, April 26. And while they are not the headlining band (Portishead is headlining), they are in the next tier down making them one of the three biggest bands that night. Not bad at all.
If you’re anywhere near southern California, this should be a great show. I might just have to fly clear across the country and check it out myself. Tickets go on sale this Friday, January 25th on Coachella.com.
