Rumour seems to be gathering pace but no confirmation as yet.

Coming here to see if anyone's found confirmation, just heard the rumour through the grapevine so far.

I got to see them in Milwaukee in 2008 - was strange because they did like 2-3 shows a year then and they just happened to randomly pick Milwaukee. Must've been one of the last shows he ever did.
Was a really cool night...I was 22 and there were a lot of people who looked even younger than me. Like high schoolers in custom made Kraftwerk shirts. Although it was basically the same thing as the Minimum-Maximum DVD, seeing and hearing it in person is something else. Feeling the Autobahn bassline in your chest is a hell of an experience.

Think it was a regular routine to have some fun during Pocket Calculator. Florian did it the only time I saw them (on The Mix tour).

June 8 1998 was one of the most important nights of my life. Kraftwerk played a absolutely breathtaking show at the Palladium (the last tour w synths instead of laptops), after EVERYONE was headed Kontrol Faktory - LA's legendary all industrial club. And when I say everyone...— Das Bunker (@DASBUNKER) May 6, 2020

Great story. Takes me back to many fantastic nights at Kontrol and Helter Skelter
