Kraftwerk To Headline Vivid LIVE

Legendary electropop outfit Kraftwerk have been announced as the headline act for this year's Vivid LIVE in Sydney.

The band formed in Germany way back in 1970, popularizing the electronic genre. They became known for their catchy melodies, simplistic beats and heavy use of vocoders and computer speech software.
