Cork on another dimension as Kraftwerk rock the Marquee

Way back in 1977, Kraftwerk gave us something of their philosophy on Europe Endless, when group co-founder Ralf Hutter sang how “life is timeless”. As usual, they were onto something.

As the latest iteration of the Dusseldorf legends took to the stage at Cork’s Live at the Marquee last night, it certainly felt like time had stopped, or had maybe just ceased to matter.

This was Kraftwerk’s only Irish date, the group’s first-ever show in Cork, and effectively a greatest hits set from an entity that effectively invented the genre of electronic music, then honed it to pop perfection — and all in 3D.
