Kraftwerk’s gig in Buenos Aires will go ahead after all

It was reported last week that the gig had been prohibited due to the Argentinian capital's ban of electronic music events.

Kraftwerk‘s upcoming gig in Buenos Aires will go ahead despite the city’s ban on electronic music events.

In April, the Argentinian capital ruled to ban all electronic events after six people died at Time Warp Festival.

The local government said they would no longer approve permits for major electronic music festivals until a new law is introduced to prevent drug-related deaths at music events.

The German electronic music pioneers are scheduled to play at Buenos Aires’ Luna Park Stadium on November 23. However, it was reported on Thursday (November 10) that the show could be facing cancellation. The city’s electronic music ban was said to apply to Kraftwerk because the band “use synthesizers or samplers as their primary instrument”.

However, promoters Move Concerts have now confirmed that they have worked with local authorities to ensure that the gig can definitely go ahead.
