Tony Hawk, Riley Hawk, Lincoln Ueda, and 12-year-old Reese Nelson played the parts of skateboard robots to help launch pioneering German electronic music band Kraftwerk’s 2025 North American tour.
Founded in 1970 in Düsseldorf by Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider, some consider Kraftwerk the Beatles of electronic music and makes sense they would tap one of the forefathers of skating to promote their upcoming tour dates.
Kraftwerk revolutionized music by utilizing vocoders and electronic instruments to produce repetitive minimalist beats with robotic vocals and have influenced acts like David Bowie and Daft Punk. Check out this short video about the Godfathers of electronic music and explore the tour dates HERE.
