Although not officially confirmed, Ralf Hütter suggested that a second boxed set of their first three experimental albums—''[[Kraftwerk (album)|Kraftwerk]]'', ''[[Kraftwerk 2]]'' and ''[[Ralf and Florian]]''—could be on its way, possibly seeing commercial release after their next studio album: "We've just never really taken a look at those albums. They've always been available, but as really bad [[bootleg recording|bootlegs]]. Now we have more artwork. [[Emil Schult|Emil]] has researched extra contemporary drawings, graphics, and photographs to go with each album, collections of paintings that we worked with, and drawings that Florian and I did. We took a lot of [[instant camera|Polaroids]] in those days." Kraftwerk also released an [[iOS]] app called Kraftwerk Kling Klang Machine.<ref>{{cite news |last=Witter |first=Simon |title=Article |website=Kraftwerk.technopop.com.br |url=http://kraftwerk.technopop.com.br/interview_123.php |date=Spring 2006 |access-date=25 November 2009 |archive-date=12 April 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080412112707/http://kraftwerk.technopop.com.br/interview_123.php |url-status=dead }}</ref> The Lenbach House in Munich exhibited some Kraftwerk 3-D pieces in Autumn 2011.

Kraftwerk played at Ultra Music Festival in Miami on 23 March 2012. Initiated by [[Klaus Biesenbach]], the [[Museum of Modern Art]] of New York organized an exhibit titled ''Kraftwerk – Retrospective 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8'' where the band performed their studio discography from ''[[Autobahn (album)|Autobahn]]'' to ''[[Tour de France Soundtracks|Tour de France]]'' over the course of eight days to sell-out crowds. The exhibit later toured to the [[Tate|Tate Gallery]] as well as to [https://www.kunstsammlung.de/en/home.html K20] in Düsseldorf. Kraftwerk performed at the No Nukes 2012 Festival in Tokyo, Japan. Kraftwerk was also going to play at the Ultra Music Festival in [[Warsaw]], but the event was cancelled; instead, Kraftwerk performed at Way Out West in [[Gothenburg]]. A limited edition version of the ''Catalogue'' box set was released during the retrospective, restricted to 2000 sets. Each box was individually numbered and inverted the colour scheme of the standard box. In December, Kraftwerk stated on its website that it would be playing its ''Catalogue'' in Düsseldorf and at London's Tate Modern. Kraftwerk tickets were priced at £60 in London, but fans compared that to the $20 ticket price for tickets at New York's MoMA in 2012, which caused consternation. Even so, the demand for the tickets at The Tate was so high that it shut down the website.

In March 2013, the band was not allowed to perform at a music festival in China due to unspecified "political reasons".<ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/music/2013/mar/29/kraftwerk-denied-festival-appearance-in-china Kraftwerk denied festival appearance in China].

In October 2013 the band played four concerts, over two nights, in [[Eindhoven]], Netherlands. The venue, [[Evoluon]] (the former technology museum of [[Philips Electronics]], now a conference center) was handpicked by Ralf Hütter,<ref>{{cite web |author=Reageren Uw reactie Naam E-mail adres Versturen |title=Kraftwerk: 'Optreden in Evoluon is geweldig' |url=http://www.ed.nl/extra/muziek/kraftwerk-optreden-in-evoluon-is-geweldig-1.4058625 |website=Ed.nl |access-date=24 August 2014 |archive-date=2 May 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140502210754/http://www.ed.nl/extra/muziek/kraftwerk-optreden-in-evoluon-is-geweldig-1.4058625 |url-status=live }}</ref> for its [[retro-futuristic]] UFO-like architecture.

Eventually the band played three concerts 3 and 4 July in [[TivoliVredenburg]] performing "Tour de France Soundtracks" and visited the start of the Tour in-between.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Special Report Kraftwerk At The Tour De France – Electronic Sound |url=https://www.electronicsound.co.uk/features/long-reads/special-report-kraftwerk-at-the-tour-de-france/ |access-date=2024-07-04 |language=en-AU}}</ref>

At the request of race director [[Christian Prudhomme]], Kraftwerk performed at the Tour de France on 1 July 2017, this time in Kraftwerk's hometown [[Düsseldorf]]. French electronic band [[Air (French band)|Air]] opened the concert, invited by Kraftwerk.
