Scorpions mark six decades of musical journey with a grand stadium performance - Band Scorpions commemorates six decades of music by performing at a massive stadium show
The iconic German rock band, Scorpions, is set to celebrate their 60th anniversary with a monumental concert at the Heinz von Heiden Arena in Hannover, Germany on July 5, 2025. The event, themed as "Coming Home," promises a night filled with nostalgia and excitement for the band's dedicated fanbase worldwide, particularly in the USA, South America, France, and Eastern Europe.
Founded by guitarist Rudolf Schenker in 1965 in Sarstedt, south of Hannover, Scorpions have been a dominant force in the global rock scene for six decades. Over the years, they have shared stages with legendary acts like Aerosmith, KISS, Metallica, and AC/DC, leaving an indelible mark on the rock music landscape.
The band's legacy is evident in hits like "Rock You Like a Hurricane" and "Wind of Change," which continue to resonate with fans across the globe. The video for "Wind of Change," composed by Klaus Meine, the band's singer, has been viewed over 1.1 billion times on YouTube, underscoring the band's enduring appeal.
The upcoming concert is part of Scorpions' 60th Anniversary Tour, and while the exact setlist for the Hannover concert is not yet detailed, it is expected to include performances of their biggest hits along with musical surprises. The concert will also be recorded for a live album titled "Coming Home Live," which will be available on vinyl and CD starting November 14.
In a promising twist, Alice Cooper and Judas Priest are expected to perform before the Scorpions take the stage, adding an extra layer of excitement to the event. However, as of now, there is no specific information available about guest performers for this special occasion.
The concert sold out its 45,000 tickets in just minutes, reflecting the high demand for the event. Given the sold-out status, tickets are not currently available for purchase. The Heinz von Heiden Arena has been sold out for months for the Scorpions' concert, marking a significant milestone in the band's career.
Klaus Meine has promised an official festival with many interesting bands and guests to complement the Scorpions' performance, making this a must-attend event for any rock music enthusiast.
