SCORPIONS, one of the most iconic and influential hard rock bands of all time, will return to North America on the “Rock Believer” world tour with special guests WHITESNAKE on the David Coverdale-fronted outfit’s farewell tour.
Fresh off of their sold-out “Sin City Nights” Las Vegas residency, SCORPIONS will kick off a two-month-long Live Nation-produced run of dates on August 14 in Toronto, with additional concerts in Los Angeles, Detroit, Chicago, Dallas, and Denver, among others. In addition to WHITESNAKE, Swedish band THUNDERMOTHER will be joining the tour.
SCORPIONS frontman Klaus Meine said: “After the amazing start we’ve had with our residency in Las Vegas, it’s about time to come back for a real tour to rock the U.S. like a hurricane again. We can’t wait to see all you rock believers out there!”
Coverdale added: “Once again it’s time to feel the sting of the SCORPIONS and the bite of the WHITESNAKE!!! Can’t Wait!!!”

* SCORPIONS only
SCORPIONS‘ latest album, “Rock Believer”, was released on February 25. The album was recorded primarily at Peppermint Park Studios in Hannover, Germany and was mixed at the legendary Hansa Studios in Berlin, Germany with engineer Michael Ilbert, who has earned multiple Grammy nominations for his mix work with producer Max Martin on albums by Taylor Swift and Katy Perry.
SCORPIONS originally intended to record the new album in Los Angeles with producer Greg Fidelman, whose previous credits include SLIPKNOT and METALLICA. However, because of the pandemic, some of the initial work was done with Greg remotely, after which SCORPIONS opted to helm the recordings themselves with the help of their engineer Hans-Martin Buff.
SCORPIONS‘ new album marks their first release since 2017’s “Born To Touch Your Feelings – Best Of Rock Ballads”, which was an anthology of new and classic material.
