A Full-Scale Reunion: The Classic Lineup Returns
The 2025-2026 tour will see the return of some of the band’s original members, including the return of guitarist Uli Jon Roth, who left the band in 1978. His reunion with Klaus Meine (vocals), Rudolf Schenker (guitar), Matthias Jabs (guitar), Pawel Maciwoda (bass), and Mikkey Dee (drums) will mark a historic moment for Scorpions fans.
Uli Jon Roth, whose contributions to the band’s early albums like Fly to the Rainbow and In Trance helped shape the Scorpions’ sound, will join forces once again with the current lineup, creating a powerful dynamic that promises to be a showstopper. This reunion is set to be one of the most eagerly anticipated events in rock history, as it brings together two generations of Scorpions to create an epic rock experience.
“We’ve always been a band that evolves, but this reunion is a chance to return to our roots,” says Klaus Meine. “Having Uli back with us is a special moment for all of us. We’ve created some of the most memorable songs in rock together, and it’s amazing to bring that energy back to the stage.”
What to Expect from the Tour: A High-Octane, Nostalgic Ride
Scorpions fans can expect nothing less than an adrenaline-packed setlist filled with the band’s greatest hits. From the iconic “Rock You Like a Hurricane” and “Wind of Change” to “No One Like You,” “Still Loving You,” and “Big City Nights,” the reunion tour will showcase all of the fan-favorite tracks that have made Scorpions one of the most successful and influential rock bands of all time.
But the reunion tour will also include some surprises. In addition to the hits, Scorpions will perform deep cuts from their extensive catalog, as well as some newly reworked versions of classic songs. Fans can also expect a brand-new live experience with state-of-the-art visuals, pyrotechnics, and a larger-than-life stage presence that the band is famous for.
