SCORPIONS Announce 60th-Anniversary Hometown Concert With JUDAS PRIEST

German rock legends SCORPIONS are set to celebrate their 60th anniversary with a major concert in their

hometown. The “60th Anniversary – Coming Home” event will take place on July 5, 2025, at the Heinz Von Heiden

Arena in Hannover, featuring special guests including JUDAS PRIEST. Tickets will be available starting October 28

at 10:00 a.m. through Eventim.de.

In a recent interview, guitarist and founder Rudolf Schenker reflected on the band’s long journey, emphasizing their

ability to stay fresh and relevant. He noted that despite the challenges of fame, SCORPIONS have maintained strong

partnerships within the band, allowing them to navigate their success independently.

Guitarist Matthias Jabs also discussed the band’s ongoing appeal, sharing that after a 2010 farewell tour

announcement, fans and promoters encouraged them to continue performing. He expressed excitement for next

year’s celebrations and highlighted the importance of creating new music alongside their classic hits.

In previous discussions, both Schenker and lead singer Klaus Meine have dismissed retirement talk, acknowledging

the shorter road ahead while focusing on the joy of performing and connecting with fans. Meine reiterated that their

motivation stems from a younger generation discovering their music, which fuels their desire to keep playing.

The SCORPIONS, known for their classic album “Rock Believer,” released in 2022, continue to thrive in the rock

scene, with plans for a memorable anniversary celebration on the horizon.
