60th Anniversary – Coming Home

They have played all over the world in stadiums and open-air arenas, in La Paz, Bolivia, at 3636 metres, in Rio de Janeiro in front of 1.3 million fans, in Los Angeles and Moscow, but on 5 July 2025, the rockers from the Leine will play in a stadium in their home city of Hanover for the first time. The football stadium, the Heinz-von-Heiden-Arena, is already sold out six months in advance. Singer Klaus Meine: ‘It's not only wonderful for us to feel how our fans here at home enjoy our music and want to celebrate our 60th anniversary with us, we are also looking forward to welcoming Scorpions fans from all over the world to our home base who are travelling to Hanover for the concert.’ ‘Basically, it's not true that we've never played in the stadium in Hanover,’ corrects Rudolf Schenker, founder of the Scorpions, ’but not as musicians, Klaus and I played a friendly match with 1. FC Rock'n Roll before the league match between Rot-Weiß Essen and Hannover 96. And I was even allowed to play on the hallowed turf of the Niedersachsen Stadium in the youth team of 1. FC Sarstedt before that.’ Lead guitarist Matthias Jabs: ‘I'm looking forward to not just being a spectator at Hannover 96 matches here at home for the first time, but to bringing the stands to a boil with our rock.’
