German rock icons Scorpions are gearing up to hit the road again in 2026, following a difficult stretch that saw health setbacks and canceled shows in 2025. The group’s newly confirmed itinerary includes a series of concerts across Europe and the Middle East as part of their ongoing Coming Home – 60 Years celebration, marking six decades since the band first formed.
Tour Background and Recent Setbacks
After celebrating their 60th anniversary in 2025 — highlighted by a homecoming show in Hanover, Germany — the band carried the spirit of that milestone into a live album titled Coming Home Live, which seeks to capture the energy of their historic performances. However, the band faced several challenges during that season: drummer Mikkey Dee spent part of the year recovering from serious illness, and lead singer Klaus Meine endured vocal issues that forced the cancellation of multiple concerts early in the year.
Despite those interruptions, Scorpions have pushed ahead with new touring plans, and fans can now see a growing list of confirmed dates for next summer’s shows.
Confirmed 2026 Tour Dates
Scorpions’ 2026 shows kick off in March and run through July, with a mix of arena performances and festival appearances. Tickets are available through the band’s official site and authorized outlets.

Tour Themes and What Fans Can Expect
The 2026 leg follows Scorpions’ 60th anniversary celebrations, which included their hometown concert in Hanover that drew tens of thousands and later became a live album. On stage next year, audiences can anticipate a mix of classic anthems like “Wind of Change” and “Rock You Like a Hurricane” alongside other staples from their extensive catalog.
The Abu Dhabi performance on May 3 at Etihad Arena, for example, is positioned as part of the band’s celebration of six decades of music, blending their signature hits with high-energy performance elements.
Resilience and Return to the Road
After a 2025 marked by health and scheduling challenges, Scorpions’ 2026 tour represents a comeback effort that underscores their resilience and longstanding connection with global fans. With dates spanning from Western Europe to the Middle East and Eastern Europe, the band’s return to the stage will be watched closely by audiences who have supported them for generations.
