Scorpions will play the Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona on Thursday 29 April 2027. Route Resurrection, promoter of all four Spanish dates, made the announcement today: after Barcelona come the Coliseum in A Coruña on 2 May, the Bizkaia Arena in Bilbao on the 5th and the Movistar Arena in Madrid on the 8th. Tickets go on sale on Friday 6 November, with a fan presale on Wednesday the 4th.
Barcelona opens the whole tour, which the band has called “Love, Peace & Rock ’N’ Roll”. According to the official website, the European leg runs to twenty-four shows: after Spain it takes in Germany, Poland, Lithuania, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Ireland, the UK and France, and ends in Milan on 18 July. Three Mexican shows follow between late August and early September, then eight nights at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas, from 9 to 25 September.
Those are the Mexican dates and the Las Vegas residency the band postponed in September, when they called off everything left in their 2026 calendar. They haven’t been on a stage since 31 July, when they wrapped up a six-week European tour: by 29 April it will be almost nine months.
The line-up is Klaus Meine on vocals, Rudolf Schenker and Matthias Jabs on guitars, Pawel Maciwoda on bass and Mikkey Dee on drums. Meine and Schenker both turned seventy-eight this year. The band’s most recent studio album is “Rock Believer”, from 2022.
